The Secret to Good Running

Running with the Whole Body teaches you how to use the Feldenkrais Method to make dynamic improvements to your running. You will feel a difference after completing the first chapter. Your running will be smoother and quicker. When you have completed the book, you will know what it feels like to use your whole body to run.

You will be utilizing the "drive point" - the body awareness technique that uses the shoulders and arms to drive the motion of the legs. This connection is the "secret" to good running. Your whole body will be moving in a balanced, efficient, and synergistic manner. The result is a body whose torso, hips, pelvis and shoulders all move freely in the act of running. You will learn how to prevent injuries in a whole new way, while also becoming a smoother, more powerful runner.
