About
Mimi Wacholder, Founder
After 30 years of coaching figure skating, Mimi founded SOS™ as a way to give more skaters and coaches access to the tools and techniques she has gathered throughout her career.
As a US Team Member and International Competitive Ice Dancer, she was known for her authenticity as a performer. After retiring from competition, she was a principal performer in the Ice Capades and performed and choreographed with the Ice Theatre of NY. She has a BFA in Creative Communications from Emerson College and is a RYT/Structural Yoga Therapist (mimyoga.com) who works with many Olympic Teams in her hometown of Lake Placid, NY.
With extensive knowledge, practice and teaching in complementary disciplines including, yoga, barre, pilates and dance, Mimi is able to guide her students to better understand the structure and functional capacity of their own bodies.

“Mimi is a bright light: articulate, insightful, humble and compassionate.”

What is System of Skating™?
SOS™ is my gift and passion. It has been a natural progression--for decades my adult students have told me I need to write a book. Since I love personal connection, and seeing the sparks fly—SOS is my gift and vision to reach more adults so they can skate with ease, flow, and understanding. I am bringing three decades of knowledge, information amassed from lessons with many of the legends in figure skating, and countless hours of experience seeing what works specifically for adults directly to you through this streamlined system.
