THE PROGRAM: DESIGN & BENEFITS

• EXCLUSIVE/PERSONALIZED - Limited to six women participants, two highly skilled female ski instructors and Margaret, this format becomes almost like a private lesson but with the added benefit of being part of a small group of motivated women.

• WELCOME EVENT - A very important component of the program, to meet each other and the ski instructors and to set personal goals the prior evening, in an informal atmosphere.

• 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!!

• ONE ON ONE - Time with program creator Margaret – each participant will receive a “hands on” individual session with Margaret to address, more specifically, any issue that is relevant to them, be it ski related, postural, recovering from an injury and more.

• EFFECTIVE - Easily change old habits and become the skier you dream to be!!! This program creates learning that lasts, and gives you more confidence as you feel and understand how your whole body and mind is involved in the art of skiing.

• SUPPORTIVE - Not competitive!! Women only, and great instruction indoor and out - reap the benefits of learning and having fun in a small supportive group of women and celebrate. Lunch together as a group every day on the mountain in a pleasing location.

WOMEN ARE SAYING:

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
