Myiam Kane

"An outdoor fitness enthusiast myself, I take great pleasure in sharing the precise and efficient cross-training method of Pilates along with the practice of trail running under open skies. Pilates is quickly becoming a popular path to balanced strength and flexibility and increased athletic longevity to those predisposed to injuries due to the imbalances caused by sports, occupations or just life in general! It is a wonderful cross-training method of exercise that is efficient and injury preventative. When I learned of ChiRunning® I was just thrilled to find a running technique that was a seamless blend of great postural alignment and cooperation with the laws of nature--making running effortless and painless! I find that as we learn principles of both Pilates and ChiRunning, such as alignment, breath, concentration, flow, focus, and harmony, we are better equipped to transfer these same values to our daily lives and gain a sense of true balance."
