What is Yogiwalkie ?

Welcome to Ekam Yoga Studio, your studio for reconnection in the heart of Arizona. We believe yoga goes far beyond the studio walls. That is why we invite you to experience unique outdoor yoga Phoenix sessions through the innovative YogiWalkie method.
This mindful walking practice, guided by conscious breathing, oxygenates your body and clears your mind. Whether you are a dedicated Ashtanga practitioner or looking to recharge in the desert landscape, our open-air sessions adapt to your pace. Join us to breathe, walk and renew your energy.

The origin

In 2011, YogiWalkie was created in France by yoga practitioner Peggy Menager. She wanted to bring the practice out of the studio to enjoy the combined benefits of yoga and walking in nature. She also aimed to emphasize that practicing asanas is just one part of yoga.

The method

A YogiWalkie is a two-hour session designed to journey through the body and free the mind from clutter. Just like in a traditional studio class, we engage the body in connection with the breath. This unique style of outdoor yoga Phoenix incorporates various aspects of yoga—such as the five senses, balance, concentration, and movement coordination—seamlessly into the walk.

Benefits of YogiWalkie

Practicing outdoor yoga Phoenix sessions amplifies the benefits of your practice through a powerful natural process:

Boosts endorphins: Releases “happiness hormones” during physical outdoor activity.
Elevates serotonin: Increases the “pleasure hormone” through contact with nature and Arizona sunlight.
Reduces stress: Lowers cortisol and adrenaline levels, positively impacting blood pressure and heart rate.
Synthesizes Vitamin D: Stimulates production through natural outdoor exposure.

BENEFITS OF walking

Walking is often called “living walking” because it integrates seamlessly into our lifestyle—just like eating to stay healthy or breathing to live. Daily walking is essential to stimulate the body, activate vital functions, and optimize your overall well-being.
