First time ever I have been able to get my shoulders, back and head against the wall …thank you …your exercises are really helping me so much. Just so you know I’ve been to physio, chiropractor, done Pilates and seen various other people who look at posture and exercises etc and no one has cracked it for me… your stuff works!

I absolutely love what you’ve set up and I think your catering for a HUGE gap in the market. I’ve done a couple different riders Pilates type things in the past and did just feel that I was strengthening my imbalances (and I wasn’t even really sure where they were coming from to try and do less reps one side etc!). So big thumbs up on the program from me.

Every single rider who is concerned with straightness should work their way through the crooked seat exercises and assessments! I have learnt so much about my body and muscles that I can now apply to my riding and other sports I do. My body feels much stronger and more oiled!

SitWell is the most comprehensive and specific rider programme I have found The Progress Tests are an excellent way of finding out about your strengths and weaknesses and then being able to apply your time most effectively to the right areas to make rapid progress. You can then work on the less problematic areas later. The content of the programme is comprehensive and well explained, offering very good value for money

I am so glad to have joined the SitWell Programme. It is the missing piece of the puzzle for my riding and the exercises are showing me how to work on my weaknesses and crookedness in the saddle. The assessments are easy to follow and the exercise videos are very clear. A wonderful resource!

I’ve had two lessons now and learnt so much about my riding and how little tweaks to my position can make such a difference to your horse and it’s movement. If you want to improve your riding, I strongly suggest you contact Liana and book a lesson. I can’t wait for my next session on Magic.

Liana is an excellent trainer, she has great insight and patience - I would highly recommend her. She has helped me immensely with my balance, strength and straightness following surgery.

I have been struggling with some crookedness and tightness issues that I have in the saddle which are really tough to address when riding my sharp and crooked horse! It was great to have an opportunity to work on this and Liana was marvelous at working out what I was doing with my body, and giving me exercises to do on and off the horse which immediately made a difference. I am extremely grateful for my session with her, and feel like I have some clear and practical things I can do which will help to address some long standing problems. Thanks, this session was invaluable.
