STEP 7-9? Treat yourself to a carving clinic!
These sessions will provide detailed focused training on how to carve your skis at will in any conditions. Written material will be given to you in advance of the clinics with opportunity to ask questions in advance.
Sessions will be run with emphasis on safety, comfort, and fun. The skill of focusing on balancing on the outside ski and gliding on a clean knife edge with no skidding will be the main goal.
Training will be adjusted to each individual to suit your level of skill and allow for your own progression. Please contact Ron Sabourin (416) 258-5858 for more details.

STEP 6-8: Ski with Mindfulness!
Would you like to feel more comfortable and relaxed on the terrain you ski on? Mindfulness emphasizes paying attention to the present moment, and noticing what is happening with your thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and external environment. Research suggests that it is effective for stress and anxiety.
In this clinic led by Peg McPhedran, HPSC ski instructor, and yoga and meditation teacher, you will develop not only ski technique, but also the breathing and relaxation techniques that will support you in reducing anxiety and increasing your skiing enjoyment.
Dates: Mon. Jan. 27, Wed. Feb. 26, Mon. Mar. 10
