The Confident Rider Podcast Jane Pike

Lovely people, I’m back-- Both on the airways with the Confident Rider Podcast more generally speaking, and with two of my favourites, the incredible Tania Kindersley and Kathy Price. If you are familiar with our catch ups from the past you will know that the usual format runs to something like the following:
 What do you think we should talk about?
I’m not sure, what do you think?
I’m not sure either?
Shall we just hit record and see what happens?
Yes, let’s.
 So here we are, hitting record and seeing what happens!
 Given the nature of good friends, similar interests and desires for conversations that do more than skim across the surface level, we inevitably find things get interesting quite quickly.
 Over the course of our meandering conversations, we discuss:
What is it we mean when we say that we are always learning from our horses? What does it mean to live a live that feels spacious? What is your relationship to time? How does it differ between horses and humans? How might the creative process apply to our relationship with our horses?  I hope you enjoy it! 
❤️ Jane 

"When the old patterns arise, I will dissent. When life convinces me, it is something to be endured rather than enjoyed, I will dissent.
And I will show up here, and I will write about it, as a reminder to those wanting to hold hands and do the same."

A gentle reminder to let yourself be new.

There’s a beautiful phrase that I hold gently in my hands, that I’ve adopted as one of my mottos for living.

"Birds coast when they can".

Every time I say it out loud to myself, I’m met with the glorious vision of a bird in flight, that proves these words to be true.
Birds coast where they can is a reminder to let yourself be supported.

A reminder to look for opportunities for ease, and where you, yourself, may be complicating things in a way that isn’t necessary. Doing too much for what is required.

Where are the opportunities for you to coast?

How can you allow yourself to be carried?

And what are all the ways you argue against allowing this to be the case?

Peeps, I'm back with one of my favourite humans, the most loveliest Kathy Price!
Kathy and I are teaching a workshop together this weekend, and in our pre-workshop prep decided we could scoop the cream off the top of our conversation and sit down and chatter with you on the podcast. 
Over the course of our meandering conversation, we talk about:
The evolution of our work and business The principles that we follow that inform our life and work The application of energy and intention to our decision making processes We hope you enjoy it!

The possibilities for your horse to move functionally and in a way that promotes health and wellness exist only within the range that he is balanced; our job as riders, then, is not only to facilitate balance in them in order that they can carry us without compromising themselves, and to ensure that our balance point matches theirs.
The area of study that I’ve involved myself in is really interested in the movement of the fascial trains and the path of movement that the body follows when it is in the parasympathetic, or not in fight flight. The key element that we pay attention to is the movement of the centreline and the arc that the centreline follows to produce healthy movement patterns.
In this episode, we discuss movement patterns and their relationship to the nervous system: how your nervous system manifests in movement, why understanding movement pathways is important and how we can use that knowledge to create ways of moving and riding that optimise harmony and health.
I hope you enjoy it! If you want to learn and explore more, we expand on these understandings in my membership program JoyRide. You can learn more by visiting www.confidentrider.online/joyride.
Enjoy!
❤️ Jane
