Pilates for the Dressage Rider

Pilates for the Dressage Rider - Janice Dulak, Pilates Instructor & Dressage Rider

Exercises specifically designed to help the Dressage Rider enhance her ability for success in dressage.

While they use different terms, both Pilates and Dressage share an emphasis on the torso, or the "powerhouse", in "Pilates-speak", and achieving core strength, good posture and muscle flexability. The goals of a Pilates program are often identical to what riders try to achive in the saddle in the sport of Dressage.

Pilates for the Dressage Rider has three basic goals:

To give the reader an introduction to Pilates and basic workout to do at home or on the horse

To help the rider understand and gain control over the engagement of her own spine, and

To guide the rider toward using the knowledge gained through the practice of Pilates to help her find new ways to use her body to improve her riding.

The exercizes in this book have been culled from over 500 Pilates exercises and have been specifacally chosen to best suit the needs of the Dressage Rider. Clear photos and detailed instructions clarify each exercise.
