(Hendersonville, 03/20/08) — On Thursday, April 3, a guided walk will be held in the Balsam neighborhood at 10:00 am. Starting point is the parking area behind Pro's Italian Dining on Spartanburg Hwy. in Hendersonville. Michelle Spevak, ChiWalking Mentor, will be joining us to give a ChiWalking demo before the walk. The demo will take about 40 minutes, and then we can try out the ChiWalking principles as we walk through the beautiful Balsam neighborhood. The walk itself will take about 45 minutes, so if you are pressed for time, please feel free to join us at about 10:40 and just come along for the fresh air and exercise. Aimed at senior citizens but open to everyone, we invite you to come learn more about ChiWalking, or to just enjoy the morning with us. Canceled in the event of rain.
On the subject of ChiWalking, Michelle had this to say: "ChiWalking blends walking with t'ai chi. It is a mindful way of walking; it is more efficient and reduces your chances of injury. ChiWalking is a great way to create balance in your life, focus your mind, energize your life and strengthen your core."
This walk is one of a series of monthly walks in the Hendersonville community co-sponsored by and Walk Wise, Drive Smart, ECO and Diamond Brand Outdoors.
