Is a full library of exercise classes for riders to improve posture, balance, body awareness and stability — all from home, in as little as 15 minutes a day.
If you do no other activities to support your riding, this is all you need. If you run or go to the gym, add this into your weekly routine to ensure your straightness, balance and mobility – the specifics you need for riding which aren’t usually trained in other activities. These programs are designed specifically for equestrians, to create a body with a solid foundation for riding that can have clear communication with the horse. Find out more HERE

Légèreté Clinics and Lessons
Liana travels to teach clinics and lessons. Lessons combine in-hand work including classical flexions, lunging, groundwork and ridden work.
What Is the École de Légèreté?The École de Légèreté (School of Lightness) was founded by Philippe Karl, a former écuyer (master rider) at the Cadre Noir in Saumur, France. It’s a classical riding school based on centuries-old European traditions, with an emphasis on respect of the horse and ease.
Core Principles:* Lightness (“Légèreté”): The horse learns to respond to the lightest possible aids.
* Respect for the horse: Training is done without force, gadgets, draw reins, or rollkur. The horse is always treated as a thinking, feeling partner.
* Flexibility and balance: The horse is taught to carry himself correctly using gymnastic exercises that promote physical well-being.
* Scientific and ethical approach: The method draws on biomechanics, classical literature (e.g., Baucher, La Guérinière), and horse psychology.
Differences from other systems:* Unlike many competitive or “modern” dressage approaches, the EDL prioritizes long-term soundness and respect of the horses nature over competition results.
* We work in the timeframe the horse needs, even if that doesn’t meet the expectations of the rider – the horse comes first.
“The philosophy of Légèreté allows any seriously motivated rider access to high school equitation, even with a perfectly ordinary horse.”

Simulator Seat Training
Liana is a rider biomechanics trainer, she offers Simulator training to really focus on your seat, posture and aids. The simulator is a great way to precisely concentrate on what’s happening in your body, without having to worry about the horse. You can practice a particular movement over and over without boring the horse.
Liana is absolutely passionate about helping both horse and rider move better and feel better. Sometimes we need to concentrate on one without the other before we can bring both horse and rider together.
