I’m a big fan of walking and I do my best to hit 7,500 steps every day. Mindful walking is nothing new to me, but I had never heard of walking yoga until Sophia Drozd, a yoga instructor and creator of the Yoga for Pain app, brought it to my attention.

Drozd explained that it was first established in the 1970s as a way of combining yoga and breathwork with an everyday activity: walking. I decided to give it a go, forgoing my usual headphones and music for some focus and breathwork.
