Equestrian Yoga
Equestrian Yoga integrates an ancient tradition into modern life, deepening the connection with both yourself and your horse by combining the principles of yoga with the movement and energy of your horse.
With poses practiced both on and off your horse, including hip openers, shoulder stretches, deep twists, and lateral stretches, you’ll find improved strength, flexibility, and balance. Stretches designed for the horse mirror those for the rider. Breathing with intention brings clarity and awareness to your own body, while strengthening the bond with your horse.
Equestrian Yoga complements any riding discipline and is suitable for horses and riders of all ages and abilities. No previous yoga experience is required. Provided modifications and variations make equestrian yoga accessible to all. Both yoga and riding are timeless studies – explorations of self-discovery and growth. Enjoy the journey!
Check out the Ashva Yoga YouTube Channel for some videos.
THE SAFETY OF BOTH HORSE AND RIDER IS ESSENTIAL to good horsemanship and should be observed at all times.
Slow Flow Hatha Yoga
Hatha yoga refers to a set of physical exercises (known as asanas or postures). Slow Flow Hatha combines a slower-paced flow of asanas with emphasis on correct alignment. Hatha yoga is a path toward creating balance and uniting opposites. In our physical bodies we develop strength and flexibility. We also learn to balance effort and surrender in each pose.
Hatha yoga is a powerful tool for self-transformation. It asks us to bring our attention to our breath, which helps us to still the mind and be more present in the unfolding of each moment. Suitable for all levels.
