Our Horse to Heart Equine-Led Yoga Facilitator Training Journey
The human-horse bond shaped the world we know today.
A partnership that fought together in wars, sowed endless horizons of fields with food, and helped create the cities, cultures, and countries we now call home.

Yet, despite all they sacrificed for humanity, horses have too often been reduced to tools within human agendas. In many ways, the story of horses echoes the story of women: bodies directed and controlled by others, purposes assigned, and their health and care maintained by a small minority, as they remain a perpetual afterthought in the very systems built upon their contributions.
This in-person certification is a different type of human-horse connection.
It is a path of mutual partnership, respect, and autonomy – where together, women and horse become one, to explore the profound personal and professional benefits of the evidence-based yoga, mind-body healing, and equine wellness. It's a journey that starts with an exploration into restructuring how we see yoga, and the equine relationship.
The Horse-Human, 8-Limb Immersion:
Our equine-led yoga and mind-body training does not involve riding, nor is it about using horses to serve a human agenda — it also extends far beyond Asana, the physical poses of yoga.
Instead, our Horse To Heart Equine Yoga Facilitation Teacher Training is a guided immersion through the holistic framework of yoga, experienced in partnership with horse teachers.
It is about deeply understanding the core mind-body and spiritual skills within the eight-limb yoga framework, and intuitively applying them depending on the needs of students, ourselves, and our equine partners — creating an interconnected, trauma-informed, mutually aligned experience of agency, healing, and growth. In this journey, we explore:
-
Yamas and Niyamas – We examine the power of Yamas and Niyamas as ethical, energetic, and behavioural practices. We learn the frameworks of these limbs of yoga, observe our equine partners displaying their practices, and in partnership with them, explore the art and science of boundaries, truth, self-compassion, cognitive flexibility, intentionality, contentment, and gratitude.
-
Asana & Somatic Movement – Asana, the poses within yoga, are powerful somatic tools for physical health, emotional management, and regulating the autonomic nervous system. We integrate these practices alongside our equine partners as a core pillar of this immersion.
-
Pranayama – This limb is focused on using breath to regulate our autonomic nervous system. Breathwork, in partnership with horses, creates a powerful outlet for co-regulation, calming, and emotional management.
-
Pratyahara – This limb is the practice of strategic sensory and energy withdrawal, which, when done with equine partners, can create incredible conditions to support overstimulation, energy management, and thought clarity.
-
Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi – These three limbs form the foundations of mindfulness, and exploring them alongside our equine partners creates a regulated learning environment to cultivate non-judgmental awareness, acceptance, both active and non-active meditative practices, and value-driven, not outcome-focused ambition — all supporting holistic wellbeing through intentional behavioural, mood, and thought management practices.
-
Within our 8-limb immersion, we also explore the transformative spiritual pathways of chakras, the fundamentals of Ayurveda, and the principles of doshas. We utilize expressive arts, natural immersion, and heart-led wellness to further cultivate deep healing, energy management, authentic expression, and self-trust — all supported by the majestic presence of our equine partners.

"I’ve had the privilege of experiencing many yoga classes and retreats, but none have compared to the transformative experience I’ve had under Tammy’s guidance."

Meet Your Yoga & Equine Partners
"Horses came into my life as a little girl and have been my greatest teachers for over four decades.
They’ve taught me courage, boundaries, resilience, presence, and the power of non-verbal truth. Through seasons of joy and hardship, they’ve been a steady mirror, inviting me to return to my authentic self.
From this lifelong relationship, our Horse to Heart Yoga certification was born. This training isn’t about mastering horses. It’s about learning to listen: to them, to the land, and to yourself. My intention is to create a space where women feel supported and empowered — and are provided an evidence-based, equine-led journey through the holistic power of yoga and mind-body skills to unlock transformation."

Our Teaching Approach
What is Trauma-Informed Yoga?
Trauma-informed yoga is a specialized approach to yoga and mind-body healing that recognizes and responds to the unique needs of people who have experienced trauma from any source — including mental, physical, environmental, relational, cultural, or societal challenges.
This approach focuses on physical and psychological stability, autonomy-focused spaces and training structure, pose adaptations, strategic language, and a deep attention to the autonomic nervous system, all to support the mind-body connection in a way that makes the experiences more accommodating to diverse health needs.
What is Equine-led Wellness?
Equine-Led Wellness is a holistic approach to mind-body growth and personal development that facilitates the presence, intelligence, and natural behaviours of horses as a mirror and guide. In our context, it is not about commanding, or using horses to achieve human agendas.
Instead, it focuses on:
-
Mutual partnership: cultivating a respectful, autonomous relationship between humans and horses.
-
Mind-body integration: applying the practices of the eight limbs of yoga, trauma-informed yoga principles, and somatic tools alongside equine partners.
-
Emotional and nervous system regulation: using breathwork, sensory awareness, and heart-centred co-regulation with horses to support psychological and physiological stability.
-
Regulated leadership and self-awareness: learning to observe and reflect, developing skills such as boundaries, ethical action, presence, and intentionality.
-
Holistic personal and professional transformation: fostering growth, self-trust, and authentic expression that can be applied in life, wellness, or professional contexts.
Together, these practices create an informed mind-body journey, rooted in authenticity, accommodations, empowerment, evidence-based skills, and the agency of both human and horse.

Find Her Peace Wellness Farm
Immersion in nature is a core component of our training methodology. Our rural setting with our horse teachers, lush greenery and isolated spaces creates a powerful platform for personal growth, reflection and peace.
Meta-analyses have linked immersion in nature with improved mood and cognitive functioning. Similarly, meta-analyses and studies have shown that being around horses reduces anxiety, fosters emotional growth, and improves overall mental health.
Horses embody much of what’s best in people: strength, curiosity, empathy and the ability to endure. Their mesmerizing presence coupled with the beauty of our farm creates a perfect environment for self-reflection and growth.
