Christopher Griffin
Chris, a Master ChiRunning®/ChiWalking® Instructor, was personally trained and mentored by Danny Dreyer, the founder of these two revolutionary techniques. A runner for over 20 years, Griffin experienced all of running’s challenges, injuries, pain and exhaustive physical effort. But, after coming across ChiRunning®/ChiWalking®, his experience of movement was forever changed. Running and walking went from result focused fitness sports to process oriented practices. The irony is, he has since finished in the top of his age group in multiple 5K, 10K, Dipsea Races and marathons (most recently qualifying for Boston ) -- all with less effort, injury free and more enjoyment.
He now runs and walks with greater ease, less effort, no injuries, better results, faster times, no need for recovery and has reconnected to the reason he likes to be active in the first place...for the sheer joy of it. That same joy Chris sees on his clients' faces, as he teaches them these techniques, is the reason he loves coaching it.
ChiRunning®/ChiWalking® was literally life changing for him and he relishes in sharing it with others. These techniques not only have shown Chris how to run/walk more smoothly, efficiently and without injury, they have shown him how to live a more holistic, balanced, focused and fulfilling life.
Chris lives in Mill Valley, California and travels throughout the United States, Canada and internationally, certifying the next generation of instructors. He also teaches these techniques to groups such as Leukemia Society’s Team In Training, Triathlon clubs, The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), and private clients.
