Scandinavian walking tutorials commence in the city's heart, available for free
In an exciting development for residents and guests of Astana, the Department of Physical Culture and Sports has announced a series of free outdoor Scandinavian walking classes starting from August 6, 2025. These classes will take place three times a week, on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, from 19:00 to 20:00.
The classes are open to everyone, regardless of residency status, and no registration is required. Participants will meet at specific locations in various districts of the city, including Yoqa Park in Saryarka District, Central City Park in Nur District, Presidential Park in Sarayshik District, Zhetysu Park in Yesil District, Jeruiyik Park in Almaty District, and Triathlon Park.
Each session will be led by an instructor who will help participants master the technique and accompany the group along the route. Scandinavian walking, also known as Nordic walking, is becoming increasingly popular due to its accessibility and numerous health benefits. The aim of the project is to promote a healthy lifestyle and encourage regular physical activity among the population.
Madina Aytkaliyeva, press secretary of the Department of Physical Culture and Sports of Astana, stated that the project aims to bring good mood, new acquaintances, and a confident step towards a healthy lifestyle. Participants will be provided with Scandinavian walking poles.
