Saturday, March 18th

at Rebelle Studio (2501 W 11th Ave Eugene)
Join 500hr RYT Lila Floyd for an hour long workshop where we will practice balance and stabilizing exercises, as well as some yoga practices to support figure skaters of all levels. This workshop will consist of exercises and yoga stretches, and will close with restorative and calming practices (to help get the most out of your ice time, and chill out those pre testing or competition jitters).
In her youth, Lila spent 3 years ice skating as much as she possibly could (her first group lessons were with the EFSC); and returned to the ice 3 years ago to reclaim the joy of flowing on the ice. She is thrilled to bring her 6 years of experience as a yoga and fitness instructor to support EFSC skaters.
Appropriate for all figure skaters age 8 and above.
Please plan to arrive at least 5 minutes early.
