"The Nordic Walking Instructor Training Course with Nordic Academy not only taught me how to walk with the correct Nordic Walking technique and its interesting variations, but also how to teach these Nordic Walking techniques to others, what the common mistakes are and how to correct them. The enthusiasm shown by both Maree and Patrick is very infectious and their professionalism is apparent with all aspects of their Nordic Walking business and instructor course."  Tilly Waite, Physiotherapist, Rutherglen, VIC
