'Add to your Toolkit: ChiRunning® Session'

Once you've been practicing the above basics for a few weeks, then it's time to add to your Toolkit of ChiRunning : 

* Torso & Hip Rotation, this is fantastic for fluidity in your running, creating greater distance in each stride (helps with speed) 


* Speed using Gears, stride and Cadence (spm), this was a game-changer for me. Incredible the difference before and after. 

* Hill technique for both up and down gradual and steep hills. Again a game-changer for dealing with hills. 


These sessions are scheduled as an 'Add to your Toolkit ChiRunning Session' and typically take 2 hours.  

€30.00 per person.

PAST CLIENTS - come back for a refresher session:

Liz Ryan recently came back to do the 1/2 day workshop as a refresher and had this to say: "Did the chi running workshop this morning as a refresher, last did it Nov 2017, well worth doing, found it even better than the first time. Tuned in much faster, found I had a good understanding of the technique but the refresher workshop helps to transfer it from the mind into the body. Subtle improvements to posture, lean and body sensing make a huge difference . Thanks Ruth for all the pointers and for being a great teacher!"

Special discount for refresher workshop.
