Upcoming Clinics
Saturday, May 2, 2015 Strength, Balance, and Feel - White Oaks Equestrian Center, Pilot Point, TX 9:00am - 3:00pm Registration $140. Mat to Saddle Alumni $100.
Pilates based mat clinic begins on the mats in the barn at 9:30. After lunch we’ll saddle up and ride practicing core activation, breathing, posture, and fluidity. Sometimes the changes are immediately obvious in your horse.
Mat to Saddle Pilates Method was created to help riders associate the principles and benefits of Pilates and develop a better seat. Using strength, balance, and feel, I’ll help you train your body using Pilates-based principles to become more fluid and balanced in your spine and pelvis and understand how to access your core for stability. We will look at the muscles used most while riding and decide if you are bracing (not efficient) or fluid and strong (very efficient). Your horse will be more relaxed and balanced when you are helping and not blocking their movement. Mat to Saddle is structured to make big differences in your body by focusing on the nuances of balance and intrinsic muscle activation. Whether you practice Pilates or not you will benefit from the experience. All fitness levels and riding disciplines are welcome.
