Tai Chi for Horse Riders

Stained glass by Di Waghorn
Good riding has a lot to do with good communication.

Communication with a horse is not about gadgets; the rider’s mind set, posture, and balance are what good communication is about. Are my body and my mind giving the same message to the horse?

A horse has enough to contend with carrying a rider, clear communication makes life so much easier – for both. This is where Tai Chi comes in. Awareness, mental and physical. Learn how, with Tai Chi for Riders.

Groups, or 1 to 1 sessions, with or without horse. Please contact me for details.

I come to her classes whenever I can - sometimes 9 times per week - and always admire how she adapts the class to include and benefit everyone.

Maor Netsa, Chen and Yang Style
Andrea pays great attention to detail and has seemingly endless patience. Her dedication to her own development is inspirational.

Chen Student
Attending Andrea's classes has heightened my awareness of space, balance and posture and how physical position has immediate impact on both body and mind.

Jane Whitty, Yang style
It is so easy to recommend Andrea’s classes because she is not only an excellent Tai Chi teacher but she is also a wonderfully kind, patient and understanding person who is ready and willing to help all her pupils achieve their full potential.
