• INDOOR/OUTDOOR LEARNING - A sophisticated and integrated Mind / Body approach using gentle, guided, ski-specific movement awareness, combined with individually-tailored, on-snow coaching. The ski instructors skillfully weave the indoor learning into the on-snow, skiing experience. Gravity becomes your friend not your foe!!

WOMEN ARE SAYING:

Your program has had a profound effect on me in my every day mobility and in my skiing. In general movement everything feels light, effortless and oiled; I’m ready to walk, dance and run with a level of energy and youthfulness that I don’t normally feel. In my skiing Feldenkrais has totally changed my ability to move and respond to the snow and terrain beneath me. I’m quicker on my feet, able to move more nimbly and fluidly, and have my weight better positioned, so skiing feels more like floating than ever. My legs and body don’t ache after a day on the slopes and skiing feels easy and enjoyable, rather than effort and hard work. I have a feeling of exquisite centeredness, where I can recover easily from wobbles and snow snakes, as if nothing could possibly knock me over! —Lynne

An inner focus to learn how you move so that you then can move the way you know - naturally, with comfort and confidence. —Joy

Noticing all of our body parts tunes the complete person. —Patti

After a session of Feldenkrais® with Margaret my body (and mind) feel light, centered and energetic. This has translated into my skiing allowing me to connect with my skis and the mountain confidently and effortlessly - in a way that I have never done before. —Sue

Letting Go • Using my whole body to move effectively • Feeling the snow and the fall of the mountain and letting my body get in the zone. —Rhea

An amazing program that incorporates Feldenkrais movements with skiing. Margaret and her instructors take your skiing and body to a new level for women who want to enjoy skiing and life for a very long time! You share this wonderful mind, body and spirit experience with women full of life and vitality. Margaret, with her soft spoken voice, has created an AAA program that leaves you exhausted and exhilarated at the end of each day. —Carol

I was looking for an opportunity and challenge to increase my skiing efficiency! Margaret’s specialty in “awareness through movement” and the Feldenkrais application to skiing with two top instructors for three days was awesome. Additionally nine new ski friends for life. Yes, outstanding and life changing! —Wendy Evans, California/Vail resident
