Siamo contente di presentare le insegnanti che prenderanno parte al primo symposium femminile italiano di kayak "Il sorriso del mare": sono quattro tra le migliori insegnanti donne di kayak da mare a livello europeo e mondiale e le introduciamo una alla volta con un doppio testo inglese-italiano.
Jannie Heegaard
I have been seakayaking for 18 years and have been working as a seakayak coach since 2004.
I prefer seakayaking and open canoeing, and have been flirting with freestyle canoing as well - if you don’t know what it is please google it :-)
I’m a Danish level 3 coach, a BCU 4 star and have a Norwegian open canoe coach degree in riverpadling and work with instructor levels 1 – 3, and EPP 1-3.
I was the first female level 3 coach in Denmark and 8 years ago I started a women’s symposium in Denmark, and have been involved with the Artic Womens Playground Symposium, a women’s symposium in Northern Norway, for the last four years as well.
I mostly coach in Denmark and Norway and work both as an assessor, coach and trainer.
During the past 10 years I have been working freelance for the Danish Canoe Federation and have been involved in a lot of other educational projects, organizing symposiums and have closely involved in implementing the EPP system in Denmark and developing the new coach system.
My educational background is in sports science, outdoor activities and a masterdegree in general education. I currently work as a counselor for vulnerable youth and also teach both yoga and pilates.
I love my greenland paddles, love greenland rolling and have held a great number of rolling sessions.
I also love to make funny, creative workshops focused on good solid paddling technique and paddling with less power and paddling more efficiently.
In recent years I have been working with ex. kayakballet, inspiring people to dance with their kayak – inspired by freestyle canoeing – that claims to make lazy perfectionists out of everybody. In relation to this I like to make people do really funny paddling strokes in order to make their brains go crazy and to make them laugh a lot – and hopefully learn new things about themselves and their own personal Body-Boat-Blade (Stick).
I also work with the mental side of paddling especially with female paddlers and I’m currently working on a ‘yoga with a stick’ workshop… simply because I love yoga… and love my greenland paddle.
Last year I’ve become very interested in traditional kayakbuilding and so far I have build a southgreenland qajaq and iqyax, both with Anders Thygesen, Kajakkspesialisten Norway, and I hope to build a rollingqajaq during this winter as well. Skills in this takes so many years to get, so I feel enormously humble to the work Anders and other builders does and all the inuit people who have lived and hunted in Qajaqs like this so many years ago.

Ho iniziato a pagaiare 18 anni fa e ad insegnare nel 2004.
Preferisco il kayak da mare e la canoa canadese ma sono anche molto interessata alla canoa freestyle - se non sapete cos'è, cercate su google “freestyle canoeing” :-)
Sono una insegnante danese di terzo livello, ho un brevetto BCU 4 stelle e un titolo norvedese per la canoa canadese in fiume. Lavoro come insegnante di livello 1-3 anche per il sistema EPP 1-3, sia in Danimarca che in Norvegia e rivesto i vari ruoli di assessor, coach e trainer.
Sono stata la prima donna danese a diventare un insegnante di terzo livello e 8 anni fa ho dato vita al symposium danese di donne in kayak. Sono stata anche coinvolta in tutte le edizioni del symposium femminile norvegese Arctic Womend Playground che si svolge da quattro anni a Tromso, nella Norvegia settentrionale.
Negli ultimi 10 anni ho lavorato come insegnante freelance per la federazione danese di canoa e ho preso parte in molti programmi educativi, nell’organizzazione di symposiums e nella promozione del sistema europeo EPP come referente per la Danimarca nello sviluppo dei nuovi programmi didattici.
Sono laureata in scienze dello sport ed in “outdoor activities” e ho conseguito un master in “general education”. Lavoro come consulente di adolescenti a rischio, oltre ad insegnare yoga e pilates.
Adoro la mia pagaia groenlandese e amo il “greenland rolling”.
Ho tenuto molte sessioni di rolling groenlandese e mi piace offrire lezioni divertenti e creative incentrate su buone tecniche di pagaiata ma anche su come pagaiare in maniera più efficiente e con minore sforzo.
Negli ultimi anni ho sviluppato delle lezioni di “kayak ballet” per incoraggiare le persone a danzare con i propri kayak: ho tratto ispirazione dalla canoa freestyle e vorrei stimolare le persone a tirar fuori la propria anima perfezionista (per quanto possa essere pigra o indolente). Per questo cerco di proporre delle manovre molto divertenti per mandare il cervello in corto circuito e costringere tutti a ridere tanto – con la speranza che si possano così imparare cose nuove sul proprio corpo, sulla propria barca e sulla propria pagaia (groenlandese).
Mi piace anche molto lavorare sugli aspetti psicologici della pagaiata, specialmente con le donne, e sono da tempo interessata a proporre corsi di “yoga con la pagaia groenlandese”: semplicemente perché amo lo yoga… e amo la mia pagaia groenlandese.
L’anno scorso ho iniziato ad interessarmi alla costruzione di kayak tradizionali groenlandesi e ho costruito un qajaq ed un iqyax tradizionale della Groenlandia meridionale, entrambi con Anders Thygesen di “Kayakkspecialisten Norway”. Spero di costruire anche un qajaq da rolling durante l’inverno. Per perfezionare la tecnica di costruzione occorrono anni ed io mi pongo in maniera estremamente umile rispetto al lavoro di Anders, degli altri costruttori e di tutti gli Inuit che hanno vissuto e cacciato in questo tipo di qajaq così tanti anni addietro…
