Hi, I'm Jess,
Certified Functional Breathwork Instructor, rider, and creator of Rider Pilates Club
Do you ever get out of breath when you ride?
You are NOT alone!
Â
You should have heard me trying to talk after finishing a showjumping round, or even just jumping a simple school exercise - eek!
Â
Did you know that most people have (at least slightly) dysfunctional breathing?
Finally - the real help you need is here!
âś“ No, you don't need to 'get fitter'
âś“Â No, trying to remember to breathe isn't going to help you
âś“Â No, taking big deep "belly breaths" isn't going to fix it and can actually make it worse
All of that is well-meaning advice, because it's a problem so many riders, and so many coaches, want to solve!
But it misunderstands some really important things about how breathing actually works in the body and brain
The exciting news is:
Â
âś“ Yes YOU can get big improvements!
âś“ Yes, it takes MUCH less time than you think (each practice takes just minutes)
âś“Â Yes, it takes MUCH less effort than you think
What you will get:
Â
âś“Â Short, simple guided functional breathing exercises, which only take a few minutes and many of which you can do while also doing something else in your busy day
Â
âś“ Super quick (a couple of minutes) and easy (but very powerful!) stretches and muscle activations to transform your breathing biomechanics
Â
âś“ Guided techniques you can use ON your horse to improve your suppleness, feel much more stable, calm your nerves
How the course works:
Â
âś“Â The course begins on Monday 3rd February and runs until the end of May 2025
Â
✓ It's structured into two phases of six weeks with a gap in between if you need to catch up
Â
✓ New content is released once a week during each of those six-week phases
Â
✓ The gap between phases is called the 'Catch Your Breath' weeks. There are three 'Catch Your Breath' weeks after Phase One and three more at the end of Phase Two - use these weeks to catch up if needed or to integrate the exercises into your normal routines so that you can choose the best habits for you, and embed them for life (with my support)
Â
âś“Â Audio downloads of the breathing exercises and on-horse techniques will be downloadable for you to keep forever!
Â
✓ (Access to the videos ends at the end of the course, BUT you'll be expert at the exercises by then because they're so simple)
Guided exercises which only take a few minutes, to do at whatever time of day suits you
Audio downloads of the key breathing exercises are yours to keep forever!Â

How it works
Flexible, Convenient, Big Value
➔ Short, achievable videos and audio released once a week for two 'phases' of six weeks
 ➔ Three 'Catch Your Breath' weeks in between those phases & again at the end (plus special end of course webinar!)
âž” Quick functional breath training exercises to train your body's biochemistry
âž” Quick and simple VERY powerful exercises to transform your breathing biomechanicsÂ
âž” Audio downloads of the key exercises are yours to keep forever!Â
âž” Pay once now or in low monthly instalmentsÂ
Â
This program works because:
âž” It retrains your body's lost abilities to handle the biochemistry of breathing Â
➔ It brings back the lost biomechanical abilities your body was born with for great breathing, which modern human life causes us to lose
âž” It works WITH your body's instincts and abilities, whereas trying to 'just remember to breathe' on your horse is actually making things worse for your nervous systemÂ
➔ It's bespoke for riders and our needs for the right kind of relaxation (physical as well as psychological), our much needed stability in the saddle AND the specific demands of equestrian activitiesÂ
Your Questions Answered
Will I need any equipment?Â
None at all. Â
When does the course run and how long will I have access?Â
Phase One begins on Monday 3rd February. New content is released once a week on Mondays for 6 weeks, then we have three 'Catch Your Breath' weeks for you to catch up if needed, or to consolidate your favourite exercises into your routine from Phase One (with my support). Phase Two begins on Monday 7th April. new content is released once a week on Mondays for 6 weeks, again. Then we have three more 'Catch Your Breath' weeks as before, plus a special end of course webinar at the end!Â
Audio downloads of the key breathing exercises you need to make this a success for life are yours to keep forever. The video access ends at the end of the course, but you won't need it by then as you have the audio downloads and the biomechanical exercises are very simple so you'll be expert at them by then!Â
My life is pretty hectic. Will I be able to fit it in?Â
Most of the exercises take just minutes to do and lots of the breathing exercises can be done while you do other things in your busy day, too, if you like.Â
I have asthma / COPD, can I do the course?
Yes!
I get panic attacks, can I do the course?Â
Yes there may be some exercises you want to skip if they don't feel good to you but overall this will help you, and we have some specific techniques for you coming up in Phase Two too.Â
I am pregnant, can I do the course?Â
You could, but you'd be a bit limited in the exercises you can do. So to be honest you'll get much more out of it if you come back it when your baby's arrived (and you've caught up on some sleep and can remember what day it is!!) With this in mind I do NOT include adaptations for people who are beyond 12 weeks pregnant on this course.Â
What if I need help with an exercise?Â
This is exactly what the live Q&As are for! When you join you'll get access to the course members' live Q&As where you can send me a question and I can talk you through / demo things for you.
Your prices are in GBP (British Pounds), can I join from another country?Â
Yes! We have members from all over the world! When you join your card /Â the checkout will do the conversion in the background for you using your card's own conversion rate.Â
