Develop Self-Carriage with Hypopressives
Stop bracing, stop gripping, and discover the power of low-pressure core fitness designed for the equestrian body.
As riders, we are constantly told to engage our core, sit deep, and stay relaxed. But traditional core exercises like crunches and planks actually increase internal pressure, causing us to brace, stiffen our hips, and hold our breath in the saddle.
When you brace against your horse, your horse braces and runs through the aids.
Hypopressives change the game. This specialized training method shifts your body out of resistance and into effortless alignment, allowing you to move in perfect synchronization with your horse.

Hypopressives are a unique combination of full-body postural poses and a specialized breathing technique known as the apnea (a gentle breath hold).
Unlike traditional fitness, this practice creates a vacuum effect that safely decreases internal pressure in your abdomen and pelvis. Instead of pushing down on your body, it lifts everything up and inward, automatically activating your deepest stabilizing muscles without you having to consciously force or grip.
The Big Three Benefits for Riders
By training your body out of the saddle, you completely change how you perform in it. Hypopressives target the exact areas equestrians struggle with most:
-
Pelvic Health: Tones and lifts the pelvic floor naturally. This helps eliminate leaking during sitting trot or canter work, supports pelvic symmetry, and stabilizes your seat bones.
-
Better Breathing: Opens up rib cage mobility and trains your respiratory system. You will stop holding your breath during intense moments or complex patterns, keeping both you and your horse calm.
-
Automatic Posture & Control: Automatically aligns your spine and activates your deep core. This allows your pelvis to absorb your horse's movement beautifully, leaving your hands and legs quiet, independent, and free to give precise cues.

A message from Trish: The greatest gift we can give our horses is a seat that absorbs force without stiffness. Hypopressives give you the structural strength to be the balanced, lightweight partner your horse deserves.
