Chi Running Half Day Workshop in Marin| Hazel Wood Master Instructor

PLEASE NOTE LOCATION CHANGE. This workshop will now be held in Marin on the beautiful track in Kentfield.

As a Master Instructor with over 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
