Completely coordinate mind, body and spirit to achieve the natural inner rhythm between horse and rider.
Pilates for The Equestrian Workshop
Common Problems
- Frustrated that your horse won’t respond properly to your cues.
- Having trouble maintaining a stable seat.
- Feeling pain and fatigue during and after a ride.
Imbalances develop over time, based on physiology, posture and lifestyle. How you move when not riding, for example, other types of exercise and or the amount (and quality) of sitting you do at work, directly affects how you function on a horse. Resulting asymmetries greatly affect movement and alignment, resulting in impediments like:
- Rounded shoulders and forward head
- Tightness and exaggerated curvature of the lower back
- Tight hip flexors and quadriceps
Why Pilates?
Pilates exercises increase your body awareness, and improve flexibility, balance and strength in order to facilitate an optimal riding experience. Pilates helps equestrians:
- Lengthen the spine and strengthen the core, which stabilizes the body in movement
- Sculpt a stronger body with increased flexibility, strength, and balance
- Strengthen the "core", which includes all abdominals, back extensors, glutes and inner thighs
- Increase range of motion in hips
- Improve leg position and posture
