In
this full-day clinic, riders will learn
basic yoga techniques, as well as groundwork and mounted exercises,
to enhance their partnership with their horses. Unlock your ability
to move with your horse, and find balance together! No yoga
experience is needed. Riders
of any discipline are welcome!
Breathing
more freely and clearing the mind of
distractions can help you feel more
relaxed
and less tense while on the horse. By
reducing physical and mental tension, we can give clearer aids and
achieve greater freedom of motion.
Learn to use your body and breath to inspire your horse!
