Strive for Balance, then you shall find Harmony

The Significance of Rider Health and Balance

The well-being of the rider is equally  vital as that of the horse. By enhancing our posture, flexibility, and overall health, we not only improve our own balance but also foster an environment that allows the horse to flourish.

​

A rider's health is essential, as it sharpens focus, cultivates patience, and enhances physical capabilities. Yet, the importance of rider wellness goes beyond these aspects. Riding is a unique partnership where the rider must skillfully direct the horse, necessitating a balanced connection for peak performance. Horses often reflect their rider's emotional and physical states, adapting to any imbalances present.

​

Integrating Somatics with Energy Medicine fosters a deeper, more harmonious bond between rider and horse. Energy practices help riders feel more centered, enhancing focus, alleviating anxiety, and providing energy when necessary. Furthermore, Energy Medicine aids in releasing stress and tension, setting the stage for Somatic work, which then targets postural imbalances by relieving muscle tension.

The Somatic Reflexes in Riders

Recognizing the impact of rider position on the horse is important to enhancing the connection between horse and rider. Somatics addresses many of the key challenges rider's have in their ability to connect with and to follow their horse's movements. It also enhances the rider's understanding of horse's muscle patterns and how to address imbalances through training and groundwork exercises.
