Yoga & Horse Experience

Why not try something else?
Enjoy to remember!

9-16th of May 2020
12-19th of September 2020

Sun Dance Ranch organises an unique Yoga retreat combined with a deeper level of horse connected activities.

This will be something special with a special program!

Every morning there will be yoga before breakfast and yoga or meditation at 4pm. The days are filled with a wonderful program with yoga & meditation, working in/with the herd, a lot of luxary but also time to relax and integrate the processes that are going on in your body.
There are some horse activities included or you can explore the surroundings. Or you can just relax and load up your energy level.

We are supported in this all through the inspiring environment of the Sun Dance Ranch in Sweden where a herd of about 20 horses live in freedom all year round on about 20 hectares of meadows and forests. The perfect accomodation for a perfect yoga & horse week!

Yoga
We do yoga to train the body and mind, to find an inner peace and to find a deeper connection within. We do all classes together and you can see the directions as a suggestion. Because the teacher can only guide you, you have to adjust where you are at the time. Yoga is playful and its fun. I can give you all the tools and support you need in your practice but remember that you have to do the work.
Welcome to a week of joy and harmony!

Hatha/vinyasa yoga
In this class we are going to combine flow with stability. Starting with meditation and some breathing techniques to find a deeper connection to yourself. Moving through different positions in a guided flow in combination with still and steady poses. Increase your strength, flexibility and stability. You also train your mind to be calm, focused and concentrated in the present moment.

Meditation class
During this class we are going to practice different meditation and breathing techniques. All classes are guided and we are going to try both meditation in stillness and in movement to embrace the full experience of what meditation is.

Yin yoga
This is a yoga form that is calm and relaxing. We hold the position in a longer time and therefore we can really relax the whole body. Connecting and stretching not only the muscles but also the connective tissue, joints, ligament and skeleton. Its a soft and gentle yoga that everyone can do and enjoy.

Horse yoga
During the week we will try horse yoga which we do together with and on the horse. This provides an opportunity for deeper connection with your horse and with yourself. To share the experience, the love and playfulness with your horse. Similar to a yoga class on the ground but we will do adjusted positions on and with the horse in a calm and steady pace.
