Chi Running Workshop

Utilise gravity.
Feel your body's energy.
Relax and move with ease.

Comprehensive half-day workshop. Chi Running® teaches a safe and efficient, natural running technique to reduce injury and improve personal performance.

In this workshop you will learn the basic components of the Chi Running technique. You will be guided through many exercises and drills designed to leave you with a clear sense of what Chi Running feels like in your body. You will not be doing lots of running (contrary to what you might imagine) so no matter what condition you're in, have no fear! You will spend several hours alternating between demonstrations, fun exercises and technique drills – both inside in the shop and outside in a local park.

“I did Balavan’s Chi running course after a disappointing first half-marathon, where I was far slower than I knew I should be, and suffered debilitating hip flexor pain throughout. I was so frustrated by my inability to get past physical niggles that I was close to falling out of love with running. When I was videoed in the course I realised how poor my running form was, and Balavan pointed out that I was using a huge amount of energy to create a minimal amount of forward motion - the antithesis of Chi technique.
