ChiWalking
ChiWalking draws on the principles of T'ai Chi to create a whole body fitness program for people of any fitness level. During walking your movement originates from your core creating a more energy efficient walking form and reduces your chances of injury. Through gradual progress & body sensing you create new habits in your walking, "exercise walking" and "everyday walking." ChiWalking is an inspirational, mind-body, health and fitness program that keeps you up and out, and moving towards better health. Skills are transferrable to running. To learn more about ChiWalking contact Michelle Spevak, ChiWalking Certified Instructor at mentor.michelle@gmail.com or www.chiways.com.
