Save time, enjoy results, and score-breakthroughs, experience freedom from discomfort and struggle.

 

With DTM, you’ll awaken your body’s innate ability to ride softer, with greater feel and better results. Say goodbye to the aches and pains that you may have accepted as "normal". Results are as little as two-weeks away.

You’ll learn how to release the physical and mental tension, as well as the “over-effort” that blocks the full expression of your horse’s talent.

The Feldenkrais MethodÂź is a way of using movement to improve the function of the nervous system and the brain. We're not just working on the body, we're working on the brain-body connection. We're helping people to move more efficiently, more easily, with less effort.

Carefully Crafted, Result-Oriented, Proven Success Dressage Courses

Now it’s your turn! What level of improvement are you looking for?

Courses and packages designed to give everyone a breakthrough, organized by level of commitment, and level of desired results. Suitable for all ages, from intro to Olympic champion. 

Looking for where to start? A big big change in two-weeks? The first two courses listed here are a must-have for every rider.

All courses are Feldenkrais newbie-friendly, no prior experience is required. 

14-Day Challenge: Unlock Your Hips and Swing With Your Back This Month's Featured Course

Ready for a big improvement with minimal effort?

It is easier and more accessible than most people think. You owe it to yourself, and your horses, to try. The course is guaranteed to work for you. 

You can say goodbye to performance-limiting back and hip tension within just two weeks. Several students have written in to share their jubilation - with major improvement to their riding and some finally getting rid of chronic pain. 

You’ll experience a significant change in your seat —  a newfound suppleness, elasticity, and body awareness but also improved abilities. A more effective seat, a deeper seat, and moving much more with your horse. 

Whether your goal is to learn to follow in a comfortable, correct, and non-disturbing way, or better to direct your horse with pelvic and lumbar nuances, this course is right for you.  

We also refer to this course as Seat 101 and like lunge lessons, something all riders can come back to as often as possible. Your horses will most likely go better as a direct result!

This course is the perfect introductory course for those who aren't quite ready to dive into the full program (Please note, this course is the same as Module 1 of the 60-Day, 5 Module Program).

This course is gentle and suitable for almost everyone, including those currently in pain (recovered from injury however still painful, fibromyalgia, pain patterns). 

No matter your riding level, discipline, or age, you’ll become confident with every ride.

Hear From Our Happy Riders after their 60-Day Transformation

"The Feldenkrais Method has not only helped me out of chronic pain but improved my riding tremendously through reducing tension and increasing suppleness, while highly increasing my body awareness! This course might help you."

- Felicitas von Neumann-Cosel

"Hi Dave! I have to tell you that after doing just part of Module 1, my horse and I have turned a corner. I can't believe it. I am able to sit the trot and canter so much better. Because I'm relaxing my hips and back more, he's giving me his back. I can feel him pushing with his hind end. I also have never known what some things actually feel like - i.e. "hold the horse with your back" or "influence the horse with your core"... now I do - I believe in part because of your session and my ability to be more aware of my body. OMG OMG OMG I've been riding my entire life - most of it in dressage. This is life changing for me."

- Lori Elrod, Adult Amateur Dressage and Event Rider, NY

"To all my fellow riders, I encourage you to check this out! Following this program has helped me ride with better alignment and self-awareness. Even better, it has relieved some of my chronic hip and neck pain!"

- Susan Buchanan, "S" judge, MA

"Hello Dave, I feel so fortunate to have signed up for your online seat training course. I went through all of Module 1 twice, and am feeling less back and hip pain, and yesterday I did most of my trot work in sitting trot--following my horse much more instead of against him! My trainer is very impressed with what is happening to my body! Not only can I follow my horse better, I'm straighter! I have a history of collapsing to the right and this has almost magically disappeared, my trainer confirmed it. My horse of course feels lighter, more engaged from behind, I can ride him more forward but maintain balance and I'm finding self carriage.  I just went through the first lesson of Module 2, I feel amazing. So much taller, aligned, self-aware. I can't wait until my riding lesson tomorrow.... I have to say that I normally get off from riding feeling a bit sore in the hips, but not these last rides. In fact, I feel great, almost felt like dancing after jumping off! Even taking a stroll in the grocery store after riding, I realized how comfortable I actually am. I've never considered myself someone with good proprioception. But, not only do I now feel my body better while riding (even while listening to the demands of my trainer from my earpiece), I find myself noticing how things in daily life. For example, how I shift weight etc. while lifting my arm to brush my teeth. I've lived in this body for 64-years and never before have I truly inhabited it like I am doing now. It's unbelievable how much change is occurring, I'm not exactly sure the science behind it, but I don't care:-)I have ridden most of my life, and now I have a 9 year old Hanoverian gelding that I imported i I very much look look forward to continue my learning with the help of your online course. Thank you so much for making your lessons available to us. You are an incredible instructor."

- Lesley Armstrong, IL, USA
