Equestrians, When you are relaxed you are the best version of yourself.
I don’t mean sleepy relaxed. I mean balanced. Centered, focused and adaptable to the situation.
When you’re relaxed are you the best version of yourself?
Hey Equestrians,
If you only do one yoga pose this weekend make it Ardha Chandrasana, Half Moon.
Benefits:
🐴Coordination
🐴Strengthens core and legs
🐴Develops balance and control
🥇Hold for 3-7 breaths as comfort allows.

⚕️As always, check with your Dr. before practicing yoga.
⚕️If a pose or practice doesn’t feel good, don’t keep doing it.

With The Missing Piece Membership you choose the Pathway that suits you, today.
The Chair Yoga Pathway leads you through complete practices from the comfort of your seat, and occasionally standing.

So if you’re:
At work
Managing a lower body injury
Want to try something different
Like to stay grounded
Don’t want to/can’t get on the floor
TRY THE CHAIR YOGA PATHWAY today on the Missing Piece Membership.

How would your barn time be different if you weren’t stressed?
Hey Equestrians, Do you have this common issue?
Your outside leg rides up as you bend your horse?
It’s confusing to the horse, interferes impulsion, and gets you off your center.
The good news: this is something you can train to stop doing.
Your position is changeable once you know how.
Practiced this on the ground:
Wide legs.
Toes are pointing up.
Back of your heel is pressing down.
Reach through the ball of your foot.
Maintain + keep sitting bones grounded as you rotate to a twist.
August 14 Happy Global Yoga Therapy Day!
Yoga therapy for questions is not therapeutic riding.
It’s not simply flexibility, mental health or injury prevention.
It’s so much more.
Yoga therapy works with your whole system: physical, energetic, emotional, inner wisdom, & innate deep seated joy.
What other therapy or program do you know that is so well-rounded?
Yoga therapy one-on-one sessions help you ride & feel your best while bringing these deeper layers of yourself to the forefront through your body, own intuition and connection with your horse.
