Feeling out the releases in her body… #equinebodywork
For all of my clients who are working on the pillars of Celeste-Leilani Lazaris’s Balance Through Movement Method™️:
Here is what you are looking for as you work on Pillar 1. The brachiocephalic muscle is relaxed, rippling as he moves. In fact, he is relaxed overall, licking and chewing (processing).
From here, the horse can begin using his body correctly. Thoracic sling engagement begins, thus alleviating improper self-carriage that leads to dysfunction in the body.
Want to learn more about this game-changing method? I’d love to connect you with Celeste and her program. And of course, I’d love to help your horse release tension in its body! ❤️
The power (and hilarity) of light tough! 😆😆😆
While moving through the bladder meridian, I came to a point where this guy worked (twerked) really hard to find his release.
It was quite funny, yet shows the profound impact light touch has on the horse’s nervous system and entire body.
I leave days like this feeling very rewarded by what each horse teaches me. 🥰🥰🥰

Each day that I spend with a horse is a day well-spent. I’m so incredibly grateful to do what I do.

This sweet girl always loves her bodywork sessions. She gives the BIGGEST releases. ☺️. #ilovemyjob #equinemassage #equinemassagetherapy #equinebodywork #equinebodyworker #stlouisequinemassage #equinewellness #equinehealth #wholehorsewellness #Godgetstheglory #letitgo #musclewhisperer #horsesofstl #horseygirl #equitape #stlouisequinemassage #holistichorsecare #equinekinesiotaping #equinekinesiology
Why is important for the horse to “release”? In short, it engages the parasympathetic nervous system, stimulating the restorative processes of the body.
The horse is a prey animal that spends most of its time in fight/flight (sympathetic) mode. Releasing is an outward sign of the body processing and restoring itself.
Plus, they look so stinkin’ cute when they do it. 😜

This adorable stallion says, “I’d really like the lavender today!” 🥰😍😆

When you try to fight the release… But. You. Just. Can’t. 😆❤️

This boy thoroughly enjoyed his bodywork today! 🥰

This silly guy has the most unique way of responding to muscular restrictions— he slides his hind end up against the wall. (Check out my story to see how dramatic he gets.)
While it’s hilarious, it’s also a great way to show the connections in the horse’s body. What restricts him in the shoulder affects the hind end.
As tension unravels in one place, the whole horse is positively affected.
I love the power of massage!

I thought I’d be fun to do a time lapse of part of a bodywork session... 😆

When I first started working with this guy, he would bite at me if I was trying to work on an area where he held tension. He’s partially blind, club-footed, and a more dominant horse. Now, he stands without being tied and gives me puppy dog eyes throughout his whole session. Love this silly senior!

I love his expression here! I had just opened and he was already licking and chewing. It had been a while since his last session and he could not wait for his bodywork. But, what I love most is the look in his eye. He was concentrating on the work and was so happy!🥰🥰🥰
