heat yoga blaine



so, the reach camp has been around for a fewyears now and when they started out it was a it was kind of mainly more for thehigh-level skaters to give them some extra push on the things they need towork on but now it's wonderful to see it's opened up to all the way down tobeginner kids. they're getting a little bit of everything. there's some off-iceclasses, there's yoga. there are classrooms stuff

heat yoga blaine, there's on-ice stuff, it it's everythingit's all day long it's great. i think the reach programoffers skaters here a unique opportunity to get input from olympians and reallyexperts and specialists in their field to come in and help tweak some thingsand this year i was amazed to see some

kids who last year were struggling withsome pretty low-level jumps now landing double axles really skating at a higherlevel and really developing at a fantastic rate. one of my main focuseswith the kids this year is trying to get them to think about how they look whenthey're on the ice. everybody thinks about their jumps andspins the elements but one of the biggest things that the judges look atis what do they look like when they're skating are they like to look good or dothey look ugly on the ice and so the main focus i've been doing is trying toget them to think about what their postures like there's no better place towork on that in the dance studio in

front of the mirror they can see whatthey look like they can see how they carry themselves i love working with all the kids andseeing them now this year developing their growing they're getting better andbetter and i can see some of the things we worked on last year they've actuallykind of been putting into their skating so it's wonderful to see that. what makesme want to do this. i love giving back to the sport. i hope to- share my experiences with these kids and impart the many years of wisdom thati've gained from it and you know i'd i
