    Issues I had been struggling with in my riding are resolving as I practice Helen’s exercises; my legs are longer and more relaxed, hands softer and shoulders stabilised.

    I am now a complete convert to the benefit of Pilates for equestrians, and I am thoroughly impressed by Helen’s sensitivity, skill, and deep understanding of biomechanics, pilates and classical equitation.

    Helen is excellent at assessing my biomechanical issues, and fantastic at explaining the purpose and visualisation of the exercise concepts within my regularly fine-tuned customised exercise plan.

    I have only been working with Helen for a few months so far, but I have seen more improvement in my riding and body awareness in those few months than I have seen in years!
