BALANCEDRIDER Tai Chi™ BalancedRider™ Tai Chi is a program of un-mounted and mounted exercises that teaches riders about balance, body alignment, fine-scale motor control, rhythm of movement, and the origin of movement from the body's vital center.

With BALANCEDRIDER Tai Chi™, you will learn how to:
  • Improve your balance and deepen your seat
  • Ride with relaxation
  • Use breathing effectively
  • Coordinate the movement of your entire body
  • Maintain alignment of your body so your horse can move correctly and freely beneath you
  • Respond to your horse without thinking
Classes consist of regular un-mounted sessions where riders learn Tai Chi principles of balance, breathing, and relaxed energy flow. All classes incorporate standing breathing meditation, stationary qigong exercises to develop suppleness in spine and hips, and moving tai chi qigong exercises to develop relaxed, balanced movement of body. As riders progress on the ground, they have the option of adding BalancedRider™ Tai Chi mounted sessions. These sessions allow riders to practice the tai chi principles on horseback..
