Walking yoga blends cardio exercise with a mind-body connection, so it's no surprise this workout is the new favourite for 2025. Health writer and keen walker Susan Griffin tried the workout to see what it was all about. I'm no yogi - I'm much happier in my walking shoes and waterproof trousers than in leggings on a yoga mat.
