If you would like to bring your family for a fun time of kayaking, agua-biking, stand-up paddle boarding, swimming on beautiful Lake Ar

owhead, we would love to have you join us. To make arrangements contact Jack at 310-600-0600 or Jack@rimspecialathletes.org  

Since Covid-19, we began offering remote therapeutic yoga sessions via the Zoom platform. These practices are led by bobiane, a certified therapeutic yoga instructor with Madison and Kim as assistants.

Life is stressful enough, but when the experience of the Covid-19 is added to the mix it can feel unsurmountable and overwhelming. RSA would like to invite the community to our virtual yoga practice. Among other benefits, yoga will help you experience increased energy, improved balance and flexibility, decreased anxiety and depression, better stress management, greater sense of peace and improved overall fitness.

We are offering evening and morning practices each week. Virtual Yoga programming is safe and therapeutic via the Zoom platform. 

If you would like to sign up, you can contact bobiane at 310-963-1856.

For additional virtual Adaptive activities such as: ASL (American Sign Language), exercise classes, line dancing, and gardening go to Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra’s website, www.disabledsportseasternsierra.org.  

WINTER ACTIVITIES

Rim Special Athletes provides various snow-based activities including, sledding, snow-shoeing, cross country skiing, tubbing and winter outings. 

VETERANS WINTER SPORTS CLINIC  

The RSA Veterans Winter Clinic promotes biopsychosocial rehabilitation and sports performance enhancement by integrating the activity of alpine skiing and snowboarding into interventions that physically challenge the body through movement and psychosocially challenge the mind/ body through the building and strengthening of internal positive resources (resiliency). 

Some of the goals we focus on:

• To support biopsychosocial rehabilitation engagement to improve endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance to promote capacity for self-care, enhanced life management, and enhanced sports/leisure engagement.
• To improve HRV baseline by integrating mind and body activities that expand one's window of tolerance.
• To develop, implement, and maintain strategies to allow for enhanced sports-related performance.
• To focus more on the process over the outcome
• To improve ability to cope with stress and pressure.
• To help release identified unhealthy attitudes, such as perfectionism, fear of failure, overinvestment and expectations.
• To identify what may be preventing us from being our "best version" on and off the slopes.
• To identify and verbalize the benefits of prioritizing mental and physical health in all aspects of life.
   

SUMMER ACTIVITIES

In the warm weather, RSA offers a wide range of activities, including water sports (kayaking, paddle boarding, water bike), fishing, biking, hiking and many other outings. Our purpose is “to have the adaptive athletes learn a new skill and, most importantly, develop self-confidence from the experience.”

…and have fun too!

The water sports and other outdoor experiences are centered at Lake Arrowhead and surrounding communities.  There is no cost for the summer activities.
