NO HORSE RIDING will take place. NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY TO FULLY ENJOY THIS OPPORTUNITY.
Upon arrival, you will spend time just hanging out with the horses in their various spots on the farm, landing in the environment and transitioning into the welcoming energies of the property. After some time in transition, feeling more connected to the land and the horses, you will experience the sublime energy of hanging out with horses, while practicing fully accessible chair yoga, in an open air, shady space.
Stage Road Farm is a unique space which invites therapeutic interaction with horses and specializes in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. Horses (who, by the way, are never ridden, only loved and cared for like our own domesticated cats and dogs) are comfortably in our midst, with specialized attention and facilitation, so that all are safe and at ease. Our yoga practice grounds us while the equine presence and loving energy supports a deeper access to our breath and the present moment.
A guided meditation wraps up our journey with the horses.
Ages 8 and up are welcome for this Special Mother's Day Event.
You won’t regret taking time on a Sunday afternoon to experience something completely different!
Join us for this unique opportunity!
This JOYFUL collaboration of Healix Yoga and Stage Road Farm in Guilford, VT will take place
SUNDAY, May 12th
1:30PM - 3:30PM
Spaces are limited.
Pre-registration necessary!
The fee for this unique opportunity is only $45. Bring a buddy (as young as 8) and pay $80 for both of you.
We'll gather in sacred circle in the shady grove, by a babbling brook by the horses paddocks, where therapeutically trained horses generously share their space with us. Healix yoga's Emily Wiadro will lead a gentle and fully accessible yoga practice in chairs. Susan Manning will facilitate the horses as they, too, experience our yoga practice. There are full size horses, as well as mini horses, as seen above.
Our time will be spent with the horses, from start to finish. Our practice will include time in silence observing and interacting with the horses. Our chair based yoga practice will include simple poses and breathing practices. We'll play with some toning of our voices and wrap up our practice with a guided meditative journey. All experienced from the comfort of your seat...
There will be short breaks for transitions and opportunity to enjoy a beverage and light snack. Join us for this unique experience in nature. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!
