The best instructors never stop learning.

This is just one of the many fantastic sessions taking place at the INWA Convention 2026, packed with practical ideas, fresh perspectives, and techniques you can take straight back to your own groups.

Will we see you in Japan this November?

How do you teach Nordic Walking so everyone can succeed, progress, and feel included?

At the INWA Convention 2026 in Japan, Natalia Palacios Samper, Karen Ingram, and Katie Atkins will lead a practical session exploring how to adapt the INWA 10 Step Method™ for a wide range of participants while maintaining the method's integrity.

You will work through each step of the technique, learning how to regress, progress, and modify movements to support beginners, mixed-ability groups, and participants with specific needs.

A major focus of the session is understanding progression. From breaking movements down into manageable stages to layering coordination, pace, and complexity over time, you will gain practical strategies to help walkers develop with confidence.

The session also explores how to adapt warm-ups and stretches within a Nordic Walking session, making them purposeful, accessible, and progressive for every participant.

Whether you are supporting new walkers or refining experienced groups, this session will give you practical tools and a clear framework to deliver inclusive, effective teaching using the INWA 10 Step Method™.

You wouldn’t walk into a gym and expect results without learning how to use the equipment properly.

You wouldn’t play tennis without coaching.

You wouldn’t take up golf, skiing, rowing, or lifting weights without first learning the technique.

So why do people think they can pick up a pair of Nordic walking poles and automatically know how to Nordic walk properly?

Technique is what makes the difference.

Good instruction changes posture, propulsion, coordination, balance, and how effectively the whole body works together.

That is why British Nordic Walking instructors teach using the internationally recognised INWA 10 Step Method™.

Learn the technique properly. Feel the difference from the very first walk.

Sunday 21st June is the Summer Solstice.

The longest day of the year. More daylight. More time to walk. More time to be outdoors.

We’d love to see your Nordic walking photos from the day, wherever you are in the UK or around the world.

Maybe you’ll be out for sunrise.
Maybe it will be a late evening walk as the sun sets.
Maybe you’ll capture silhouettes on the coast, woodland light through the trees, or those golden evening skies.

Up close. Scenic. Atmospheric. Technical. Creative.

However you spend the Summer Solstice, share your Nordic walking moments with us and show us where your poles take you.

Tag British Nordic Walking in your photos or reply directly to this post with your images so we can see and share them with the community.

This Men’s Health Week, it’s time to change the perception of Nordic walking.

In the UK, especially, many men still think Nordic walking is only for the older generation.

It isn’t.

Nordic walking is a serious full-body workout used by athletes, fitness enthusiasts, outdoor lovers, and people looking for a highly effective low-impact way to train.

It works as an excellent cross-training activity alongside running, cycling, rowing, golf, strength training, and other sports. You build fitness, coordination, posture, mobility, and endurance while reducing joint impact.

And yes, there’s some pretty impressive kit involved too. Lightweight carbon fibre poles, technical equipment, and proper technique all play a part. Just ask our sponsors at Nordic Walk Store about the range of equipment available, especially their Ultra poles.

British Nordic Walking instructors teach using the internationally recognised INWA 10 Step Method™, so you get the full benefit from the very start.
