A few excerpts from my Hip Strength + Stability class this week.

In this practice, we slow things down and work with controlled movements to strengthen the deeper muscles that stabilize the hips and pelvis. This is a great one for joint health too, particularly of the SI joint.

🧘🏼‍♀️This class will challenge your balance, proprioception and will help you with body awareness.

This is the kind of work I love exploring. It helps us really understand our bodies and how it can influence what’s happening in the saddle.

I’ve been practicing and teaching yoga for a long time, and I keep coming back to it again and again.

It has the same quality that dressage has for me. There is always another layer, something else to work on and something new to notice.

Yoga challenges our balance, mobility, proprioception and stability. All things we need in the saddle too.

The poses you see here are a short preview of my next live online class: Hip Strength + Stability.

We’ll slow things down and work the deeper stabilizing muscles around the hips and pelvis, while challenging your balance and body awareness.

Free for members, with drop-in available.

I’ve been a dressage rider for most of my life, and the longer I practice yoga, the more I realize how much the two have in common.

Both are about the details.

Where is my weight? Can I stay stable without being rigid? Can I move with more balance and control? Can I breathe when something gets difficult?

Small adjustments make a big difference.

There is always another layer to discover, whether I’m riding a movement I’ve done hundreds of times or practicing a yoga pose I’ve known for years.

The practice IS the progress. Maybe it isn’t about chasing perfection.

Maybe it’s about the pursuit of excellence and knowing there will always be more to learn.

That’s what I love about both.

Join me next Sunday for my live online Community Practice. We’ll be exploring strength and stability. Free for members or drop in available.

Such a great weekend at Thoren Creek Stables teaching the show team a yoga class followed by a riding lesson.

We talked about show nerves and ways to help calm them, mindfulness in our riding, and then moved through a short yoga practice before getting in the saddle.

It was so much fun teaching the next generation of riders. It brought me right back to my riding school roots and reminded me how much I love this part of what I do.

These clinics are such a great way to learn, have fun and bring the riding community together.

Thank you Thoren Creek Stables for having me! 🤍

Dressage is a lifelong journey. Training a horse takes years. Our own bodies are no different.

The changes are incremental. But they compound over time.

You don’t finish a yoga practice.
You don’t finish dressage training.
You just stop for today, and come back again tomorrow.

The practice has no ending.
That’s the whole point. 🧘

Your core is more than your abs.

We often think of the core as just the muscles at the front of the abdomen, but your core is actually a three-dimensional system that wraps around your entire trunk.

Your obliques run along the sides of your abdomen and help control rotation and side bending. Deeper muscles like the transverse abdominis help stabilize your trunk and pelvis.

Then there’s the quadratus lumborum, or QL, a deeper muscle in the back of the waist. It plays a role in controlling side bending and stabilizing the pelvis and spine.

Together, these muscles help control the relationship between your rib cage and pelvis, particularly when your body is being challenged to move or stabilize laterally.

When you ride, if you tend to collapse through one side of your waist, drop your shoulders or struggle to stay centered, your core and side body are worth paying attention to.

As riders, we need a core that can stabilize us while still allowing us to move with the horse.
