The aim of Body'work' is to bring you into a place of greater comfort and ease within your body so that you are more able to do whatever else you need to do in life.  You'll learn how to trust your body to do the right thing, and learn how to trust yourself, too!

Concepts of how the body works, understanding how your idea of how the body works affects how it works, and movement exploration will be used to free up your body.  This is not massage.  It's more like getting the instructions for how to communicate with your body to get the best results - how to walk so your knees don't hurt, how to sit to avoid fatigue, how to carry your head to avoid headaches.  

In riding, position is the key to everything, and yet simply 'getting into a position' is the surest way to tank everything.  The awareness you will get through this 'work' will allow the position to come naturally and as a result of understanding how your body operates.  It will be as if your were 'glass blown from breath' as opposed to 'glass pressed into place.'

With the horses, they often have the same confusion about how to move - especially if they've been exposed to rigorous but incorrect training.  Their natural reflexes have gotten a bit cross-wired.  This type of work will allow them to find their original way of being and their original brilliance and beauty.

The information provided is a blend of illustration, explanation, movement, and exploration.  You'll get new ideas about how to communicate with your body or your horses body as well as techniques for discovering better ways to communicate for 'self-care' in between sessions.
