About David

As an enthusiastic runner and a studio artist for many years, David continues to be enthralled with the technique and art of ChiRunning. ChiRunning’s synthesis of biomechanics, T’ai Chi, and principals of physics along with the beauty of artistic movement has been a perfect fit for David’s lifestyle. Finally, he has found a way to express his artist’s love of shape and form, while running injury- free! David’s sharp eye for the mechanics of sound form, strong shape and efficient running posture provides encouragement for his students to quickly and confidently gain new running skills.. He delights in using the traditional drills and exercises of ChiRunning in his classes to guide students into uncovering their own fluid, efficient and joyful ChiRunning styles.. David received his instructor training from ChiRunning founder Danny Dreyer and Master Instructor Kathy Griest. He was also an assistant to Danny Dreyer and Master Instructor Chris Griffin at the prestigious Washington DC Workshop. Additionally, he personally assisted Danny Dreyer and co-organized the nationally acclaimed July 2005 Chicago ChiRunning Workshop. Classes in basic ChiRunning as well as advanced classes and private sessions are available from David. Call or email him for the latest schedule. David Swanson Madison Wi, and St Paul MN.
