Nature Yoga with Horses | Led by Kat Gregory, E-RYT

  • CHOICE Tribe LLC 23045 Alfalfa Market Road Bend, OR, 97701 United States (map)

Experience the tranquility of Nature Yoga amidst the centering and restorative presence of horses.

Nestled among ancient juniper trees and immersed in the serene sounds of horses grazing, this unique yoga practice invites you on a sensory exploration of the natural world to (re)connect with your innate capacity to cultivate your own well-being. The slow, intentional movements and asanas (yoga poses) enhance flexibility and body awareness, while pranayama (breathing techniques) fosters mindfulness and rhythm, paving the way for embodied understanding and intuition. In this balanced and harmonious state, you will merge with the life force energies around you and develop a profound connection with the horses and yourSelf.

The CHOICE Horse Herd co-facilitates this yoga practice, enhancing the flow of energy and breath for each participant. Horses, known for their natural ability to coregulate within their herds, help create a harmonious environment where everyone benefits. Within our practice circle, we share an interconnected "heart space" with the horses and each other. Research shows that the heart rhythms of horses can synchronize with ours, a phenomenon known as heart rate coherence. This synchronization helps balance cortisol levels, deepen and regulate our breath, and may release beneficial hormones like oxytocin and beta endorphins. This leads to a shift into a restful and restorative state, promoting a fluid and present mind.

This all-levels yoga practice combines Hatha Yoga, breathwork, meditation, and Ayurvedic theory designed to build strength, flexibility, and balance while grounding the mind/heart. Co-Facilitated by Kat Gregory, E-RYT and and Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor with Wise & Wild Yoga and Ayurveda the CHOICE Horse Herd.
