"Dave's courses have catapulted my riding in a direction that I am very happy with - and I am much more supple in my body, both when riding and in my daily life."
Your partnership is about to reach a new level.
Start a DTM Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement course or program today!
Dave Thind Method is the breakthrough combination of Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® and the German classical training system.
With DTM, you’ll awaken your body’s innate ability to ride softer, with greater feel and better results.
Say goodbye to the aches and pains that you may have accepted as "normal".
You’ll learn how to release the physical and mental tension, as well as “over-effort” that blocks the full expression of your horse’s talent.
The Feldenkrais Method® is a way of using movement to improve the function of the nervous system and the brain. We're not just working on the body, we're working on the brain-body connection. We're helping people to move more efficiently, more easily, with less effort.
I love the DTM focus on the pelvis which research shows is the key to riding success. His lessons will help all of us to reach our full potential in the saddle."
- Dr. Hilary Clayton, Veterinarian, Researcher and Rider
DTM has helped me finally find freedom from chronic hip and back pain. Plus the method has improved my seat and feel like no amount of lunge lessons could have done. So incredibly grateful."
- Carol C., Adult Amateur
This method makes total sense. It is based on a solid foundation in German classical riding and uses innovate ideas from the field of neuro-muscular programming, more specifically the Feldenkrais Method. Traditionally, longe lessons and school masters played a large role in teaching a rider about feeling and the correct seat. These days, people don't easily have access to longe lessons or true schoolmasters. This is what makes Dave’s work so great!"

What Riders Are Saying
I have experienced so many revelations from this class, so much richness reaped; it has truly opened my eyes, heart and senses to other ways of being in relationship physically, mentally, and emotionally with myself and with my horses.
- Candace Platz, DVM & Grand Prix Rider, USA.
This is helping my riding so much. Today I had fantastic rides on both my boys. After a DTM lesson last night, I felt very free and fluid in my whole body and this is how the horses felt today. Today was the best canter work I have ever got with him I really felt that my upper body was moving properly with the rest of me. I got the most amazing trot too, piaffe and passage. He loved it. Everything felt very easy and effortless
- Sharon E., U.K.
I am really surprised at the feeling I have in my body since the first lesson. I was surprised to realize that my right hip was higher and in front of my left one. Now after 3 lessons, I have the feeling that it is almost equal! And in the saddle, I am better in the canter and have never felt so straight!
- Caroline Genois, Canada
My riding has improved! My greener mare is now welcoming my rein connection better. I am now able to support her, with light hands! It seems like I can relax my pelvis better and my hands seem to feel the reins differently now. I feel too, that my anxiety is getting more under control.
