What exactly does alignment mean?
Everyone has a natural alignment, which is the position your parts need to be in to work together and correctly.
The way you do and don’t use your body daily can change this.
You know those stacked building blocks we aspire to have when riding?
Developing your alignment gives you this: it becomes your norm in and out of the saddle.
And brings many benefits!
Why is alignment important for you and your horse?
The way you move every day shows up when you're in the saddle.
Restoring your alignment is like unlocking secrets about your body. It lets you feel what’s going on—how you stand, balance, and even those habits you don’t think about.
And guess what? This doesn’t just make a difference to you. It’s helping your horse’s health and happiness, too.
When you’re aligned, you’re not just easing the strain on your own body, but you’re also helping your horse move better. Less pressure on your joints means less pain and wear, not just for you, but for your horse as well.
But there’s more—this whole alignment thing? It’s not just about comfort.
It also aids your overall health—the way your blood can flow, your bones strength, your breathing, digestion, and even your pelvic floor.
And as you tune into your own alignment, you’ll start noticing more about your horse’s needs and how they’re feeling.
It’s all about creating this clear, open line of communication with your horse, so you’re not just working together; you’re moving as one.
