'The postures and exercises in Yoga for Equestrians are invaluable for anyone who struggles to acquire the classical alignment. They are also helpful for those of us who need to maintain flexibility, and improve breathing, body awareness, and focus - and who doesn't?' - Mary Wanless, author of Ride With Your Mind
