Unlock Calm, Alert Focus in the Saddle with Hakalau
Ever feel yourself holding your breath, or gripping or tightening the reins when your horse tenses up? In this episode of Over the Oxer, we explore Hakalau, an ancient Hawaiian vision technique that shifts your state in seconds.
By expanding your peripheral vision, you immediately signal your parasympathetic nervous system to take over. The result? You drop physical tension, gain incredible spatial awareness and cultivate a calm, present state that your horse will instantly feel.
In this episode, you will learn:
What Hakalau is and why tunnel vision triggers panic in the saddle
The simple step-by-step process to access peripheral vision on horse-back
How activating your parasympathetic nervous system improves your timing and balance
Practical ways to use Hakalau across all disciplines: hacking, trail riding, flatwork, dressage, and jumping
