Sub-titled: Revolutionise Your Riding with the Alexander Technique
The Alexander Technique offers a unique way of improving balance, co-ordination, and mobility of the human body with methods that free the body of unnecessary muscular tension, which can cause fatigue, pain, and limited movement.
This innovative guide combines Alexander Technique principles with thorough riding instruction to help riders improve their skills. Sally Tottle explains posture, muscle tone and sensitivity, breathing, balance, sense of feel, the independent seat, horse and rider communication, and poise in performance.
The Alexander Technique is particularly well suited to riders; the horse acts as a monitor for the improved use of the human body, and responds positively as his rider becomes more balanced, sensitive and confident. Filled with crisp photos and detailed drawings, BodySense helps both novice and experienced riders improve their position and, as a result, the performance of their horse.
Contents includes:
· What is BodySense?

Sally Swift, author of Centered Riding, writes in her Foreword 'This wonderful book is easy to read, clear, concise, and well organised ... a must in any horseman's library'
