Ride with greater comfort, balance and ease.
Reduce stiffness and pain, improve mobility and balance and develop better body awareness with equestrian yoga(with a twist) and somatic movement designed specifically for riders.
Long hours in the saddle, everyday life and repetitive movement can leave riders feeling stiff, unbalanced or uncomfortable. Tight hips, lower back pain, restricted shoulders and poor posture can all affect your comfort and influence how effectively you communicate with your horse.
Improving your own movement isn't about becoming more flexible for the sake of it—it's about creating a body that can move with your horse rather than against them.
Communicate with softer, more refined aids while improving your connection and performance with your horse.
My Rider Comfort approach combines Equestrian Yoga, somatic movement, nervous system work and posture awareness to help you move more freely, improve balance and build a more comfortable seat. That is why I call it “Equestrian Yoga with a twist”.
As an Occupational Therapist and Yoga Teacher, I understand how movement patterns, pain and posture affect everyday function—including riding. Every exercise is practical, rider-focused and adapted to your individual needs. You can do all my Yoga in your riding clothes. Practical and doable anytime anywhere.

FAQ about Equestrian Yoga:
Do I need yoga experience?
No. This yoga for riders is beginner-friendly, and no previous yoga experience is required. Every exercise is explained clearly, and you're encouraged to work at your own pace.
Do I need to be flexible?
No. You work within your own body's limits and gradually improve your flexibility over time with regular practice. The goal isn't to achieve perfect poses—it's to help you move more comfortably and efficiently as a rider.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! Whether you're completely new to yoga or have practised before, the classes are designed to suit all experience levels. Options and modifications are provided so you can work at a level that feels right for you.
Can I do this if I don't currently ride?
Of course! Equestrian Yoga has many benefits, even if you're not currently riding. It can help prepare your body for future rides, improve your mobility and balance, and make everyday tasks around your horse easier and more comfortable.
How is this different from a general yoga class?
Everything is taught in an equestrian context, with a focus on the movements, time limit and challenges riders experience. You'll learn how each exercise can improve your posture, develop a more centred seat, increase hip mobility, strengthen your core, improve body awareness, and support more balanced, effective riding.
