What we lead with

Sally often reminded us that it's important to keep the learning fresh, and also that we can't do everything perfectly, and even if we could, we have to let that go, too.  And over the years I've found that it's easier to go with the flow and delve into what is on my plate.  

Just yesterday I found a new (to me anyway!) presentation/juxtaposition of some Alexander information.  This is from A Way of Doing Things: Exploring and Applying the Alexander Technique for Choral Conductors, by Jeshua Switzer Franklin, which is his dissertation.  Read the words, and remember the tiger!  When you walk, when you ride, as you sit, as you groom and tack up, flash on the tiger.  Remember the tiger.    (Although ... maybe forget the hunter eyes!  You want soft eyes!) (That's another tidbit.)

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!

"The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities."
