Good Gait Walking Workshop

Join Master Somatic Movement Therapist Donna Brooks (MSME-T, C-IYAT) for a 3 hour walking workshop.

Learning to walk without pain is a skill that can be taught and learned at any age and the benefits are far-reaching - in many cases, life changing.

By simply and pleasurably revisiting the movements that "lead up" to optimal walking. Using experiential movement and anatomy text, Donna will guide you into efficient and effective gait. She breaks walking down simply - offering lessons on rotation, balance and propulsion.

Enrolled students can access the course material by scrolling to the bottom of the page.

You will:

• Improve gait
• Relieve hip and back pain
• Have better balance 
• Increase speed of walking
• Understand ankle and foot role in gait.

Thanks to our work together, I walked all over Venice, hiked the walls of Dubrovnik and scaled the Acropolis pain-free. Her teaching has stayed with me, resulting in easier walking and even better sleep.”
