Primary Control How
is your Tiger? Or Puma...
What have you discovered with your Tiger? I
think of my own kitties jumping up to feed. For me, the moment that
matters is the one in flight, as the cat maintains
attention on the landing spot. Like this one.
I'm finding pictures are really hard to get and find! This

(Some!) Questions you can use for enquiry are:
- When can I easily engage this reflex?
- When do I abandon this reflex? Are there
certain movements/actions/activites? or THOUGHTS?!
- What happens when I have it? When I don't?
- Do I have a preference for which side?
- How much of my body is engaged when I engage this
reflex? Are there areas left 'off line?'
One of the cool things I'm noticing are the spirals that
are engaged. More on that next time!
Here is an awesome video! the full video is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc9CBXYeCAo
Play with it! Let me know how it goes! I'd
love to hear from you.

Are you looking for something more in your riding?
Something that really connects the inside and the outside?
Sometimes a hands on experience can do a lot to clarify
something written.
I've studied horse and human anatomy for twenty five years.
I started with Centered Riding and that is solidly based upon
how bodies work and how brains process information. I
know Alexander, Feldenkrais, Trigger Point, myofascial, Ortho-bionomy,
how to develop resistance training programs, and more recently
I am incorporating concepts from Body-Mind-Centering.
I've done yoga for more than forty years, studied (and used)
the chakra and meridian systems for over twenty.
Sometimes I don't go into theory because in the middle of a
lesson it would detract from the practical learning of how to
ride, but I do clinics where I share this information along
with how to incorporate it into your training program.
And if you really don't mind listening to me yak forever, I
can easily do that during a lesson, too. It's just most
folks want to ride!
