General Admission

Summer carries a vibrant, fiery energy&mdash;full, fast, and often demanding. This afternoon retreat invites you to pause within it. To arrive, rather than rush. To reconnect, rather than push through. Set on the peaceful grounds of Hold Your Horses, this experience blends mindful movement, the intuitive presence of horses, and the subtle power of sound to support awareness, connection, and restoration. 🧘 A 50-minute yoga practice, rooted in Hatha and slow Vinyasa, opens the body through breath, mobility, and steady strength&mdash;accessible to most able bodies and designed to help you settle in. 🐴 You&rsquo;ll then step into a guided equine experience, with the option to engage through touch or simply observe. Horses meet us without expectation, offering a quiet mirror that invites presence and awareness. 🔊 The afternoon closes with a sound meditation led by JennieRuth. The vibrational frequencies of sound healing instruments move through the body&mdash;through skin, fluid, and bone&mdash;supporting deep relaxation and a sense of recalibration. Weather permitting, the full experience will be held outdoors, immersed in the natural beauty of the property. In case of inclement weather, an alternative date will be provided. If this doesn&#39;t work for your schedule, a credit will be placed on file for you to use at a later time.&nbsp; Details:June 27 | 1:00&ndash;4:00 PM$135 per personAges 11+No prior yoga or horse experience needed <div fr-original-style='font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; direction: ltr; font-family: "Bell MT"; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);' style='font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; direction: ltr; font-family: "Bell MT"; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.5; box-sizing: inherit;'> </div>BIOSYOGA, BREATH &amp; MEDITATION with BethBeth Claseman is the founder of Belle Shanti Yoga &amp; Wellness and a dedicated yoga teacher who is passionate about helping people return to themselves&mdash;one breath at a time. Her work is rooted in the belief that we don&rsquo;t need to become someone new, but rather remember who we are beneath the noise. Through breath, movement, and moments of stillness, she creates spaces that invite connection, clarity, and a sense of coming home. Beth&rsquo;s teaching is guided not only by movement, but by a deep awareness of the body&rsquo;s subtle energy. She weaves this into each experience&mdash;whether through dynamic flow, gentle practice, or restorative stillness&mdash;meeting people where they are and supporting both physical and energetic balance. Inspired by nature and the quiet wisdom of horses, her approach reflects a balance of grounded presence and intuitive guidance. She believes that healing happens when we slow down enough to listen, and that within each of us is a steady place we can return to again and again.&nbsp;<a fr-original-style="" href="http://www.belleshantiyoga.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1778256634/wysiwyg/vpcyvajk9tcu9idhnmtv.png" style="width: 100px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto 5px 0px; text-align: left; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 100px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto 5px 0px; text-align: left;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">www.belleshantiyoga.com</a>&nbsp;Belle Shanti Yoga Instagram EQUINE EXPERIENCE with LoveayaLoveaya Magnus brings a lifelong connection with horses into every experience she creates. She has owned and worked with horses since the age of nine and has never been far from them, shaping a deep understanding rooted not just in training, but in observation, relationship, and respect for the herd. She holds a degree in Therapeutic Horsemanship and is an Advanced Certified Instructor through PATH International, as well as a mentor and Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning. Her approach blends professional expertise with a holistic perspective&mdash;believing that horses and nature offer a space where people can return to themselves. Much of Loveaya&rsquo;s learning has come directly from the horses&mdash;watching herd dynamics, noticing subtle communication, and allowing the horses to guide the experience. She is passionate about helping others connect with horses in this same authentic way. Horses have a unique ability to ground us, bring us into the present moment, and reflect what we carry&mdash;offering insight, calm, and connection without judgment. Through these retreats, Loveaya creates opportunities for people to slow down, tune in, and experience the quiet, powerful presence of horses in a way that is both meaningful and transformative.

We&rsquo;re honored you&rsquo;ll be joining us for an afternoon intentionally designed to slow the pace, reconnect with the present moment, and experience the restorative partnership between movement, horses, sound, and nature. Together, we&rsquo;ll move through a gentle yoga practice, spend time alongside our horses in guided reflection and connection, and close with a deeply grounding sound meditation. Whether you come seeking rest, clarity, connection, or simply space to breathe, we hope this experience offers a meaningful pause within the fullness of summer. If weather allows, the retreat will take place fully outdoors on our peaceful property, so we encourage you to dress comfortably, bring layers if needed, and prepare to settle into the rhythms of nature. Additional event details and any weather-related updates will be sent closer to the event date. In case of inclement weather, an alternative date will be provided. If this doesn&#39;t work for your schedule, a credit will be placed on file for you to use at a later time.&nbsp; We&rsquo;re truly looking forward to sharing this experience with you.
