Yoga and horseback riding are as ancient and classical as horsemanship itself.
The word Yoga is an ancient Sanskrit word, meaning “union” referring to the balance between body, mind, and spirit.
Yoga promotes awareness and stillness, two main areas that apply to equestrians. Awareness of the body position on a horse is greatly improved by practicing yoga off the horse and can enhance a riders performance. Stillness is being able to accept your riding ability, learning process, and body position without criticizing yourself. Being attentive to the moment and movement allowing you to connect with the horse.
