Yoga Cowgirls Talk About The Tammy Pate Horse/Yoga Retreat

"That week changed the way I looked at fitness, riding, my body and my mind. Janice and Tammy gave me the tools to develop an inner awareness and balanced state of being that continues to help me overcome insecurity in the saddle and ride in harmony with my horse. Moreover they made me realize that living on a farm or a ranch is not just a lifestyle but a deeply rooted value system that, like the ancient art of yoga, influences how you see the world and relate to other people, animals and the land. By applying yoga principles to my rural Western horse life, I became a member of an elite group of women who call themselves "cowgirl yoginis."*

Women of all Ages and Abilities Are Welcome

"Some of my newfound comrades were yoga experts, like the tan, slim 30-year practitioner we tried not to envy, while others were expert riders (women from Colorado and Montana who brought their own horses). But others were career women or grandmothers who'd never been on either a yoga mat or a horse. We were united by a desire to get out and ride, feel great, and encourage one another at the same time."

What's a Cowgirl Yogini?

"What's a cowgirl yogini? She can be a lot of things, but the bottom line is that she incorporates yoga into her riding program, or vice versa, as Tammy's friend and fellow yoga instructor, Janice, did at The Home Ranch. A yogini might be a mature horsewoman who is trying to remain limber despite the inevitable toll that aging takes on a person's suppleness, or she might be a ranch wife curious about yoga and wishing to hone her riding skills, as well. Or, a cowgirl yogini might be a novice horsewoman determined to use all the tools at her disposal, including yoga, to become a better rider. A yogini can even be a cancer survivor, who, during treatment, discovered the combination of disciplines helped her better focus on her horsemanship program-one of the few things over which she still had control in a world otherwise gone awry.

What is Equestrian Yoga and How Can it Improve My Horsemanship?

Equestrian yoga is an integral and ﬂowing Hatha Yoga practice that addresses the speciﬁc postures and movements of the equestrian's body. This gentle practice brings the rider to a more balanced state of being, and communicates a gentle strength that horses respond to naturally. You and your horse will connect with a deeper understanding and level of trust. So whether you've been riding all of your life, or you've always wanted to ride, this retreat will give you the tools, guidance, and support to work through your limitations and realize a more joyful riding experience.
