Summer 2010 ChiRunning and ChiWalking Workshops
Learn the basics of the ChiRunning or ChiWalking technique. Get step by step training to improve your running or walking form, increase efficiency and reduce effort and injury. A partial list of some of the things you will learn:
- How to save energy and reduce dependence on leg strength
- How to develop and use appropriate core strength to power your running or walking
- How to make efficient use of upper body and arms
- The role of hips and pelvis in movement
- How to increase speed using gravity and relaxed legs
- Pre-exercise body looseners
- Post exercise stretches
In all workshops you will be guided through many exercises and drills designed to leave you with a clear sense of what the ChiRunning or ChiWalking technique feels like in your body. We will not be doing lots of running or walking (contrary to what you might imagine), so no matter what condition you are in, have no fear. We will spend time alternating between demonstrations, fun exercises and technique.
For ChiRunning, group workshops are available in different formats - full day, half day or 2 separate 2 hour classes. Pre-registration is required for all workshops. Private sessions can be arranged for either an extended single session, three or five sessions.
