Learn to connect with horses through Spiritual Horsemanship, a practice built on trust that forges a deep bond. With this internship, you’ll learn the language of the horse by connecting more deeply with your own mind and body. You will attend classes on yoga and horses in a safe place that brings you closer to nature and your true self. Soak up the peaceful jungle farm energy, slow your racing thoughts and discover the stillness within. Kindred Spirits is a safe place to unpack your burdens, so you can learn to let go of what holds you back and just be yourself, on a moment-to-moment basis. The heat, the nature, the animals, and of course the yoga, all contribute to becoming a calmer, more confident you.

Discover Alignment
of Horse and Self
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.
