About James
– An unlikely leading edge riding teacher, James Shaw started out life as a passionate surfer and martial arts student in Long Beach, California.
James Shaw is a new kind of riding teacher dedicated to helping people transform themselves and their riding by bringing forth a new paradigm in our physical connection to the horse which is a door way into complete connection, mind, body and spirit. This is a path to Mastery, the elusive harmonious, fluid connection we all dream of but for centuries has remained in the hands of a select few.
James’ unique ‘Ride from Within’ system has been developed over 20 years of observing and teaching riders of all levels and disciplines. It has evolved into a complete body of work that helps the rider on every level; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, stripping away the mystery of ancient and almost forgotten knowledge so that it can be learned and applied by everyone today.
This system is based on James’ unique perspective of how the human body can best and most efficiently deal with the greater forces of nature and the horse physically, by using the body differently to how we have been taught and on all other levels, by developing internal awareness to develop ‘feel’ and sensitivity and the ability to be conscious in our riding. This powerful and transformative knowledge dissolves personal blocks to our Mastery of riding physically, mentally and emotionally.
