097. Dave Thind, Feldenkrais for Riders

Dave Thind is a German classically trained dressage rider who has developed a deep passion for the Feldenkrais method after discovering for himself how effective it can be. Dave has developed a rider-specific Feldenkrais method that helps you learn that ever-elusive 'feel' as a rider, but it also can help with pain and dysfunction caused by injury and past movement patterns. A fascinating method, Feldenkrais is not an exercise program but a technique that uses thoughtful movement and directed attention. Enjoy this conversation where Dave's passion for his work shines through and inspires us to realize we absolutely can help ourselves feel and move better. The book Dave references in this podcast is The Brain's Way of Healing by Norman Doidge.
