Carol and Lesley, the co-founders of BALANCE have found the Feldenkrais Method® to be immensely helpful for riders and riding instructors.
All too often, riders are aware of certain postures and movement habits that are getting in the way of their effectiveness and balance, but do not know how to change. Riding instructors can often have a good eye for identifying patterns of crookedness and distortion through the rider, but often don't have the 'tools' or the vocabulary to be able to help their students to change.
The Feldenkrais Method® get's to the roots of these issues and creates an environment in which unhelpful habits are not just identified, but are then replaced by more helpful habits. This is not accomplished by huge muscular efforts and "going for the burn". Rather the process is usually a gentle and progressive shift that re-programmes the central nervous system into the kind of dynamic 'blue print' we were born with. When our brains begin to remember how to allow our bodies to move with the innocence and inhibition of a small child, many positive changes can happen within the way we live in, and use our bodies.
Whether simply for the improvement and maintenance of your day to day mobility, or because of a desire to increase your riding/teaching skills, the Feldenkrais Method® has much to commend it. If you haven't heard of it before, or don't have access to a good Feldenkrais teacher.
