My left arm

Lately...... no, historically...  I've had a problem with my left arm...
It keeps lifting to punch me in the eye as I do my circles... 

My Alexander teacher discovered this quite on her own and showed me how I fail to ALLOW my arm (humerus) to hang and be supported in it's scoopy resting place on the radius ulna....

Sometimes you need a coach to help develop an awareness of how you use ( or misuse) your body...

  1. It doesn't matter what level you ride, you always need someone on the ground, especially when training. Our whole focus tends to become the horse and leads us down a slippery slope in our position.
