    That is an absolute NO. If you want to learn, you need to learn from a qualified instructor. If you attempt to teach yourself, you will not only be a safety hazard to yourself and other people, not to mention that you will develop nothing but bad habits.

"I do want to spin correctly" "learn from Youtube videos" These two DO NOT go together. EVER. You cannot spin correctly using Youtube to learn. Get a coach.

DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR YOUTUBE TO TEACH YOU. especially if you plan to go back to axels and beyond. My friend did that and sprained her knee

Nope, plus if you want ice time where it is not public skate you will have to get a coach anyway - in Canada. If you try going during public skating you might not be allowed to do figure skating or might be a hazard to other people.
