Editorial note: The following piece has come to our office from Catherine Hamber - we do not endorse this seminar as we have no knowledge of Catherine - we bring you this information in the interests of further learning.

You ride for the challenge. You ride for the exercise. But most of all you ride for the joy of it. Whether you ride for performance in dressage or endurance (or any other discipline) or simply for pleasure you will enjoy discovering the whole body movement patterns that underlie a co-ordinated, effective seat and the ability to dance with your horse.

When you are with your horse there is a lot to be aware of! SENSATIONAL SITTING is a series of intertwined Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® lessons which consist of comfortable, easy explorations that gradually evolve into movements of greater range and complexity. By involving imagination, attention, perception and cognition these pleasurable and precise sequences bring awareness to the parts of the self that commonly remain hidden, and alter the neuromuscular patterns that organise and control movement.

We are creatures of habit. Feldenkrais® lessons let you feel how your body moves so you can use the information to improve your actions. Feldenkrais® is an established and scientifically based method which helps achieve greater flexibility, strength and neuromuscular control while reducing pain, limitation, and injury. This method is based in the understanding that the brain organizes all of our movements. You will learn to recognize unnecessary force, poorly organized movement, and replace it with comfort, safety and harmonious movement.

You will benefit if you wish your seat to be more effective, if you teach or train equestrian athletes.
