Description

Skate skiing is a thrilling winter sport that combines the fluid motion of cross-country skiing with the graceful movements of ice skating. It's a great way to get outside and enjoy the winter weather while getting a full-body workout. Skate skiing also incorporates the fundamentals of yoga, making it an excellent activity for both physical and mental health. One of the benefits of skate skiing is that it's a low-impact exercise that's easy on the joints. It's a great way to improve cardiovascular fitness and build strength, particularly in the legs, core, and upper body. Skate skiing is also a great way to get outside and enjoy nature. In addition to providing physical benefits, skate skiing can also improve mental health. The focus required for skate skiing can be meditative, similar to yoga.

About the Instructor:
Hello, my name is Mila “Mamma Mila” Shelehoff. I am an educator and an entrepreneur. I was born in Ukraine, and after moving to Chicago to complete my architectural studies, I pursued a career in hospitality design. In 2020, I left the corporate world of hospitality to pursue my dream of raising my son in the great outdoors of Oregon and becoming an arts and outdoor educator. I now live in Bend, OR, with my ten-year-old son, Lukian, and my blue heeler, Woofee. I teach arts, alpine and Nordic skiing, stand up paddleboarding, and river safety. Community engagement collaboration is vitally important in my work: these practices demonstrate people’s ability to come together and advocate on their behalf. I believe in education as the cornerstone of a better future. Today, I continue to seek educational opportunities that allow me to build upon my vision. My work is the vehicle that helps me achieve my life goals. Thank you for the privilege to share my passions with you.

Sincerely,
Mila Shelehoff

Additional Information

Thank you for participating in our online auction! All proceeds benefit the Namaspa Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation focused on bringing health and mindfulness practices to those in our society who can benefit from them most, yet who may currently have the least access. Donations help to provide classes in Central Oregon homeless shelters, drug and alcohol rehab facilities, retirement homes, schools and even the local Sheriff's Jail and prison. Please bid generously to help us in empowering individuals in these classes to gain life skills and realize their full potential.

All items are to be picked up from the Namaspa Bend location, 1135 NW Galveston. We will be in contact after the auction with times available for pickup. 

If an item needs to be shipped then the buyer will pay shipping & packaging costs PLUS a $10 service fee (per shipment, which could include several items, within reason). Please note: we are not Amazon or other businesses that ship products as their business. We are a small, local yoga studio. Packing and shipping your item is over and above our daily tasks and would be prohibitively expensive if we had the local Pack & Ship place do it (we checked). If you have a local friend who can pick up your item and ship it to you, that may be more cost effective for you.
