Trekker Walks

Our next Trekker walk will be in January 2026.

Thanks to all who came along on our adventures this year.

Trekker Walks in Midlothian

A gentle session for movement, balance and mobility, suitable for those looking to maintain and improve balance and improve mobility in later years. These sessions are more relaxed than traditional Tai Chi/Shibashi sessions and suitable for beginners.

Participants should be able to self mobilise and take instruction to attend the sessions.

Sessions cost £2:

• Newbattle Community Campus, Sundays 10:15 - 10:45
• The Penicuik Centre - Wednesdays 13:00 - 13:45  (not on last Wednesday of every month)

More Shibashi sessions will follow at other venues in the near future.

This is a new addition to our 'Best Step Forward' programme currently running Strength & Balance sessions, Health Walks and Falls Prevention sessions.

If you'd like to see the various Shibashi moves, watch on the video link to find out more.
