Stable Yoga Academy

Nervous System, Connection and Biomechanics Education for Horses and Their Riders.

Ride with confidence, clarity and connection.

This is a program designed to help both horses and their riders go from tense, stuck and disconnected to confident, connected and effective to make riding fun again.

Stable Yoga Academy is a horse and rider performance program designed to help you ride with confidence, clarity, and connection – by addressing the one thing most riders overlook: the nervous system.

If you’ve ever felt tense, anxious, stuck, or like you know what to do but can’t quite execute it in the saddle, you’re not alone – and it’s not just a training issue. It’s a body and nervous system issue.

Inside the Academy, we combine nervous system regulation, horse and rider biomechanics, and practical riding application to help you create real, lasting change in how you feel and perform with your horse.

This is a method.

1. Settle: Calm your nervous system.
2. Soften: Release tension in your body.
3. Trust: Rebuild trust with yourself and your horse.
4. Ride: Take confident action in the saddle.

Whether you’re dealing with nerves, frustration, lack of progress, or simply want to feel more connected and confident, Stable Yoga Academy gives you the tools to change not just how you ride – but how you experience riding.

Because better riding doesn’t start with your horse.

It starts with you, your understanding and your ability to feel.

Student Testimonials

I am not even exaggerating when I say I wake up every day in pain. Usually from my hips, neck or back. Last week I woke up so stiff I was basically crippled. It takes a good 30-60 minutes to work out the kinks. Today is the first time in I cannot even tell you how long I work up without any discomfort anywhere! From one session! That alone will keep me coming back to your class.

Tuesdays class really helped me tremendously. I'm definitely hooked on your yoga!

Yoga was amazing tonight - thank you! I could do that every day and my body would be much happier!

You are an amazing dressage coach, but an exceptional yoga teacher. The way you can relate yoga poses to riding and feel is like nothing I've ever experienced.

I did a virtual class last night and it was great! I highly recommend giving it a try.

Your online Stable Yoga has been a game changer for me and my herd!
