Testimonials

“Amy, I just want to thank you for Saturday’s session.  I learned so much and had fun!  I’m practicing my running and walking!  Thanks!” 

“The flying feeling was really fun and not something I had felt since I was a kid!”

“It felt like I wasn’t running.”

Hey Amy! The running is going great.  I’ve really seen a difference after implementing Chi running.  I’ve had no back pain and relatively no soreness after each run.  Yesterday, I tackled the hills of Ballantyne (aptly called “The Soul Crusher”) and felt very happy with my performance (thanks to those 45 degree arms!)  I’m still slower than my average but I’m okay with that. Right now, my main focus is on the alignment and keeping my arms by my sides.  I’m really excited and can’t wait to continue with the progress.” 

“I had a great time and the class helped me so so much…thank you! Chi on ;-)”

“I went out with my dog yesterday for a longer run in our neighborhood (a little under 6 miles…lots of hills).  I usually run for the first 2 miles, then walk/run the remainder.  Yesterday, I ran the entire time and felt great! Nearly 3 times the distance the first time out using the chi techniques!!  And, the best part: I felt *graceful*.  I have NEVER in my life felt graceful!!  It almost felt like I was floating.  I’m so excited about my new “practice”! So, on Saturday, when I said I wasn’t a runner….can I change my answer to “I am a CHI RUNNER”!  Thanks so much for your teachings and support!  I’m SOLD!!”

“You have truly made a difference in my long term health and I am forever grateful!”

“Amy! Just really quickly, we did about 4 miles this morning trying REALLY hard to keep it all together (and not sit!!!!! Elongate my spine! Look up!  Relax the shoulders! Check in with my feet! Belly button-spine! Don’t spill my Chi!  Knees down! don’t sit! Lean from ankles, not waist! Right elbow in! Don’t spill the water!).  The uphills were AMAZING!  What a difference the 45deg angle makes.  Breathing was better than ever.I have to say I felt like I was going sooooooo slow! But as it turns out, I wasn’t!   No problem with my hip and Pete felt good, too.  He BLAZED the first mile at 7:32!! So the stats are this:  My per-mile pace was 9:15 average (about 15 sec/mile faster than my last four runs).  Pete’s average was 8:20!   So briefly: THANK YOU!!!”

“Thanks, Amy.  Seeing the video was really helpful. When I did my workout tonight, I really focused on keeping my stride much smaller and having my legs land right underneath my body and my arms going back instead of reaching forward. I went much slower, but it felt really good.  I ran 8 minutes, then walked 2 and repeated that 4 times, and for the first time ever, at the end of the running segments, instead of feeling like I was going to collapse, I felt like if I had needed to keep running, instead of walking, I could have done it.  That was amazing!”
