Running with Balance, Mindfulness & Strength

With Marilyn Arsenault and Lindsay Lynk

August 14 - 19, 2019

Due to low enrollment this program has been cancelled 

Following the breath, thinking fades. When attention is undisturbed, a sense of spacious awareness opens. Inhale, exhale, concentrate, let go.

Learn daily movement practices and creative running techniques, with time for simple meditative trail running. Discover how to balance mobility and stability in the body to ensure a long life of strength and ease of movement.

This program covers discussions and consideration of:

  • Reprogramming default patterns of body alignment for optimal, healthy movement and healthy running
  • How habitual gripping, collapsing, tightening and holding, prevents freedom of movement over time and limits our range of motion and ‘youth’ of movement, causing pain and injuries
  • Using the body determines how we function and how we age
  • Preventing running injuries and pain by thinking about how we stand, sit, walk and move every day

No running experience required.
