As a national class runner, trained by some of the nation’s top coaches, I doubted Danny would have much to offer that I didn’t already know. Fortunately for my teams, as well as my own running, I kept an open mind. ChiRunning not only helped my level 1, 2 and 3 runners but it improved my running as well! His running technique improves performance at all levels and most importantly prevents injuries.

As Yoga Teacher-in-Residence and Wellness Director for the New York Road Runners, I have seen how stiff, tight, and injured runners can become when they think performance is simply about building leg strength and running more miles. Danny Dreyer's insightful approach can change all that. His remarkable program offers a completely new way to run without effort or injury.

It will have you jumping from your seat to discover ‘secrets’ that will, [ Read More ]

ChiRunning is both spectacularly simple and unique. Danny Dreyer revolutionizes the sport by synthesizing running, tai chi chuan, and applied physics, inventing a new way to run that builds on ancient wisdom. Like the soft and supple power of water to cut through a mountain, he enables runners to propel themselves with less effort, improve their gait, increase their endurance, and knock their socks off by having a really good time.

Danny Dreyer and ChiRunning gave me a precious gift. After being unable to run for 10 years because of injury, at age 52 I'm again enjoying pleasurable, injury-free trail runs in the Shawangunk Mountains. I can now move on land with the same economy, flow and mindfulness that make swimming such bliss for me. I tell people that ChiRunning is an owners manual for anyone who has legs and the desire to use them for [ Read More ]

ChiRunning is a great way to practice the principles of Pilates while running. Danny's ChiRunning technique results in fluid movement working from your center. Using only the muscle work you need to be using and letting gravity be your friend leads to efficient movement, one of the key principles of Pilates! ChiRunning and Pilates are totally complimentary! I highly recommend Danny's clear explanation of these healthy running concepts. Enjoy in great health [ Read More ]

After 21 years as a Sports Podiatrist specializing in running injuries and thousands of exams a year, I thought I had seen it all. Then a patient came in who, after taking a ChiRunning class, looked like a different runner - an amazing improvement. It was obvious his impact forces were minimized. Since then I have referred many happy patients to ChiRunning. This technique works to reduce injury and with it virtually any [ Read More ]

ChiWalking is a walking technique that places much less stress than conventional walking on the joints and supporting structures in the legs and back. I have recommended the technique to many patients who suffer from arthritis in the legs and/or back, but would like to continue to walk regularly for exercise. Using ChiWalking, my arthritis patients are able to walk farther, more frequently, and with less discomfort, than they were able to previously. In turn, [ Read More ]
