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.

While I was learning the Grand Prix, there was a lot happening off the horse too.

At the time, I was:

✅ Practicing yoga 2x a week
✅ Teaching yoga 1x a week & building Yoga for Riders
✅ Strength training 2-3x a week

I know that schedule sounds like a lot, but I didn’t start there. This was after years of gradually layering in these practices into my life and then making them part of my regular routine.

‼️I was also working full-time at a desk and then driving an hour to the barn to ride.

That made staying consistent with yoga that more important. I was spending a lot of of my day sitting, then getting in the car, then asking my body to ride at a high intensity.

🧘🏼‍♀️ A lot of the classes I was creating were actually the classes I needed too.

If you’re just starting with off horse training, start with once a week. Consistency matters more than quantity.

👉 If you need a place to start, comment CLASS and I’ll send you a link to try a free week of my classes.

Every week I highlight one class to take.

Yoga isn’t about becoming more flexible or learning fancy poses. It’s about understanding your own body.

As riders, we spend so much time thinking about our horses rhythm, suppleness and straightness, but those qualities begin with us.

Yoga develops body awareness. It helps you recognize movement patterns, improve your alignment and become aware of the asymmetry that influence both you and your horse.

And also teaches you how to regulate your nervous system. It helps you become less reactive and more present. These are very important qualities to have in and out of the saddle.

If you’re curious about where to start, my online library is designed specifically for equestrians.

🎁 Your first week is free.

This clip is from 2021, when I was first learning the Grand Prix canter zig zag. I’m sharing my journey to show you it’s possible.

The exhale at the end says it all.

I am also sharing what I was doing out of the saddle to support my training.

✅ Yoga
✅ Resistance training

Learning to breathe through the movements is definitely easier said than done. But it does help you stay supple, connected and ride with your body instead of against it.

❓Anyone else stop hold their breath when they’re concentrating?

This clip is from 2021, when I was first learning the Grand Prix zig zag. It is its own kind of beast.

Even looking back now I feel the same way. Turns out geometry, spatial awareness and basic math do come in handy in Dressage 🤦🏼‍♀️

My signature Dressage Training Scale Series was built the same year. It teaches you how to integrate yoga into your riding for every step of the scale.
