It’s time to evaluate the people, places & things you invest your time, money & energy in.  We’re making a list of all the ways you invest in yourself.  Grab a pen & paper. 

We'll start with a 5-minute warm up routine to work on our knee bend, posture, speed & balance. Then, we'll launch into all of our single jumps from a waltz jump to a lutz jump.

I’m sharing about how maturing and becoming more self-aware changed my view of competition.

Why do we wear our need to always be busy like a badge of honor?  Today, we’re chatting about how giving 100% of yourself to put others before yourself is exhausting you.  I share the steps I took to build myself back up after feeling extremely burnout.

Let’s practice the entry positions for a Fast-Back Scratch Spin, a Camel-Spin & more. We’re breaking down the key positions you need to hit to have centered, well-balanced & fast spins.

What is the worst thing that could happen to you if people saw you skate? NEWSFLASH!! People aren’t watching you skate. They’re focused on practicing their own skating skills, while you stay scared in the corner.

Today, we’re chatting about practicing forward inside and outside edge spirals. This is going to be a little bit of a shorter post than I usually write because spirals are not my favorite element to practice when I’m on my own. Keep reading for three quick changes you can make on your spirals to look more polished at any skill level.

Coach Ashleigh will help you maximize your time on the ice, create connections with other skaters & tap into the competitive mindset bubbling up inside you. Let’s dive deep into a new semi-private, figure skating program, SKATE FULL OUT!!

Over many decades on the ice, I’ve learned the best way to have a great (as close to perfect) practice session starts with your warm-up routine.

Learn tips to help you perfect your single loop jump and double jump. I love offering up coaching tips and advice for adult figure skaters who want to keep progressing through the various skating levels and master their skating skills, jumps, and spins.

This is an essential element for all figure skaters to learn as they begin moving across the ice with more speed and power. Backwards Crossovers will be your entry for most every jump and spin.

The one thing I remember while looking at the photos I received from my parents on my birthday, is how full my life was outside of skating, outside the rink.

I realized how grateful I am for having something (figure skating) & somewhere (the rink) to turn to in my life. Skating has always been the consistent & most stable thing I could call my own. 

I don’t usually post personal pictures or long stories about my childhood. I share stories as it relates to my skating journey, especially if the outcome could help give my skaters perspective or shift their mindset.

You’ll have the opportunity to build on skating skills you already know and learn new skills at your own pace.  When you add private lessons to your weekly practice routine, your skating skills dramatically improve.
