Balance is the biggest key to riding. Horses feel every move we make when we are astride, and react to every unbalanced move however subtle. Yoga teaches us how to recognize our unbalanced moves and correct them before we get on the horse. With more attuned body awareness we can clearly see where our weight is shifting and understand what our horse is feeling. A balanced confident rider creates a balanced confident horse and a more comfortable ride for both.
