ABOUT CHIRUNNING® & CHIWALKING®:
Developed by nationally ranked ultra marathoner Danny Dreyer, the ChiRunning® and ChiWalking® techniques focus on
improving postural alignment and biomechanics to greatly reduce the risk of injuries, aches and pains, and soreness. At the
same time, the techniques provide a framework to practice focusing the mind, engaging the core, and relaxing the rest of
the body. These skills will benefit you in all aspects of your life, not just in your running or walking program.
The ChiRunning® and ChiWalking® techniques can be beneficial to anyone, but they can be particularly of value to:
· Long-time runners or walkers who have scaled back or quit because of injury;
· Competitive runners and established fitness runners/walkers interested in improving their form and performance;
· Beginning runners/fitness walkers who want to learn proper technique;
· Practitioners of yoga, Pilates, or martial arts looking for a complementary cardio-aerobic activity.

techniques from Ease of Motion owner Alice Peters Diffely, a Certified ChiRunning® & ChiWalking® Master Instructor in
