Because they are prey animals, horses have a keen capacity to sense energy. They mirror what we humans bring to our communication and interactions. This unique class allows you to experience the power of being in the presence of horses, without actually riding a horse. As you are seated in chairs, certified yoga instructor Jena Sawyer will lead you through yoga and meditation. The horses from Zuma’s Rescue Ranch will be at liberty (loose), free to wander in and out of the circle, while Jena keeps an eye on your safety and comfort level. Jena has a Master’s in education with a background in training, development and life coaching. She will facilitate discussion to deepen your self-awareness and insight. Leave with a sense of peace and inner strength. Class is held in a covered, open-air barn. $46 Non-Member $34 Member LITTLETON : Santa Fe & W.
