 Pilates for the Dressage Rider DVD
Dulak.
While they use different terms, both Pilates and dressage share an emphasis on the torso, or "Powerhouse" in Pilates-speak, and achieving core strength, good posture and muscle flexibility. The goals of a Pilates program are often identical to what riders try to achieved in the saddle in the sport of dressage.
The DVD shares three basic goals: to give the rider an introduction to Pilates and basic workout to do at home or on the horse, to help the rider understand and gain control over the engagement of her own spine, and to guide the rider toward using the knowledge gained through the practice of Pilates to help her find new ways to use her body to improve her riding.

 Nine Pilates Essentials for the Balanced Rider A Magic Circle Workout DVD
Dulak. In this all new DVD, popular Pilates instructor and dressage rider Janice Dulak breaks down the body into nine essential "parts" that riders often are not even aware they have, let alone actively engage and use. And yet, these nine essentials are the key to "speaking" to your horse with sophistication and eloquence. By using the body like a dancer would, and by incorporating the "Magic Circle" exercise ring in a series of exercises, riders get a workout that targets and trains these specific and very important muscles and muscle groups in ways that will instantly apply to their riding.
Janice Dulak has trained in Pilates since 1989 and has been riding dressage since 1995. She is the author of the popular book and DVD Pilates for the Dressage Rider and teaches in clinics throughout the country. Dulak's studio, The Dulak Pilates Center, is located in Champaign, Illinois.
