Hi, my name is Natalya Khazova, I am US National and International coach and choreographer, and I coach figure skaters at the Broadmoor World Arena Ice Hall in Colorado Springs, Colorado for over 25 years.
One day I was going through my notes that I collected during my 35 year coaching career and I thought they may be helpful to skaters and coaches if I organized all my exercises into practice videos.
I will try to release something new and useful every week, and with time I plan to cover all areas of skating, such as skating skills, moves in the field, spins, and jump exercises, as well as off ice training, which will include exercises for balance, coordination, quickness, flexibility, strength and conditioning.
Many of my videos have a detailed explanation on my website:

Transform Your Skating: Chasse with Different Turns Tutorial (1)
I’m using your videos to help me get back on my junior/pre-gold skating skills after a four year break! I just learned three of your Choctaw exercises after getting stuck on the test pattern. Learning smaller patterns is more achievable and is keeping me motivated. 🎉 People at the rink are asking me what I am working on 😊
That’s amazing! I’m so happy to hear that the smaller patterns are helping you get back into your junior/pre-gold skating skills! 🎉 It’s great that you’re feeling motivated again, and it’s always awesome when others at the rink notice your progress! Keep up the fantastic work, and I’m sure you’ll be back to mastering those test patterns in no time! 😊⛸️
I find that I’m absolutely terrible at power pulls. Do you have some off ice exercises to become used to the motion and to strengthen your legs ?
Power pulls can be tricky, but you're right-they're all about the twist and bend motion! Off the ice, you can try practicing twists on a spinner to get used to the motion. If you'd like, send me a video of your power pulls, and I can review it on my channel to give you personalized tips to help you improve! Keep working on it-you'll get there! 😊
@@styleskating35 that’s a great idea, thanks! I don’t have any videos because most rinks are still closed until the end of the month but I will keep practicing off ice!! Thank you :)
This video is very useful! I like that you show the key positions to hit for each exercise in slow motion♥
I'm so glad you found it useful! Showing the key positions in slow motion really helps to understand the details, and I'm thrilled it's helping you improve. Keep practicing and enjoy your progress on the ice! ❤️⛸️
Wauu, good tips for all <3
Thank you! I'm glad you found the tips helpful! Keep pushing your limits and enjoy the progress ❤️😊.

I’m working on these. I find them a little more consistent from a double FI3 turn rather than straight into the BO edge, though.
It's great to hear you're working on these! Keep practicing and you'll see improvement in no time. Great job and keep up the hard work! ⛸️😊

Forward inside bracket, BO counter, forward cross roll, cross behind 8. Forward inside chocktaw, chocktaw back to forward, forward inside counter 9. Backward inside twizzles 10. Backward inside loop

@@styleskating35 , thank you so much ❤
When you say stroking forward (Shallow edges with some flats ok--by flats do you mean that the skating leg should be on an edge?and which edge should it be on? Some say flat and or outside edge
The main focus during forward stroking should be on the push with the inside edge without using the toe pick. After the push, you will be gliding on a flat, using both edges. It is possible to shift slightly to a flat outside edge, depending on how far to the side you shifted your weight with the push. Keep practicing to find the balance that works best for you!
@styleskating35 very interesting...thank you very mivh much
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found it interesting. Keep practicing and happy skating! 😊⛸️
These exercises are incredible. They helped me completely in my work for double Axel and finally on the first try with these videos I managed 2 laps🙌 😍
That's amazing! I'm thrilled to hear that the exercises helped you achieve your double Axel. Congratulations on managing 2 laps on your first try! Keep up the fantastic work! 🙌😍⛸️
This is perfect, thank you <3
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Thank you for your support. Keep up the great work and happy skating! 😊⛸️❤️
Hi! Great video with a lot of exercises. How many repetitions and/or series should we do for an optimal workout?
It depends on your age and physical ability. With my kids, I typically do 8-10 exercises with 20 repetitions each. You can start with 2-3 sets of 10 repetitions for each exercise and see how you feel. Adjust as needed based on your progress and comfort level. Keep up the great work! 😊⛸️
This is a very good tutorial video. Thank you
Thank you! I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful. Keep practicing and enjoy your skating journey! 😊⛸️

Thank you for the video!! 😊
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😊 Keep practicing and happy skating! ⛸️
Thank you for all the useful information. Would you be able to breakdown rolling 3 turns in the context of spin and jump entrances. I often have issues checking the hips and end up either spinning or twizzling. The free leg also tends to go wild. Thanks.
Yes, I will definitely add this to my future videos list. These are all very typical mistakes and concerns, and I will be happy to help you fix them. Stay tuned for more detailed explanations and tips!
More of those, please!!!
Thank you for your enthusiasm! I'll definitely work on creating more videos like this. Stay tuned for more content! 😊⛸️
For the exercise starting at 2:34, I have the hardest time only using the under push without lifting the outside foot, even though I think I am now beginning to have a good under push with the regular crossovers. If possible, would you be able to comment about where the weight is and how you can get pushes purely using the under push, without lifting the outside leg? Do I need more lean, or turning into the circle more, or more bend perhaps, or the pushing leg needs to push at a precise angle to make it work right? I was told to try this exercise in a power stroking class, but it felt like I did not manage the positioning and weight shifting (and am unsure of where or how it should be done) to get a strong push without it feeling awkward, or having it push at all. It's strange that it feels like it works with normal crossovers, but then trying to analyze it to only under push doesn't work.
You are absolutely right, this exercise with just the under push without lifting your free leg from the ice is extremely difficult, and I admire you for even trying it. To be able to help you better, please send me a video of you doing this exercise to my email, which you can find on my website. I will use your example for a new detailed video with explanations. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing your progress!
Thank you!
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Keep practicing and happy skating! 😊⛸️
