NORWAY — The Western Foothills Land Trust is excited to bring back two invigorating and health-focused programs for the local community. Beginning this April and continuing through the fall, the Trust is offering Nordic Walking Thursday mornings and Gentle Flow Yoga sessions with Kat Larsen on Wednesdays. These programs are designed to promote health, well-being, and a deeper connection with our beautiful natural surroundings.

Nordic Walking: Thursdays at the Farm to Town Trailhead.

Starting April 11, in collaboration with the Town of Norway Recreation Department, you can get moving in a friendly, social setting every Thursday from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Nordic walking is a low-impact exercise that combines walking with the use of poles to engage the upper body. It’s a great way to improve cardiovascular fitness, strength, and balance while enjoying the outdoors.

The guided walks will meet at the Farm-to-Town Trailhead, located at 22 Water Street in downtown Norway. This unique trail system links Roberts Farm Preserve to downtown Norway. This free program is a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts and enjoy the outdoors together. Bring your own poles or email info@wfltmaine.org if you need to borrow a pair.

Gentle Flow Yoga: Wednesdays at Roberts Farm Preserve.

From 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. start your Wednesdays with Gentle Flow Yoga at the Roberts Farm Preserve Warming Hut, led by the experienced Kat Larsen E-RYT500. For this April through June series, each session offers a peaceful retreat into yoga, suitable for all skill levels.

Yoga mats and water are provided, all you need to bring is yourself and a readiness to relax. Space is limited to twelve participants per session on a first-come, first-serve basis, ensuring an intimate and focused environment. The Warming Hut opens for this donation-based program at 9:15 a.m.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of a community that values health, wellness, and the benefits of being outdoors. For more details on how to participate, visit www.wfltmaine.org or contact the Trust directly at info@wfltmaine.org.
