Learning Experience
Registered Yoga Alliance School & Teachers
This Program is an immersive experience that combines these two disciplines to bring you a unique journey towards self-awareness and peace.
Location: Cocles de Talamanca, Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast.
Focused on: Honouring the truth of horses, and the truth of the human. Learning the language of horses while working on the self. Learning to perceive and channel your energies and those of the horse. Adopting a holistic view of equine yoga, and life with horses as a yogi. Becoming a more confident, refined leader for the horse.
Aligned Horsemanship is: Liberty Training, Yoga, Natural Horsemanship, Dressage as Yoga for Horses, Bitless (with knowledge of how to use bits when unavoidable), Bareback, Riding with the Breath, Barefoot Horses and more.
Aligned Horsemanship is becoming Aligned with your horse, Aligned with yourself, Aligned with life. Discovering that deep connection that we all desire to feel. Each human searches for connection, connection to others, and connection to Self.
Through the 4 Pillars of Aligned Horsemanship you will discover more about yourself and begin to learn the language of the horse and how to connect with them through your body language, your intention, your breath and also on the subtler levels of energy.
Our program integrates liberty training principles, breath and body language communication, subtle energy alignment, positive reinforcement, and holistic equine care & understanding.
Horses are very sensitive to these energies, when we become attuned to this we can connect with them through the subtler levels which in turn bring us into a deeper connection with all of life. Nothing is separate, we have just become separate through how we perceive life, but when we removes these masks and become connected to our true nature, we then see everything as connected, this is Union, this is Yoga, this is Life.
Each intern can use the shared kitchen with other interns and students. There is a local supermarket down the road. Vegetables, herbs, and fruit are available, depending on the season, and are shared from Kindred Spirits' own farm. Local Saturday Farmers Market in the town of Puerto Viejo.
