Exciting news! I wrote a blog post for Manduka with a topic that's close to my heart: Yoga for Equestrians. Since I know that it can be hard to just practice 'random' poses, I've put together a short 15 minute Yoga video to help you get onto your mat!
Curious to learn about Yoga poses that are beneficial for horse riders? Then head over to Manduka to read the blog post! I'm particularly happy that my horse Bellevue has made it onto the header image – I'm lucky that we have had 15 amazing years together. I'm glad that I could honor her this way.
Yoga for Equestrians with Melanie
As equestrians, we prioritize our horses’ well-being but often neglect our own. Adding yoga to our routine can improve both riding performance and personal health. In this Manduka blog post, Melanie shares the benefits of yoga for equestrians, including a step-by-step guide and a 15-minute practice for horse riders.

I'm so happy to work with Manduka on this topic! I've been using their mats since 2021 and even though we took them to the beach, onto stones and into the forest, they still look like new – despite practicing on them every day.
