New to Horses & Yoga?
You Don’t Need Experience.
Just Curiosity.
Many of our guests arrive with little or no experience with horses.
Some have never practiced yoga.
Some have never been on a horse.
Some feel excited. Others feel unsure.
All of that is welcome here.
You are not expected to know anything.
You are not expected to perform.
You are not expected to be flexible, confident, or “spiritual.”
You are simply invited to arrive as you are.
What Is Yoga With Horses?
It’s not acrobatics.
It’s not riding lessons.
It’s not talk therapy.
Yoga with horses is a practice of presence.
Through breath, awareness, and gentle movement, you learn to settle your nervous system and become more aligned in body and energy. Horses, being highly sensitive and perceptive animals, respond to subtle shifts in posture, breath, and emotion, they relax more - the more you commit to the practice, the deeper your connection with self and horse.
When you slow down, they notice.
When you soften, they feel it.
When you are present, they meet you there.
The experience often feels grounding, clarifying, and deeply calming.
Do I Need Yoga Experience?
No.
Classes are adaptable and steady.
There is no pressure to push or achieve.
Whether you are brand new or have practiced for years, you will be supported at your own pace.
Do I Need Horse Experience?
No.
You will not be asked to ride unless you choose to in specific programs.
Most of our work happens on the ground, at liberty, meaning the horses are free to move and engage voluntarily.
Our herd lives barefoot and bitless, trained through connection rather than force.
You’ll be guided safely and respectfully at every step.
What Is the Purpose of This Work?
At its heart, this is about reconnection.
Reconnection to:
• Your body
• Your breath
• Nature
• A sense of steadiness within yourself
Horses live in the present moment.
Being around them invites us back into that state.
From there, clarity tends to arise naturally.
Where Should I Begin?
If you’re new or simply want a contained introduction, the best starting point is a Petite Retreat.
Flexible 1–2 night stays.
A gentle structure.
A way to experience the land and the herd without committing to a longer immersion.
