Body Instrument Method (BIM)

Description

Body Instrument Method is a Body Conditioning and Movement Training Program

Using modern movement science as our guide, rather than conventional, disproved biomechanics models, we will explore your movement in an equestrian context to help you develop the following
- Improved coordination
- Improved Balance Recovery
- Improve off-balance stabilisation
- Reduce Injury risk, both chronic and acute
- Increase your mobility and range of motion
- Add more nuance to your personal body memory, and movement toolkit

- Improve efficiency for strength requiring movements
- Increase physical adaptability
- Explore movement variability
- Increase your riding potential
- Increase your ability to adapt to any horse, any saddle, any movement your horse makes with greater confidence

You do not have to trap your body inside of correct only postures, positions and movements to become an excellent horse rider.

In BIM we go much further beyond just riding as the equestrian life is MOVEMENT RICH and we will explore groundwork, and even daily chores and everyday movements as important and valuable parts of your movement tool kit.

Modern Movement Science gives us a new understanding as why so many discipline specific horses lack fundamental soundness, adaptability and confidence in their work and often so do their riders.  By focusing on adaptability and variability you increase your movement potential as a generalist, rather than a specialist, so that you can enjoy more choice with your horses. 

But because Body Instrument Method is a course from Emotional Horsemanship, we also explore the intrinsic connection between movement and emotion.  Using the 7 Simple Movements as our connectors to the Panksepp 7 Primary Emotional Systems, we explore and expand our FEEL both physically and emotionally... because you cannot work physically without working emotionally too... unless you want to be a shut down, mechanical living bio-machine.  

BIOMECHANICS or the training of BIOMACHINES is not what this course is offering.  This is real movement training for LIVING FEELING  HUMAN BEINGS. 

This first offering of BIM does not teach your exercises for your horse... but it teaches exercises FOR YOU so that you can be better for your horse.  Later versions of BIM will offer horse specific training.
