Yoga for Equestrians on The Farm @ The Kentucky Castle

The benefits of practicing yoga extend to every aspect of horsemanship. Connect the mind, body, and soul to improve your riding skills with our Yoga for Equestrian series at The Farm at The Kentucky Castle. We are proud to offer this yoga series with our local partner, Elemental Yoga & Wellness.

You will be guided through a practice on the mat that is accessible to all levels of experience. Both on the mat and in the saddle, the practice of yoga can deepen our connection with our horses and improve the quality of every interaction.

Please kindly inform your instructor of any contraindications or any specific questions prior to class. We ask that our yoga students bring their own mat, props, water, and towel … and arrive at least 10 minutes before class.

This yoga class takes place in our white barn on The Farm at The Kentucky Castle. Please dress appropriately for the weather. Our Barn remains 10 degrees warmer than the outdoor temperature.
