Riding Level:
All levels welcome
Enjoy yoga and horses on a peaceful, scenic ranch near Steamboat, Colorado. Enjoy equestrian yoga, both mounted and unmounted, as well as guided trail rides, campfire dinners, and meet other equestrian yogis.
Equestrian Yoga is the practice of bringing more mindfulness and intention to your riding, stretching and strengthening before the ride (for both horse and rider), improving balance and flexibility, and deepening your connection with your horse, both on the ground and in the saddle.
Yoga isn’t just for the rider though - being a fitter, stronger, and more balanced rider is better for the health and happiness of your horse, and stretches for the horse provide many of the same benefits as similar poses provide for us. Equestrian yoga improves rider fitness, coordination, confidence, and balance by bridging the gap between strength and mobility, stabilizing the core, improving postural alignment, and calming the mind and nerves.
Equestrian Yoga is beneficial for horses and rider of all ages and abilities, can be tailored to any riding discipline, and requires no previous yoga experience.
Horses
Bring your own horse - Stalls are available on-site for riders bringing their own horse. Please read the Guest Horse Guidelines if you plan to bring your horse!
