Rider specific reformer Pilates
Reformer pilates has many benefits for riders. A 1-1 session with Freya allows you to work on your own goals and move at your own pace. Expect to develop a greater mind-body connection that will help you to identify your own imbalances, where you are holding tension and how that is affecting the way you ride. Better body awareness will allow you to work specifically on your weaknesses and highlight how you may be affecting your horse’s way of going.
Reformer pilates is a great way to improve your posture and alignment. It’s common to be unaware of these inefficiencies, reformer pilates will enable you to identify and work on these which will make a significant difference to your riding. Other benefits of reformer for riders include, but certainly aren’t limited to; co-ordination, increased strength and flexibility, stability of your seat, balance and core connection.
Introductory offer of £40 for 1-1 clients, £70 for paired sessions. If you have a group in mind, we can look to accommodate this.
About Freya
I am a dressage rider who has enjoyed competing up to Advanced Medium level, I also have a great interest in producing young horses.
Despite being super competitive, last year I decided to take a step back from competing, instead focusing on how my riding affects the horses way of going. At this point I had started reformer pilates and loved it. Although I was often being humbled by my imbalances, I found it opened my eyes to how crucial it is to have a well-rounded skill set in order for me to be at my best, and have a positive effect on my horse.
