Yin and yang describe distinct qualities of energy that, when balanced, create a peaceful and tranquil state of bliss. From the Taoist philosophy, they represent the opposing forces that constantly interflow. Taoism teaches us to find balance in these opposing forces through our interactions with all things.
Many traditional training practices focus on what we can make the horse do, which represents the yang element of horsemanship. Yin Horsemanship clinics focus on listening, responding, allowing, and offering relaxation and restoration. These unique clinics combine hands-on techniques and groundwork to release tension in mind and body and facilitate fluidity and ease of movement, creating a harmonious connection between horse and human. In partnership with bodyworker Deb D’Amato, these clinics will teach you hands-on practices that can be done from the ground to help your horse feel better and improve performance in any discipline.
