Pilates for Riders – Unlocking Your Full Potential in the Saddle
Would you like to improve your riding?
Does your riding instructor give you the same correction every session?
Is there a particular area of your riding that you would like to develop?
Do you want to feel more balanced, stable, and effective in the saddle?
Just like your horse needs time to build strength, balance, and coordination, so do you! A well-conditioned, body-aware rider is better able to communicate clearly with their horse, absorb movement, and stay balanced in the saddle.
Join us for this interactive workshop where we focus on:
Improving your posture, alignment, and suppleness to create a more
independent seat
Enhancing stability and stamina to ride with greater control and ease Troubleshooting common rider imbalances that may be holding you back Understanding how Pilates can help you develop symmetry and precision in your riding
Using targeted Pilates exercises both on and off the mat, you will gain the tools to strengthen your position, improve your aids, and ultimately get more out of your riding lessons. Whether you’re an experienced competitor or a weekend rider, this workshop will give you insights and techniques to refine your riding from the inside out.
Suitable for riders of all levels—no prior Pilates experience necessary Spaces are limited – book now to secure your spot and take your riding to the next level!

SPINEFITTER® by SISSEL® Certified Instructor Workshop
This SPINEFITTER by SISSEL® Professional Workshop is designed for therapists and trains who want to integrate the SPINEFITTER into their therapy or personal training. The basis of this workshop is anatomical correlations and the basic principles of the SPINEFITTER together with indication-related exercise programmes.
This gives you the opportunity to adapt your therapy/training programme to your individual needs and to integrate the SPINEFITTER according to the indication. Do you want to know, for example, which exercises and at what intensity are suitable for a shoulder problem or lower back pain? Then this workshop is just right for you.
Let yourself be inspired by the effectiveness of the SPINEFITTER and look forward to a lot of professional knowledge about spinal health!
