4 class Course starting on the 15th January 2010.

Cost of Course: £38.

This introductory course will focus on the particular needs of horse-riders, using Pilates exercises that will help develop Core strength, good posture and muscle flexibility.

The benefits to you as a rider are clear and obvious, whether your interest is in hacking, eventing, show-jumping, dressage, hunting ...

Pilates can ...

• help you develop a strong, stable core, using the correct mucles to maintain balance and a deep seat in the saddle.
• encourage free and independent movement of the limbs, without disturbing the stable core.
• increase your body awareness, and allow you to relax into the horses movements, so that you and the horse are working together, as one, and not against each other.

With regular practice, you will find you are able to ride for longer, in greater comfort and with more focus. Your increased confidence and self-awareness will, of course, be shared with your horse, thus enhancing the horse-rider relationship and improving the horseriding experience for both of you.

Pilates really does translate well into the saddle!
