like.

MEET CONSTANZA LISDERO Constanza Lisdero, PhD., is Argentinian by birth, Italian by family, American by marriage and currently resides in Basel, Switzerland with her husband and three children. She has been a ChiRunning/ChiWalking Instructor since 2016 and became a Master Instructor in 2021. Constanza is a lifelong athlete. Running was her typical warmup for sports like rock climbing and biking, and helped her stay in shape for sailing and competitive swimming. It was not until she was 41 that she found ChiRunning. Always struggling with running more than 30 minutes, she sought out to intentionally learn how to make running easier on her body. She attended a workshop taught by Vince Vacarro and in her words, “The rest is history.” Her newfound comfort with running allowed her to add triathlon to her athletic resume. Once certified, she started her business Run With Constanza to serve beginning runners who wanted to run their first half marathon. She facilitated regular running groups and was teaching over 100 clients per year. Her passion is teaching and spreading the word about ChiRunning/ChiWalking. She knows that if she could learn it, anyone

can.

Constanza is an analytical thinker, research and data driven and multilingual, speaking Spanish, English, Italian and German. Her well rounded skills and location in Europe provides a new presence to our Regions, Instructors, runners and walkers across the Atlantic and in

South America.

Constanza’s hopes and goals for being an owner of ChiLiving are to get as many people as possible to experience effortless movement. She believes everybody should learn how to move the way our body is designed. It is important to her to make the technique as accessible as possible because in her words, “ChiRunning and ChiWalking are the perfect combination of being an aerobic exercise and moving

meditation.”

MEET LISA POZZONI

Lisa Pozzoni, is a first generation Italian American born in Massachusetts. Raised bilingual, Lisa attended 5th-8th grade in Italy. Lisa received her B.A. in Spanish from Arizona State University and continues to live in Arizona. Lisa has been a ChiRunning/ChiWalking Instructor since 2010 and became a Master Instructor in 2014. Lisa worked in corporate for over 12 years, working her way up to Assistant VP and managing up to 100 people. She left her career in 2005 and focused on her personal health and wellness. She lost 40 lbs and 16% body weight, which she still considers one of the most significant accomplishments of her life. Lisa did not start running until she was 38 years old, and learned ChiRunning/ChiWalking right from the start. She has since assisted Danny more than any other instructor, including 6 retreats at Kripalu. Once certified, Lisa started The Running University, to help women who wanted to start running learn how to do it efficiently and without injury. As her personal practice grew to regularly include Ultra Marathons, Lisa’s TRU Tribe followed suit and her focus turned to training novice runners for ultras. She is passionate about helping women cross finish lines they never thought were possible and supporting them through a robust community both online and in person. Lisa used her people skills and passion for health and wellness to support her local community over the years as well. She grew the biggest team and raised the most money for the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk, she walked 100 miles in 2012 for Marriage Equality, she was a Committee Member for Hike for the Homeless, and a Board Member for Girls On The Run. She is also an avid member of ToastMasters, at the distinguished level. Lisa’s ultimate goal is for people to make fitness a part of their lifestyle. She knows ChiWalking and ChiRunning are a great way to do this and believes that creating a community to support each individual’s effort is crucial to success. The vision of creating a global community of ChiWakers and ChiRunners is one of her biggest

dreams.
