Looks fun to me so it must be good

I think tai chi and qi gong exercise are extremely helpful to equestrians because it teaches us to slow our rhythm to align with the much slower natural rhythm of the horse...allowing us to connect and communicate with the horse through energy flow. See YouTube videos for Riding with Chi and Riding with Chi - Rooting Demonstration if you are interested.

Nice to see ... But that does not get off the image of a guru ... I wish ... That he's working horses and riding further ... sorry!

DJBelbe, how do you know that no one even bothers to check if the pupil has any notion of "rhythm"? Mr Hempfling is a Master. If you knew this, it is not likely you would question his methods. The only thing I find to be absurd is that someone would criticize that which they cannot even spell.

it's quite absurd to see so much yelling around riding schools concerning rythm when noone ever bothers to check if the pupil has any notion of rytmh himself! how can we ask of the horse that wich we don't master ourselves? how can we hope to be in harmony with them? People make fun of my awkward attemps to do most things both left and right handed, but then they dare complain that their horse is stiff on one side... aren't they as well??

By "the whole body experience", I mean the movement, the dance, the rhythm, the music, the drumming, the beat, the sounds, the timing, the musicians, the breathing, the interaction between the people, the energy, the life, the interconnection, the expression, the happiness, the timelessness, the creativity, the learning, the development, the precision, and of course, how we were all "just being" in the moment of "now"...

By watching this, for me it feels very nice to be "immersed" again in the sights and sounds of the class, like I want to jump into the screen and be back there, right now, ha ha!

I think for anyone watching this, perhaps they will be able to feel the "whole body experience" themselves, as we did at the time - just by looking at it.

Is this class for women only?

[nature2promotion]

@amiryeti Without question no - there are in average around 20% men in Klaus' courses according to the general relation in the horse world.
