About Laura
Laura has enjoyed running since college, and ran her first marathon in 1985. While training for her second marathon in 2005, a friend lent her the ChiRunning book, and she started incorporating some of the focuses into her training. She ran a strong marathon and qualified for Boston. She became certified instructor in 2006, training under Chris Griffin, and was recently recertified in June 2009, where she helped train new instructors alongside Mary Lindahl. She has traveled to Denver and Chicago to assist Danny Dreyer in teaching ChiRunning workshops, and has taught hundreds of people in the Seattle area, as well. She looks forward to helping you bring joy and ease into your running and walking!

Class Description
I offer private instruction in two different formats: One three hour session ($180), good if you are traveling far to take a session with me. You can also sign up for one hour ($65) and decide later if you want further sessions - the discount (see below) will be taken at the third session.
The other format is designed to let you absorb the lessons over three sessions, and works well if you are local. This style follows the law of Gradual Progress, in that each lesson is a building block for the next. Ideally, we should space the lessons a week or two apart, allowing time to absorb what you learn and play with your new found technique before moving to the next level. Invariably you will have questions, and this is a good time to get those addressed as you go along. The format is as follows:
- first lesson - we cover posture and some of the lean lesson (depending on how much time you need)
- second lesson - building on session one, we cover the rest of the lean lesson, ankle lift, and arm swing. We'll take what you've learned and try it out on short runs or walks. You will learn how to speed up effortlessly and feel the flow in your body
- third session - we go for a run or walk together, for as far as you need (up to three miles) and you get feedback. An option is videotaping so you can see it as well as feel it.
Each session lasts about an hour and can be held in your home or office, or at a location we agree upon.
Pay for each session at a time ($65) or buy a pack of three for $180!!!
