There are regular dog friendly walks that include the Milford on Sea coastline and Keyhaven. 

Non members are welcome on a pay as you go basis.

However, it is not simply a case of grabbing a pair of poles and walking with them! It requires the correct technique in order to get the whole body working and it is essential you learn this from a qualified Instructor who will ensure you get the full benefit and fastest possible results. 

There are some Nordic Walking 'Free Taster Sessions' and 'Learn to Nordic Walk Courses' coming soon that you might like to join in with:

“What makes it so appealing is that it’s suitable for all ages and fitness levels, is simple to learn and really sociable.” says Suzanne Madden, a local Nordic Walking Instructor. “By using the specially designed poles, you use all the major muscles in the body and burn up to twice as many calories as ordinary walking but without any extra effort!” she adds. “The fact that we allow well behaved dogs on our walks is a special selling point – they seem to enjoy it more than their owners!” 

"The poles also reduce the pressure on the knees and joints and the gentle upper body movement is great for easing back and neck pain too which is why local medical experts recommend it. Those that have tried it all agree that being outdoors is energising and that they feel fantastic afterwards!"

Your teacher:

Danie Louise says: I've taught and performed salsa all over the world. I have over 15 years teaching experience and I'm now a professional mindset coach - this class is all about bringing those two disciplines together - to move great and feel great!

I love teaching salsa because it's a lot of fun and I've seen how it's helped so many people (including myself) to feel more confident and happy!

My aim is to help people gain the confidence and technique to enjoy dancing salsa, while creating space to have fun and forget about life's challenges for a little while. As someone new to the area I'm also looking to meet new people and I've learned that salsa is one of the most fun ways to do that!
