Whoa-Ga! Eight Limbed Yoga for Horse/Rider Harmony

Few sports parallel each other the way riding and yoga do. The 'stillness in motion' of yoga equals the 'effortless effort' of riding. What we can learn in the yoga studio can easily be transferred to the saddle. Balance is the biggest key to riding. Our horses feel and react to every move we make when we ride them, however subtle. Yoga teaches us how to recognize the unbalanced errors and correct them before we get on the horse.

Cathy Reynolds' new program uses the similarities of yoga and riding to connect students to themselves with body awareness and meditation, and to their horses with new balance.
