Just wanted to say thanks again and keep up the wonderful work. I was just working on the ‘integrating the legs’ session, and the recording, like so many others of yours, is so in tune with the struggles and sensations one has in doing the exercises, that even without being visually or actually present, it’s like being in a real ATM class! And the benefits have been outstanding. Much appreciated.
This is music to my ears — great reassurance that I’m doing what I intend to do! So glad you’re finding value, and thanks also for the donation!
I really reiterate what Mike said, above. I love your work, Nick! I appreciate the depth of understanding you have of the Fkrs method, and your guidance in the ATMs. I’ve been doing lessons with various (good!) people, for over 30 years, and i am finding LOTS new in my body from your lessons. (I am 69, have had 2 hip replacements, and basically function pretty well for my age. I ride my horse at a professional level 5 times a week.) Some bits of me want to stiffen up, but these lessons are helping me improve my function, even at my advanced age. I know i’m improving, because “my horse is my mirror” (to use a phrase that has been used before!), and the better i sit and differentiate my body, the smoother and more “beautifully” my mare moves!
This is all so lovely to hear – thanks for sharing your experience! “My horse is my mirror” is somehow a line I haven’t picked up yet from all the equestrians I’ve had the privilege of working with, but I love it. It really summarizes the beautiful sensitivity I’ve experienced with them. Thanks for listening and please spread the word!
