When I’m not having fun in the clinic, I’m often having fun on my yoga mat… or the back of a horse.
About 4 years ago I was feeling pretty stiff and crotchety. I couldn’t even touch my own toes. So I decided to take one yoga class a week to see if I could loosen up a bit. I started in a class that was mainly comprised of people over the age of 70. I enjoyed it so much that I added a second class. After a few months, I began to challenge myself more and take different types of yoga classes all over town. Before I knew it, I was a yoga addict.
As my two daughters got to be a little older, we found a sport that combined our mutual love of horses and tumbling around in the yard: Equestrian Vaulting.
As the oldest member of the team by a great many years, I can tell you that vaulting is really, really challenging, but also rewarding and super fun. The kids who do it cheer each other on and are team players. In addition, there’s a great sense of love between girl and horse. But what has been really incredible for me is taking my work on the yoga mat to a new place and learning to push through fear. Improvement takes time, patience and perseverance. But the things we work diligently for are often the most rewarding.
We have made this into a family sport that we all share together.
