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.

Kate Zimmerman
Pilates Instructor & Dressage Enthusiast
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.

Dr Julie F
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!

Equipoise Pilates is the missing link I have been looking for to improve my riding, and my horse’s performance.
