We are currently on a pilgrimage to India. We are not offering these walking classes until farther notice.
This is a walking class of a different kind. If you love to walk, to be outside, and you want to get deeper into walking, this is the right class for you. You will learn how to walk with more joy, awareness, and relaxation. At the same time you will develop your strength and health. Step by step you will experience how walking can also be a meditation.
Your guide, Petra Wolf, has walked across America and on several European pilgrimages in Spain, France, Italy, and Portugal. Petra has ten years of walking experience. She is working as a Doula and has studied shamanism and vision quests. During her walks, she developed a different kind walking: Walking with Awareness. She now lives in Santa Fe and is ready to teach and guide you in a new way of walking on the path and through life.
Each class session is one and a half hours long. We will walk between 1.5 and 3 miles. Along our path, we will have different kinds of exercises, for example: what walking pace feels comfortable; how easy it is to connect your pace with your breathing; how do you stay in the moment. We will walk Santa Fe and Eldorado walking paths. You will learn and practice step by step a walking meditation.
What to bring: Come in comfortable clothes and walking shoes. Bring water, sunscreen, a hat, and curiosity.
We offer Walking with Awareness classes in two formats: Group classes and individual, one-on-one classes.
Group classes
We offer two group classes:
- Every Wednesday morning from 8:30 to 10:00 am.
- Every Wednesday afternoon from 5:30 to 7:00 pm.
Please be on time, because the class will start sharp and it is difficult to catch up if you are running late, especially when you don’t know which path we will be on.
If you have signed up for a class and cannot make it, please call or email Petra so she knows you will not be there.
