Basic Yields to build Laterals
In this video set, we will go through how to set up basic yields: backup, forward, hindquarters, shoulders, bend, and direction and how these basic yields can be layered to set up the foundation for our lateral movements i.e. shoulder-in, counter-shoulder-in, travers, and renvers on the ground and in riding.

Introduction to basic yields from the ground including:
- Backup from in front and from the side.
- Drawing forward from the front and going forward from the side.
- Creating a bend towards.
- Hindquarter yield away and towards.
- Shoulder yield away and towards.

Day 1 - Moon
Exploring and optimising the yields into the lateral movements of shoulder-in, haunches-in, and renvers in walk and trot. Then taking this into the yields on the lunge to build laterals on bigger circles. Also starting the canter transitions.
