Cothi Valley Equestrian Pilates

These classes will give you the tools you need to become more aware of your body when you ride your horse. The programme will help you to improve your alignment, stability, symmetry, mobility, breathing, and force absorption.

 A full intrinsic biomechanics screening will identify any restrictions in how your muscles, nerves and joints are working.

Based on the screening results you will be given a personalised exercise programme to continue at home, before a further screen to identify positive changes and a progression of your exercise programme.

 In this workshop series we will explore how your spine moves when you are riding, and work on embodiment of the rider's spine as a way to keep it healthy, strong and vibrant. Franklin balls and bands are used.

 Using the saddle horse we will explore your alignment, breathing and centring, through Equipilates techniques on the saddle.

The franklin method will then provide the tools to bring symmetry, balance, posture and stability to your riding to make the connection between horse and rider more precise.  

This workshop series will explore how your core muscles work when you ride, what the right amount of stability for riding is, and different ways of strengthening your core muscles. Franklin balls & bands are used.
