Neuro-Muscular Retraining Classes
Equine
Learn
to release tension, reinforce a sense of balance in your horse,
and strengthen the human/equine bond.
Getting Ready to Ride (90 minutes)
In this introductory
class, you will learn a gentle exercise, How to Rock Your Horse, which
will soften and rebalance both you and your horse and will prepare your
horse for work. This exercise can be used in place of passive stretches,
which seem to be quite popular these days but which can be quite damaging
to your horse.
You will
also learn how to recognize when your horse is suffering from
muscle tension and unbalanced movement. In addition, I will demonstrate
the three basic approaches of my Neuro-Muscular Retraining method, and
you will have the opportunity to try some of these approaches on your
horse as well.
Class size
is limited to 15.
Cost: $35
per person. The entire fee will be donated to your choice of either Habitat
for Horses or The Animal Legal Defense Fund (or another non-profit animal
organization of your choice).

Canine
The
Magic of Movement (90 minutes)
Does your
dog sit evenly on both seat bones, or does he favor one or the other?
Does she always lie on the same side of her body? Does he have difficulty
getting up? Is she uncoordinated or off-balance? Does he suffer from pain
or stiffness? Is your dog slow-moving, generally resistant, or grouchy?
In this 90-minute
demonstration, I will explain the importance of efficient movement in
our animal companions and will explain how you can determine if your animal
is moving efficiently and comfortably.
I will also
demonstrate the three hands-on approaches used in my Neuro-Muscular Retraining
method and will show you How to Breathe with Your
Dog, an exercise designed
to promote relaxation and bonding with your animal companion.
All of the
information and exercises in this class are applicable to cats
as well as dogs.
Cost: $35
per person. The entire fee will be donated to The Animal Legal Defense
Fund or another non-profit animal organization or shelter of your choice.
