You can't ride your best if you have tension, aches, or pain

Your body needs to be responsive and receptive for clear communication with your horse.

Body tension, pain, and dysfunctional breathing impact your mobility and stability—your means of communication with your horse.

You may not even realize you have an issue because dysfunction usually feels normal in our body—until it shows up as pain.

In this workshop, you'll identify movement patterns in your body that impede your and your horse's ability to move well and can also impact your future in riding.

Is this you?

  • You find yourself using your hands more than you'd like.

  • Your aids are much harder on one side than the other.

  • Sometimes you’re not sure what you’re supposed to feel.

  • You feel uncoordinated between your leg and your hand.

  • Your back aches, and your shoulders are tight.

  • Your feet go numb in the stirrups.

  • Your trainer repeatedly gives you the same cues ride after ride.

  • You have a hard time relaxing your hips and pelvis in the saddle.

The good news? You can rebalance your body out of the saddle to be stronger and more balanced in the saddle.

THE COLD HARD TRUTH

Riding alone doesn't maintain your ability to ride

Our bodies are amazing. We can train and condition them to do incredible things.

That's adaptability.

Sometimes it’s good—like exercise that restores and balances the body.

Sometimes it's not good—like sitting at a desk for more hours than anything else, or riding in a way that reinforces dysfunctional movement patterns.

Adaptations can cost us our mobility, stability, and control—leading to pain and loss of function.

The good news is that you can decide what your body adapts to, and you can build a body that is balanced and resilient now and in you future.

Imagine what it will feel like when you…

FIND OUT WHAT YOUR BODY REALLY NEEDS

Cut through the conflicting information about core strength, breath work, mobility vs stability, and feel for yourself what is right for your body.

YOUR CORE FEELS STRONG AND YOUR BACK DOESN'T HURT

Imagine rides ending with you feeling like you have a lot more in you because your body isn't working as hard.

YOUR FEET STOP GOING NUMB AND YOUR HIPS ARE RELAXED

Imagine you find something better than the feel-good in-the-moment stretches, and now your hips are mobile and your feet and ankles feel better.

This is possible for you—through better movement, breathing and awareness.

There's a better way than workouts that target the inner thighs, abs, and back that not only miss the mark, but create more tension in a lot of people

INTRODUCING
RIDER'S LONGEVITY & PERFORMANCE WORKSHOP

Simple practices with comprehensive results

You’ve been told to sit up straight, pull your shoulders back, and maybe even arch your back. What do all those cues have in common?

Without the foundation you need, they weaken the core's ability to do its job dynamically.

It's your trainer's job to make you an effective rider. It's not their job to see what movement patterns are getting in the way of your riding.

When you have a better foundation of movement out of the saddle, your trainer's cues land differently, and it'll be easier to improve your riding.

Rider’s Longevity & Performance Workshop is a focused, hands-on experience where you’ll find your functional posture and breath for core strength you don’t have to think about. Become stronger and more mobile in the saddle to ride with more ease.

SAVE YOUR SPOT

WHY THE RIDER'S LONGEVITY & PERFORMANCE WORKSHOP?

Because how you move out of the saddle is the foundation for how you move in it—and the key to a long riding career

The Rider's Longevity & Performance Workshop meets you where you are, delivers quick wins, and jumpstarts lasting progress.
It’s the first step to building resilience—for performance, progress, and longevity.
Whether you’re a competitive rider or you ride for fun, it starts here.

GET READY TO FEEL A DIFFERENCE IN AND OUT OF THE SADDLE

Here's what happens when you train your body out of the saddle

YOUR SEAT FEELS QUIET & STEADY

No more working so hard to hold your position in the saddle. Your core supports you, and everything feels more dynamic, yet stable.

POSTURE HAPPENS NATURALLY

You no longer struggle to sit up straight—you know better now. Your ribcage, spine, and pelvis work together without force, and it isn’t a chore anymore.

YOU FEEL LIGHTER & YOUR HORSE RESPONDS FASTER

Your body starts letting go of built-up tension. You’re not gripping, guarding, or blocking your horse. You feel lighter, looser, and ride with more ease, less pain.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Here's what we'll dive into

in this hands-on, 2-hour workshop

FIND OUT WHERE YOU STAND

The workshop starts with alignment and posture check, so you know exactly where you’re starting from—and we’ll revisit your alignment at the end of the workshop so you can see what has changed.

Then we’ll assess your breath & mobility—so you can understand your go-to strategies and whether they’re helping or hurting.

You'll find mobility and stability issues to work on.

IMPROVE BREATH, POSTURE & CORE

Learn how to breathe for better movement and core strength, along with a functional way to better posture without bracing.

You'll gain an understanding of pressure and tension management in your body. What works for you—and what works against you.

You'll learn a daily mobility routine to maintain your joints from head to toe.

INTEGRATE YOUR BREATH & POSTURE INTO MOVEMENT

Take what you learn and practice how to use it in real life.

It starts with connecting the breath to the core. You can expect to learn some new core exercises that turn on your core—without crunches.

We'll take that into basic human moves and talk about integration in the saddle

Happy clients

HEY, I’M RACHEL!

Here to restore your connection to your body—for better riding.

With 30 years in the fitness world and a lifelong rider, hiker, figure skater, and dog lover, I’ve created something different in Humans Move.

My approach is rooted in real-life movement—the kind that helps you feel better, move better, and build the strength, mobility, and resilience you need to ride well for decades to come.

I teach what most others skip—the foundation.

I got tired of watching people push through pain, hold tension they didn’t even know they had, and chase workouts they weren’t ready for. So I built programs that focus on what matters most: breathing well, moving well, and building a rock-solid foundation your body can rely on—for life.

Whether you're coming back from injury, stuck in pain, or just want to stay strong and capable in the saddle—I'm here to help you feel and move like an athlete, at every age, and every skill level

Is Rider's Longevity & Performance for You?

RLP is for you if...

  • Feeling good in the saddle matters more than pushing through pain for ribbons and titles.

  • You value doing things the right way vs the rushed way.

  • You want to listen to your body.

  • You’re here for no pain, more gain—done with the grind

RLP isn't for you if...

  • Longevity and future health aren’t something you care to think about

  • Your competition timeline is all that matters.

  • You believe in mind over matter — and crushing a workout fixes everything.

  • You believe in “no pain, no gain.”
