ChiRunning Workshop Marin

As a Master Instructor with 20 years’ experience teaching Chi Running, Hazel Wood will teach you how to run with more ease and energy and prevent injury and give you lots of tips so that you can improve and enjoy your running more. Discover how efficient running technique affords less stress on your body and requires less effort. You will be guided through many exercises and drills designed to leave you with a clear sense of what the chi Running technique feels like in your body. You’ll enjoy a rich learning experience, get lots of personal attention and have fun.

We will not be doing lots of running (contrary to what you might imagine), so no matter what condition you are in, have no fear. This class is for anyone – beginners who want to start off “right”, seasoned runners who want to increase distance or speed, triathletes looking to improve the run portion, or if you’re just tired of being injured. The workshop is outdoors so dress in layers and bring water, sunscreen and any snacks you may need. You will receive materials to assist you with continued learning and practice.
Here’s a sampling of what you will learn:
• How to develop and practice good posture all day long
• How to move from your center (dantien) as in T’ai Chi
• How to avoid common form-related running injuries
• How to save energy and reduce dependence on leg strength
• How to make efficient use of upper body and arms
• How to use cadence to increase efficiency and reduce effort
• How to use gears for efficient stride length and speed
• How to relax and conserve energy at any speed

What others are saying…
I’ve tried running off and on throughout my life and I could never seem to find that “zone” that serious runners refer to. After taking the ChiRunning classes, I quickly realized my inability to find that “zone” was primarily due to the “way” I was running. By the end of the classes, I was running up and down hills with more ease than I ever imagined, and I was on a “high”. Patti L

Thanks so much for all your wonderful information Hazel. I went on a 4 mile run yesterday (the first since our workshop), 1/2 pavement, 1/2 trail and it was exhilarating, easy! and just felt so wonderful. 4 miles for me was a “big run” a week ago…this time it felt effortless….Again, thank you. I look forward to continuing to educate myself with your tools. Edwin

I just wanted to say a big “thank you” for yesterday’s class. I really enjoyed it and look forward to practicing the new teachings. I particularly appreciated your effective teaching style. You didn’t waste a moment and seeing as the class lasted over four hours, I think that’s a significant achievement. Thank you so much.
