About this title

Synopsis

Sally Tottle demonstrates how the Alexander Technique can be applied specifically to riding, not only to improve riding skills but also to overcome problems and faults. She covers how the Alexander Technique can improve muscle tone, suppleness and sensitivity; breathing; balance and co-ordination; sense of feel; communication with the horse; acquiring an independent seat; the use of the back; and poise in performance.

About the Author

Sally A Tottle, Certified Educator, Member of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (MSTAT), began riding at the age of seven and has ridden with top trainers in both combined training and dressage. She discovered the Alexander Technique after a serious back injury; while taking instruction, she realized that the technique had many important correlations to good riding. In 1988, Sally became a certified Alexander teacher. As she began to integrate AT with her riding instruction, she developed the philosophy that is now the basis for all her teaching.
