Love Walking For a Lifetime

ChiWalking will help you reach your personal goals from rehabilitation to managing weight to staying active as you age

Our mission is to help you walk with efficiency and free of injury. When you blend walking with the movement principles of T’ai Chi it creates balance and strength, improves overall health, and manages stress.

Walking is the most accessible form of exercise on the planet, and when done properly, this everyday movement can improve the quality of your life:

Move your body with ease while eliminating any resistance through proper mechanics

Protect your joints and walk safely by minimizing impact and overuse

Integrate changes gradually and mindfully, while listening to your body

Invite your walk to inspire your mind, activate your body and nourish your soul

start your journey

ChiWalking is based on a centuries-old principle from T’ai Chi: shift your workload to the core muscles. ChiWalking emphasizes body alignment and mindfulness while strengthening the core muscles of the body leading to an intensely rewarding practice.

See What Others are Saying

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!

ChiRunning gave to me a precious gift. After being unable to run for ten years because of injury, at age 52 I'm again enjoying pleasurable, injury-free trail run in the Shawagunk Mountains. I can now move on land with the same economy, flow, and mindfulness that makes swimming such a bliss for me. I tell people that ChiRunning is an owner's manual for anyone who has legs and the desire to use them for health and happiness.
