Lindsay's book, launched Sept 2010

Equipilates™ workshops are based around the concepts and principles explored in Lindsay's book 'Pilates for Riders- Align your spine and control your core for a perfect position', published September 2010, though Lindsay will adapt the course around the particular requirements of the individuals within the group.

THESE WORKSHOPS CAN BE DELIVERED AT YOUR YARD!  PACKED FULL OF PRACTICAL TIPS & USEFUL EXERCISES,  THIS COURSE WILL DEFINITELY INSPIRE & IMPROVE YOUR RIDING!

HALF DAY TRINITY OF INFINITY WORKSHOP- MINIMUM 5, MAXIMUM 8 PARTICIPANTS This workshop will provide you with an in depth insight into how your can become a better rider and the techniques and tools to achieve better awareness, flexibility, functional strength (the sort of strength useful for riding), and balance. You will work through the Trinity for Infinity series as detailed in ‘Pilates for Riders- Align your spine and control your core for a perfect position’- Alignment, Breathing and Centring. These principles are your riding ‘ABC’ and establishing good patterns and positive habits in these areas are key to developing an elegant, and effective, position. £50 per person including refreshments (at The Dressage Studio), £55 per person elsewhere- you will need to provide your own refreshments.  Included is a free piece of small equipment so you can put into practice at home what you have learned!
