Faith Shields
Retired Businesswoman and Equine Dressage Rider
Durango, Colorado

"I have been a client of Mind's Eye Movement Classical Pilates Studio and a student of Kimberly McKnight since 2008. I originally went to her Studio to have her continue my Pilates training on an individual basis. I was in my early 70's at the time and wanted to continue my active lifestyle for many more years. I'm an equine Dressage rider and with Kimberly's personalized approach, she learned enough about riding to provide a program that is intrinsic to the sport.

In fact, Pilates is the perfect training tool for any equestrian. In Dressage, the rider must move so intimately with the horse, the ride becomes a dance. For this to happen, the rider must be able to feel every muscle and be able to work them independently at will. It is only fair if we ask our horses to be strong, flexible and balanced that we should also have robust muscle control to turn our own static weight into a dynamic influence. As Pilates training builds the foundation (or core muscles), the larger outer muscles can relax and work in harmony, rather than overworking and making movement strenuous.

Kimberly takes copious notes after each session, and builds on my progress during each class to plan for my next scheduled appointment. Through the years I have become stronger, and the core strength has been the reason for my continued improvement in riding and life in general. I am approaching my late life with confidence as I continue my work with Kimberly and Mind's Eye Movement Classical Pilates Studio."
