EQUINE YOGA & FITNESS

Equine-Assisted Therapeutic Yoga classes integrate mindfulness practices, spirituality, and yoga positioning facilitated by the motion of our equine friends.  Horses, by nature, are very mindful and present and can help us find our own emotional, spiritual, and physical balance.  Communication through body language and position changes will help the rider feel a deeper relationship with their equine partner, which can lead to better communication and relationships with others.  In addition, this program can help riders of all physical abilities improve core strength and musculoskeletal balance and flexibility.  This program is centered around improving overall fitness, health, and wellbeing.

In 2023, Program Director Christina Coxe piloted a Yoga & Fitness class, which will continue to grow and develop throughout the year. In addition, we offer unmounted yoga classes with the horses, led by yoga instructor Cathy Girandola.
