Here’s what makes this different

This is the off-ice side of The SkateSmart Somatic Method™ to improve your figure skating technique: a calm, detailed way of training where you build deep control in your core and in the rotational patterns behind almost every skating element. The kind of control that lets you sense a correct position and hold it. You build the feeling on the floor, then carry it onto the ice.

Here’s who you’re learning from

Maja Luther

Maja Luther is the founder of Digital Skating School and the coach behind The SkateSmart Somatic Method™. She performed as a principal across 40 countries, and over the last 10 years has coached adult skaters and Olympic athletes to sharpen their skating skills and movement execution.

She completed her Masters Degree from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance with Distinction and is bringing her studies into all of her coaching and choreographing work. She co-founded the Contemporary Skating Alliance and holds workshops across Europe and the US.

Here’s what you’ll learn

The course is built as five modules, each just under an hour, with enough in them to keep you progressing for a couple of months. Each session moves through six sections that build on one another, and the modules build on each other too, so your understanding deepens as you go. The aim is simple: a strong base for your edges and your positions.

2Tell correct from slightly offso you can self-correct on the spot.
3Build deep stabilitythrough core control and the rotational patterns that almost every element relies on.
