Ryan Miller Bio

Meet Ryan Miller

My Story – I learned about ChiRunning entirely by chance. It was the spring of 2004 when, in my junior year of college, I found myself wandering around a bookstore looking for something to read. After about 45 minutes of browsing nothing had yet caught my eye so I decided to check out the running books. To my surprise I found a book called ChiRunning. Intrigued, I pulled it off the shelf and read the back. I read “run with your core muscles” and immediately made my way for the register.

Little did I know that the book would not only change my running but my entire life as well. I now run with far more ease and fluidity, it often feels as if I’ve just done a session of yoga when I’m done with a run. The holistic practice of ChiRunning has lowered my overall stress level, improved my health, emotional well being, and mental clarity. I am now a certified instructor looking to share these blissful moments with others.

What is ChiRunning?

ChiRunning is a revolutionary approach that makes running a safer sport by reducing impact and minimizing muscle use. Also a holistic practice, ChiRunning will improve all aspects of your life. By working with alignment and relaxation we will drastically reduce the chance of incurring an injury and increase the love for running.

FREE—Health Counseling Consultation: In order to fully maximize the benefits of your ChiRunning/ChiWalking program it is essential you eat foods that increase your energy levels. As simple as this may sound, we all know how complicated the area of food and nutrition has become. For this reason I advise you to contact Matthew Germain, health counselor and founder of The Sisu Project. His grounded, compassionate approach will help you get rid of the foods that no longer serve you while adding in foods that do. Matthew has been practicing ChiRunning with me for over 2 years. He follows the ChiRunning principles of body sensing and gradual progress in his health counseling practice. I strongly urge you to visit his website www.matthewgermain.com and sign up for a free consultation to find out if health counseling is right for you.
