Walking Yoga, Real Wellness & the Path Back to Myself

Recently, Anna Bartter, in the Stylist Magazine called walking yoga “the wellness trend we didn’t know we needed.” And honestly? I couldn’t agree more.

In a world of extreme wellness routines—5 AM ice baths, green juice cleanses, fitness trackers monitoring your every heartbeat—walking yoga feels like a gentle sigh of relief.
No pressure. No performance. Just movement, breath, nature, and presence.

What Is Walking Yoga, Anyway?

Walking yoga is exactly what it sounds like: a mindful blend of slow walking and yoga principles. It’s about being grounded in your body, connecting with your breath, and moving with awareness.

It’s not about burning calories or hitting targets—it’s about slowing down. Coming home to yourself.

And for me, that’s what wellness should have always been.

My Journey with Autoimmune Illness and Real Wellness

For many years I have been struggling with autoimmune conditions, women's health surgeries and PTSD. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and completely disconnected from my body.

Wellness isn’t a choice—it is a necessity. But what I find in mainstream wellness culture is rigid, punishing, and completely unrealistic for someone just trying to get out of bed in the morning.

The things that have truly helped me heal aren’t flashy. They are slow walks. Rest. Breathwork. Being kind to myself. Soft fabrics. A bit of sunlight. And clothes that don’t dig into my waist or make me feel guilty that I have the toned body I used to have

The Birth of Single Swan

This journey has inspired me to create Single Swan—a wellness-focused clothing brand designed to support women wherever they are on their path.

Clothing that moves with you. Breathes with you. Supports your nervous system and your confidence.

Because true wellness isn’t about pressure—it’s about permission.
To rest. To move gently. To feel good in your own skin, no matter what stage of the journey you’re in.

Why Walking Yoga Feels Like a Wellness Reset

Unlike many trends, walking yoga doesn’t ask you to be someone else. It doesn’t require Lycra that squeezes or unrealistic goals.

It meets you where you are—just like we try to do with every piece we design.

So if you’ve ever felt left behind by wellness culture, or if you're simply craving a softer way to reconnect with yourself, maybe this is your sign.
To take a walk. To breathe. To move gently.

And maybe—just maybe—to wear something that supports you while you do it.
