Stephany and Aviva catch up on their own pony journeys, with Aviva dealing with yet more snow and Stephany recounting how her latest lessons went with Kathy Connelly. We get a really great question for “Ask the L” about corners, and as usual, Aviva makes it so much more digestible!

We have a word from Purina, who is the sponsor of this month’s podcast.

In this episode, Stephany and Aviva chat with Suzanne DeStefano, a Pennsylvania based Feldenkrais practitioner and dressage rider/trainer. We delve into the mysterious question of “what IS Feldenkrais?” and get some examples of how it can help people, both in and out of the saddle. We discuss the founder, Moishe Feldenkrais, and how he came to develop this interesting way of helping people get more in touch with their bodies. We got to hear how Suzanne’s personal journey in riding led her to discovering this modality, and how it has shaped both her riding and her practice with other riders. It is an interesting practice, and one that some of our listeners might find valuable if they are struggling with their own riding journey. Take a listen!
