Ease on Skis has been tested and refined in workshops in Switzerland and Austria for skiers at all levels for over 20 years. This book distills these years of practical teaching into a systematic and richly illustrated series of movement explorations. Based on the Alexander Technique, these explorations liberate movement potential that is inherent in our anatomical design.
Our movement potential depends on more than just anatomy: we often brace ourselves in reaction to how we feel. Learning how to face fears without bracing against them is at the heart of skiing excellence, and at the core of the Ease on Skis method: it trains people how to rebuild their courage. What a joy! Anyone can use it to improve their skiing. This book outlines how.
62 movement explorations. Illustrated with 70 line drawings. Index.
Erik Bendix grew up on Panoramic Hill in Berkeley, California. His mother was an artist, his father a prominent sociologist who had fled Nazi Germany as a young man. At the ages of 10, 13 and 14, Erik went to the Ecole d’Humanité, a progressive school high in the Swiss Alps where he began to ski. He later taught at the same school. After studying philosophy at Oxford and Princeton, he moved to the Southern Appalachian Mountains to homestead, design and build a log house, and raise a family. Active through most of his life as a folk dance teacher, he broadened his movement training to include the Alexander Technique and Body-Mind Centering®, both of which he continues to teach in private practice and in workshops worldwide. He is a published poet and a devoted father and grandfather. He lives with his wife in Asheville, North Carolina.
