Body Mind Equine™ – A Wellness Program for All Equestrians

Yoga – Horses – Travel – Empowerment

 

 

Welcome to Body Mind Equine™, where the journey of self-discovery and equestrian connection begins. Created by Cathy Woods, a pioneer in combining mindfulness and horsemanship, this program is designed for anyone looking to deepen their relationship with horses and themselves, regardless of their level of experience in riding or yoga. Our mission is to promote equestrian wellness through mindful equestrian practices, energy awareness, and holistic approaches.

My Mission: To make yoga and horsemanship accessible to everyone regardless of what that looks like for the individual. To support equestrians in their wellness journey and keep yoga authentic.

Maybe your yoga is chair yoga, and your horsemanship may simply be grooming your horse, or perhaps you’re an athlete who seeks mindfulness on the yoga mat and with your equine, or somewhere in between — either way, I’ll meet you where you are! – Cathy Woods

Most retreat locations provide horses! Just bring yourself and an openness to learn.
