The Orcas Island Triple Ripple Trail Festival is pleased to include a presentation by Seattle instructor Laura Houston on the art of Chi Running, Saturday, Oct. 2, 5:30 pm at the Environmental Learning Center in Moran State Park.
Chi Running is an approach to distance running that combines aspects of Tai Chi, form change and mindfulness to produce effortless, pain-free movement. Houston is a certified instructor in Chi Running, and has taught hundreds of people through workshops and individual instruction in the Seattle area. An ultra-marathoner and avid ‘barefoot’ runner, Houston is frequently seen on trails around Washington state, as well as in the University of Washington’s Hoffman Lab where she is a biomedical researcher.
