What we’re about
We're a bunch of happy walkers who love walking the way are bodies are designed to walk.
Secrets of Natural Walking (SONW) is a uniquely effective and holistic approach to health and well-being which naturally benefits the body, mind and heart.
When we know how to take proper steps, we allow our body’s natural and beneficial functions to be activated, benefitting us mentally, emotionally, spiritually as well as physically. Through SONW, we learn how to walk naturally, using all the muscles in the body, activating the meridian and reflexology zones, connected to the earth and opening the spiritual heart with every step.
SONW can help you optimize your walking. Our bodies were specially designed with countless healing capabilities, yet due to the improper way we walk and use our bodies, and sometimes bad posture, these natural healing functions are either inactive or not fully maximized.
Walking is so simple and something we all do many times a day, yet few of us walk properly. Over time, we pick up bad habits which make the way we walk not only less efficient, but possibly detrimental to our physical health and emotional well-being. By learning the Secrets of Natural Walking, each step in our daily life becomes a beautiful opportunity to improve the condition of our whole being,
