Rider instruction based upon pilates principles of
focus, body awareness, balance, core strength, and flexibility
Articles by Beth: Pilates and Riding series: | Beth offers private lessons, clinics, and seminars that link the skills of pilates to the skills of riding.
In a riding lesson, you will learn to apply the pilates principles of focus, use of breath, postural awareness and support, and supple movement to your riding. You will learn how your horse moves at each gait, and how you should move with it. This improves timing of your aids and responsiveness from the horse. You will learn to use your body in a rational and healthy way to improve balance and harmony with your horse. Fees. In 2009, Beth completed construction of a new barn and covered riding arena. Clients can now haul-in or ride-in for lessons in this 72' X 156' sheltered arena with sand/wood chip footing and a full wall of mirrors for feedback. The arena site provides a quiet and focused atmosphere for your lesson. Beth also travels to your arena to teach; a travel fee may be added to the base fee for a 45min private lesson.
There are extra stalls in the barn if you want to bring your horse and do a pilates session before your ride. This is a great way to maximize the benefits of pilates to your riding. Click here for more RiderPilates retreat options!
