Thank you Amy that was so rich and informative, definitely added to my toolkit. Wonderful!!!
Can’t wait to try some of these exercises with my riders! Will have to figure out what to try with who, but I’m looking forward to the challenge. So much great info!!!
Wonderful! Would love to hear how it goes once you try them out.
Excited to bring these exercises back to add to warm ups. We have many students that would benefit from the yoga poses.
Glad to hear the exercises will help your students. Report back if you get a chance to let us know how it went!
