From my first Self-Carriage Embodied Fitness Community class, I transformed my balance, achieving stability and releasing tension in my upper back while effectively engaging my core. These classes are now vital to my winter routine, improving my strength and body awareness, which was evident during my riding lessons with my mare, Godiva. I've received compliments on my posture and riding seat, reflecting my rapid progress. I'm thankful for these classes, as they enhance my riding and connection with my horses, making this journey a game-changer for me.

I have been a member of the in self-carriage embodied fitness for riders for more than two years. The transformation Trish has facilitated in my riding and overall well-being has been remarkable. Over the past two years, my coordination has significantly improved, making me feel more youthful and confident in the saddle.

Train Your Seat Embodied Rider Biomechanics, as taught by Trish, is the ONLY exercise program that has truly worked for me. After undergoing three spinal surgeries, I was significantly limited, but this program helped me regain my strength, and I'm thrilled to say that I'm riding again! If you're facing mobility challenges, this is the perfect program for you! Thank you, Trish!

Following my simulator session, I went to ride my horses and felt an amazing sense of relaxation and freedom in my body, free from the chronic tension and pain I usually experience. Thus, the session was not only a fantastic opportunity for feeling and learning, but it also served as a therapeutic experience. I'm eagerly looking forward to my next lesson!

I had a fantastic time at the Train Your Seat workshop and retreat with Trish Tweddell at Eckwood Equestrian this weekend! Trish, you are always an inspiration, and I truly appreciate your efforts in expanding our horsemanship knowledge. Plus, your delicious meals and warm hospitality made each day even more special!

I am a lifelong equestrian and Grade V paradressage rider who has trained with Trish. Train Your Seat Rider Biomechanics has transformed my riding by teaching me to use my body mindfully, reducing joint strain and pain while optimizing energy use. Key techniques I've found helpful include:
- Visualizing the xiphoid process as a "cat door" to guide my torso and effectively direct my horse.
- Envisioning my pelvis as a wheel to follow my horse's motion, helping me relax instead of bracing during canter.
- Mindful breathing, viewing the diaphragm as the "top" of the pelvic floor, enhancing my seat and overall life.
I'm grateful to Trish for her support and effective teaching style, which has significantly improved my equestrian skills.

Trish offers an impressive program with the In Self-Carriage Embodied Fitness Community, effectively bringing TYS Embodied Rider Biomechanics to her students. Her dedication to consistently delivering new content and eagerness to share her insights is commendable. Trish skillfully translates her knowledge of human biomechanics into practical solutions for both individuals and their horses. Engaging with her, whether briefly or for longer sessions, allows participants to benefit from embodied fitness, mindfulness, and equitation strategies

Train Your Seat Embodied Rider Biomechanics, especially through the In Self-Carriage Community, has had a significant impact on my riding. It has deepened my anatomical knowledge, introduced tools for enhanced function, reduced tension, and greater harmony. The proprioceptive training has helped address my asymmetries and has improved my posture and position in the saddle. I appreciate the customized exercises designed specifically for riders. Also, as a senior rider with several physical challenges, Trish’s willingness to work out exercise modifications is a huge benefit. The program's flexibility helps me keep on track, the integrated challenges are fun and motivating and Trish's vibrant, positive teaching style enriches the experience. Truly a standout program!

The riding retreat I attended last weekend was an incredible experience for both me and my horse; it truly exceeded my expectations. Your program was outstanding, and I gained valuable insights that I will apply to my riding in the future. Not to mention the delightful meals you served! I look forward to becoming a regular participant in your retreats!
