🥵 HOT WEATHER SESSIONS 🥵 I hope you all had a lovely bank holiday and are enjoying the sunshine?! ☀️ if you are anything like me, you probably struggle with the heat and it doesn’t motivate you to work out!

😎 Thankfully my PT Studio stays nice & cool and with lots of fan power; we can maintain a comfortable temperature during your Personal Training sessions.

🏋️‍♂️ In addition to this; I can adjust sessions to reduce the intensity, provide more rest breaks, reposition fans, fill up your water bottles, reduce the duration, focus on mobility, have a more theory based session around nutrition and exercise.

🏃‍♀️ Classes - the same applies to my group sessions! Whilst The Studio does tend to be warmer, we can get some great airflow in the room or move the session outdoors if cooler. I will always adapt sessions to prevent everyone from overheating 🥵

Don’t feel you have to miss your session because of the heat, we can always adapt ☺️

🧠 A fun weekend learning about the joints of the hand and wrist on the Train Your Seat Shoulder Biomechanics Diploma (which covers jaw, shoulder, arm, wrist and hand). We focussed on how these smaller joints influence rein contact, feel and communication with the horse.

🏇 It made such a difference when we embodied the true movement patterns, rather than restricting your natural biomechanics with restrictive cues, that we have all become familiar with.

Lots more training on this diploma, but it’s been great so far and I’m so happy to be finally adding this diploma to my Train Your Seat portfolio 🙌

🚨 ANOTHER NEW CLINIC 🚨I'm so excited to have another new clinic at in July! This time we'll be focussing on improving the riders position for lateral work, such as leg yield, shoulder in, turn on the forehand, travers, renvers and half pass! We'll be looking at everything lateral work; how it benefits the horses way of going and how the riders position may influence the horses movement.

🐴 Why is lateral work important? Lateral work is a great way to improve flexibility, strength and symmetry for horses, engaging the hind leg, improving core strength and topline, better body awareness, balance and co-ordination, greater responsiveness to aids, improved focus during ridden sessions. Lateral work is beneficial for all disciplines and ability levels.

🐎 Some of the issues commonly seen in riders during lateral work (which Hannah can help with) include:
- Collapsing a hip or falling to one side
- Not knowing where to put your weight in the saddle during lateral movements
- Shoving with the seat
- Looking down or turning the head
- Uneven rein contact
- Unclear leg aids
- Losing rhythm
- Struggling to maintain harmony between horse and rider
- Gripping with the legs
- Losing the outside rein contact
- The list is endless!

🤸 So come and join Hannah for this fun and educational clinic and help improve your horses way of going in their lateral work - you will both benefit from it. Sessions are 45 mins long and are run as individual or paired sessions in the stunning indoor arena at Green Lane Equestrian.
