Riding with Relaxation Techniques including Brain Gym and Reflex Integration

 

Heidi has studied Brain Gym since 2000 and is also a Registered Therapeutic Riding Instructor and has coursework in Energy Medicine, and Rhythmic Movement Technique. Brain Gym is an educational program that uses simple movements to impact whole-brain learning and to integrate the developmental reflexes (the movements babies work through in order to learn new physical and mental tasks). When you move your body, you move your brain and can create new ways of thinking.

 

Whether you have a fear of riding after a fall, or just want to make riding easier, combining Brain Gym with riding can help you accomplish your goals quickly and easily as described in The Whole Rider sessions, materials and coursework. You can learn the exercises that will help you and therefore your horse. Melocco teaches how you can gain control of your body and make your riding cues more effective no matter what your experience or discipline.
