This yoga class is best suited for beginners, individuals recovering from injury or illness, or those wanting to practice gentle meditation and yoga in the presence of horses.

This 4-week class offers an energetic and light-hearted practice to develop strength, flexibility, and balance, while steadying the mind. One or more of our horses will be present as co-facilitators in deepening the flow of energy and breath individually and collectively. Horses naturally do this for each other in their herds; what benefits one, benefits all as they coregulate each other. When we are in our circle, we are all within overlaying fields or “heart space” with the horse and each other. Studies have shown that the heart space of horses “speak" to ours, known as heart rate coherence. Our hearts fall into regulated rhythm with theirs, allowing our cortisol levels to even out, deepen and regulate our breath, and in some cases release oxytocin and beta endorphins. This allows us to shift into our parasympathetic ("rest and digest”) system and experience restorative benefits and a present focused mind. All of this without the need to do anything other than breathe and allow your body to shift, flow and move as it requests. 

Classes may take place outdoors, weather permitting, or in our indoor (soft sand) arena. Chairs will be available to use for balance, modified standing poses, or modified seated poses. You are encouraged to bring your own mat or towel; however, we do have a limited number of mats available for use.

No riding is involved, so horse experience is not necessary.
