The Embodied Series

Service Description

The embodied series is a 4-part workshop held on the first Sunday of the month at Gugan Park, in Tirrannaville, near Goulburn. The series is designed to support a small group of horses and their humans dive deeper into their connection through yoga-facilitated learning and body awareness, liberty sessions and play. There will be yoga, time on the ground, and time on horseback if appropriate for you. There is a different theme for each Sunday, with each class building on the previous sessions to result in 4 weeks of gentle development in a supportive, nurturing environment. Sunday 7 September Saraswati Dialogue with Horses An introduction to the art of liberty, and using body language and energy to convey ideas to horses. Sunday 5 October Krishna Learning through Play Getting acquainted with your horse at their core, and inspiring learning with understanding and joy. Sunday 2 November Shiva Honouring the Past On the Day of the Dead, Dia de los Muertos, we will pay respects to horses and horse people past, let go of old habits & create space for new ideas. Sunday 7 December Ganesh Overcoming Obstacles with Wisdom + Creativity Bringing together the lessons from the three previous sessions, we will approach physical and emotional obstacles - and enjoy time with our horses out in the playground. This series is for horsepeople who have an open mind, are prepared to be silly and have fun, who are curious about a more conscious path to horsemanship, who want to understand their horses at a deeper level, who want to truly enjoy the time spent with their horses and feel that the horse is equally enjoying that time, too. This series will host just a small group of five supportive horsepeople to ensure a comfortable space for exploration. No prior yoga or liberty experience is required. Each Sunday is comprised of a one hour group yoga session tailored to the day’s learnings, followed by a 2 hour group session with horses. After lunch we meet again for one-on-one coaching sessions. These individual sessions will be 40 minutes in length, and open to the other participants for spectating. At the end of the series, each participant will get a workbook containing the yoga sessions for home practice and summaries of each stage of the development journey. Tea, coffee, and light refreshments are also included. The cost for this series is $700, making each clinic $175 inclusive of tuition, ground fees and yards. There are only five spots available.
