Rider seat coaching combines Pilates-based body and mind control with equine anatomy and biomechanics. Founder Aira Toivola has nearly 20 years of experience teaching riders and a background in physiotherapy, exercise and horses. Coaching caters for all disciplines, from leisure riders to professionals.
Options include individual and group Pilates, seat coaching for one or two riders, and one- or two-day courses elsewhere in Finland and abroad. Sensorimotor, reflex, body-informed and trauma-informed coaching are also offered. A rider Pilates video and a book on the method are sold. The premises have wheelchair-accessible entry.
