My friend, Jenny has been raving about the incredible benefits of Breathwork for Equestrian Wellness, and it's truly inspiring! The power of Breathwork in promoting relaxation, focus, and harmony between rider and horse is undeniable. Jenny's endorsement serves as a powerful testament to its effectiveness, and I'm excited to explore this practice further with Michelle. 

Snippets of the VIDEO : ... I just want to give you my thoughts about the breathwork I've been doing with Michelle and how it's helped me with my riding ...every single lesson: remember to breathe ... when I find myself in a new situation or I feel the tension in my horse the first thing I do is hold my breath and that is the exact opposite thing that we should do. As you probably know, my work with Michelle has helped me tremendously in this manner. Before I mount my horse, I always check with myself to make sure my breathing is controlled, it's slow and, it connects with my heart rate. Typically, this is done for me during the grooming and saddling process. It's a great time to reconnect with my buddy, Opus... often mimics me with a long verbal breath of his own and during our ride and with Michelle's expert guidance, I have focused on evening my breath and breathing through my nostrils. As I do, I feel my horse relaxed beneath me: we've greatly improved our connection and our ability to perform ... feel the release of tension. Please give Michelle a call and try concentrating on your breathwork, you'll be glad you did and your horse will too ...

As an instructor, Michelle deftly integrates technique, discipline and inspiration into her teaching environment. It allows her students to safely challenge our individual mental and physical boundaries within a group collective. In a mandated structure dialogue that is constant by design, Michelle avoids hyperbole but uses relatable analogies or metaphors that often result in "a-ha" moments. This promotes quick adaptation by the student within a very limited and set timeframe while simultaneously allowing the student to avoid a frenzied or defeated reaction to the task at hand. This is made all the more impressive as the class composition varies in size, experience, anatomical and physiological knowledge. Yet with or without solicitation, Michelle expertly addresses the form, technique, and occasional mental needs for individual students in support of our success. This makes her a genuine teacher. I highly recommend experiencing the environment she creates and the success that you will individually experience within her wellness environment. - GeMar Neloms, Washington, DC
