Why Yoga and Horses?

Yoga is meant to connect mind body using breath work. The poses allow us to release stuff we have physically hoarded into our bodies. They allow us to let go of emotional baggage also. So for example, when we say "don't worry about it, I am over it" and then it resurfaces 3 years later, then we have not let it go, then somewhere we have stored it in our bodies. Our neck and shoulders, our jaw if we grind our teeth, or hips.... In order to connect with the horses we have to first connect with ourself and that is what yoga allows us to do that. The horses allow us to take it one step further. They don't judge, they simply reflect what we are feeling. If we are anxious, they will let us know. We need to be grounded and calm when working side by side these majestic beings. So we will begin with yoga, breath work and poses, where I will show you how to cope with everyday stresses and how to read your mindbody. We will then connect with the selected horses and understand them and what they bring up for us. It is quite an experience. It is not about getting on a horse and riding it is about the connection within the stillness. I will look at injuries and modify the classes according to each student without one another knowing. Some people suffer from depression or anxiety, asthma, high blood pressure or have had physical injuries such as mine. I have a neck injury that happened back in 96. I want to reintroduce horse lovers to themselves and guide each one in sacred manner of connection, living, and learning:) I do hope you will attend. Please do not hesitate to ask any others or feel free to call me:) I can also provide references if you would like.Learn more about our upcoming Windhorse Retreats here.
