Chi Walking Technique | Get Aligned & Engage Your Core

Reinforce the Body-Mind Component in Each Step

You have the power to change the way you move! Becoming a better walker is not dependent on how fast or how far you can walk, but on how well you can listen to your body and how well you can respond to its needs.

With the ChiWalking technique, walking becomes easier on your body while helping to eliminate the aches, pains and discomfort of walking incorrectly–ultimately, improving your overall quality of life!

Get Aligned & Engage Your Core

Find your strength through posture and alignment. Learn to maintain structural alignment to allow your muscles to relax and your chi energy to flow more freely through your body.

When you use your core strength to move your body, rather than relying solely on your legs for propulsion, you’ll experience less discomfort and injury.

Create Balance

Create a fitness program that keeps your body balanced, invigorated, and challenged; as well as healthy, vibrant and fit.

Physical balance is essential to a sound, efficient walking technique. A mindful awareness of balance is essential to creating a walking practice that suits your needs. You’ll learn to develop a consistent consciousness of where your center lies and move from there.

Make a Choice & Move Forward

Learn to choose ease over force. When you move from your center, you will maintain your alignment and utilize the natural strength of your body.

Moving from your center will eliminate impact because you’ll no longer need to push off with your rear foot and catch with the front foot. You’ll learn to consciously choose to move with ease, and from your center rather than leading with your legs.

I wanted to share with you my results from the Rock “n Roll half marathon that I did yesterday in Denver. I Chi Walked the 13.1 miles and finished with a new PR of 3:08:26. That is over 7 minutes faster than my last half marathon 7 years ago! It felt great! Thanks so much.

After a surgery I had many complications that compromised my health. I reached out to my ChiRunning Instructor and she taught me ChiWalking which was the basis of my getting in shape again. I eventually progressed to combining ChiRunning and Walking which led to me getting back to solid running. Many half marathons, triathlons and Ironman 70.3 races later, I’m strong, swift and injury free. Thank you!

I didn’t know why my lower back would occasionally hurt while or after long distance walking and the ChiWalking program helped me correct my posture issue. It is a wonderful program!

I want to thank you for ChiWalking. A stroke left me with limited balance and some weakness in my right side. I spent about three years depending on a cane and walker. People now say that they have never seen me look better. I am walking about 2 mile twice a day at 40 strides per minute. That may seem a little slow, but I feel it is OK for a man of 72.

ChiWalking has become our science and our art – a magical way to walk – leading to a more mindful and healthy way to live. We recommend it to everyone whether or not they ever want to walk a marathon – ChiWalking works!
