Thanks to you and to Ben Boyd from San Diego, I just found out that I have been running wrong all this time,running with square hips and with a heel strike. I did have the same question, how much hip rotation is recommended,and how do I avoid bending at the waist? I am so thankful for Chi Running and confident it will help. I can't thank you enough!

How much pelvis rotation are we talking about here? I've had runners with issues due to excessive pelvis rotation, but I'm assuming you mean a slight natural rotation. Thank you for spreading the word on proper run form, it's amazing how many people still have no idea that there is such a thing a proper form and that you can improve it through practice!
