Why Yoga with Horses?
Yoga with horses enriches the journey of self-discovery and healing. This practice can help us connect with nature, the land, and ourselves. Yoga teaches us to live in the moment while releasing expectations and judgement. Horses are sentient creatures, highly intuitive to energy and emotions. By learning how to understand our subtle energies, we begin to use our body language and breath to create a deeper relationship with the horses and ourselves. Whether you are new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, we hope you’ll enjoy this unique and fun experience!

Trauma and R+ with All Species
June 20, 1pm
Boggarts, Tarantulas, & Behavior Plans: Real-Life Counterconditioning
One-Hour Seminar for Trainers, Behavior Nerds, Parents, & Fearful Humans Alike
If only we could shout Riddikulus! and have our clients’ fear-reactive dogs instantly chill out. Unfortunately, behavior change takes a little more nuance—and no actual Boggarts allowed.
In this seminar, we’ll break down how to properly apply counterconditioning and desensitization (the real kind, not the “bribe them with hot dogs while they panic!” kind) to teach any animal to love something scary! And to prove our point, we’ll be live-desensitizing a human or pet to their very own Boggart.
Because behavior change is science— and when done right, it’s slow but magical.
Please, don’t expect a wand or flashy insta-video.
You’ll learn:
• The difference between counterconditioning, desensitization, and flooding (and why it matters)
• How to structure your sessions for success
• What “threshold” really means and how to spot it
• Why some dogs stall out—and how to tell if it’s fear, confusion, or learned helplessness
Whether you’re a trainer looking to sharpen your behavior chops or just want to laugh while learning, this seminar promises to be informative, practical, and fun!
$20 per person.
