Learn to Know What You Are Doing, So You Can Do What You Want
Feldenkrais lessons allow you to become more and more sensitive to how you move. For a rider, the Feldenkrais Method offers a way to know exactly what you are saying to your horse when you ride. How many times have you been frustrated, knowing what you want from your horse, but unable to get your point across? Your horse is sensitive to every physical cue you give, even the cues you give unintentionally. With the Feldenkrais Method, you will gain awareness of how you move, down to the slightest movement of you seat bone. Feldenkrais Lessons for riders can be given on or off the horse. To begin, a rider usually has a number of lessons while lying on the floor and while sitting. The rider is led through a series of easy, pleasant movements designed to heighten awareness of the ways the rider moves. From the first lesson, riders enjoy the feeling of more definite and more controlled movement. The movements learned in the lessons can be practiced at home, and on the horse.
