Neurofeedback &Tai Chi for Equestrians in Tennessee!

Hello James,

     Wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your clinic and how incredibly useful it was for every aspect of my riding and my personal/professional life.
     Not only am I a psychologist, but I specialize in Neurofeedback Therapy. Essentially, I am able to monitor the brain activity and provide visual/auditory information and help my patients (as well as myself) regulate their brain activity inorder to achieve greater balance, harmony, and health in their lives. I experimented a bit on myself today with some of your "balancing" exercises and monitoring the sensori-motor strip as well as the occiptal lobe. I was able to recieve visual verification of the proper regulation as well as the internal sensory awareness of proper balance. Awesome! I plan to also take a look at the cerebellum (monitored at the inion) and see what happens when providing the feedback during the standing meditation exercises. I am playing with these ideas and will let you know what I find.
     I hope you have a wonderful respite in Montana and I am sure you will enjoy yourself at Aimee's. I am very grateful for the work you are doing.
Best regards,

Catherine (the great)

Testimonial from Switzerland!

Testimonial by Nicole Giger, classical dressage instructor in Switzerland and Portugal:
"Just a day after my first Tai Chi and Riding-course with James in Switzerland, I implemented some of the exercises in the lessons I give and my students improved their riding immediately. What my students and I enjoyed most: to see and feel how much the horses relaxed and apparently improved their rhythm/cadence. The Key element for the rider is to keep attention to his breath and to feel how sensitive the horse is to it. You can learn as much technique as you wish but at the end good riding is all about feeling. I was very pleased to get enough time during the lessons to figure out which elements and exercises I want to add to my own classical schooling and the one of my students. Tai Chi is not a new technique for riding,
Tai Chi just helps to feel your body better, so you can get a better rider, who is balanced enough not to disturb the natural balance of the horse anymore!"
Best regards, look forward to meet you again.
