You will have 2 ridden group sessions with me (one focusing on posture and how it affects your horse and one pole session) and 2 Pilates sessions with Lauren (one focusing on strength and balance and one focusing on flexibility and mobility).

A nutritious lunch will be provided and tips on how to fuel your body correctly to give you more energy and making us feel better 🤩
