I’m so excited to get this conversation started that I couldn’t wait until next week to post again!
I’d love to know:
Where are you from?
Are you a horsey person? A yoga person? Both? Neither?
What’s your favorite thing in the whole wild world to do?
Anything in particular you’d be excited to see in this space?
I can’t wait to get to know you a bit!
(My intention moving forward is to send a free monthly newsletter, post weekly goodies for paying subscribers, and sprinkle in some discussion threads like this every once in a while for fun. ☺️ I know inboxes can be busy places these days, so I won’t bombard you - promise.)
I'll go first. I live in the beautiful Ozark Mountains in Northwest Arkansas. I love, love, love anything outside, especially if there's water around. And pizza. 😋 All the better if my family is there to share it with. I live with my husband, our two kids, and a smattering of animals: horses, dogs, cats, goats, fish... it can feel like a weird food chain around here! But we wouldn't trade it for the world.
I'm from South Florida but now call NW Arkansas home.
I'm definitely a horse and yoga person but I haven't made time for yoga in a few years.
My favorite thing is sitting at the beach just soaking up the sun and listening to the waves. A close second is RVing cross country with my husband and 3 kids.
I'd love to incorporate some yoga back into my life so I'm excited to hear more about your yoga journey!
I didn't know you were from Florida! My husband was born in St. Petersburg. I'm going to have a Saturday morning yoga class at the dance studio soon - I'll keep you posted. Also going to play with recording a class to post here sometime soon! 👍🏼
I live in Springdale, AR. Moved here four years ago from Cincinnati but grew up in El Paso, TX.
Definitely a horse person. Have always been interested in trying yoga but have never sat in on a class.
My favorite things to do include trail riding, traveling, and just being outside with my horses and animals. Sharing all those things with my husband and two kids makes it all even better.
I would love to participate in a yoga class and I will enjoy getting to know everyone a little better as we explore these topics that are still fairly new in the equine community.
Not in person! Just on YouTube or Gaia in my living room. 😂 I’m sure I would really enjoy your class! I need to make it happen one of these Saturday mornings.
I live in Fayetteville, AR. I love yoga and have really missed group classes this past year during the pandemic. I LOVE anything outside...hiking, biking, camping, taking my little one to the park. I'm excited to get to know everyone and learn more from you, Hannah! :)
I’m in Toronto, Canada. I have very little experience with horses in real life but love watching TV shows and movies that show gentle approaches to horse training (e.g. Heartland.) The only yoga I really like is the kind that gets me to relax in a bunch of different positions. Is that Hatha?
My favourite things all seem to combine art and spirituality: making creative altars, reading cards, singing chants, etc.
I’m happiest surrounded by the colour deep red.
I’m looking forward to stories about your work, your dreams on your property and and loving vicariously through your wilder existence as I dream my own way to one, too.
Oh, love that, Annie! You have a way with words. :) I bet you love restorative yoga - with the bolsters and eye pillows and stuff? I loooooove restorative yoga!
I am from Delaware but have been a Texan since 1994. I am a horsey person. I started riding at age 8 when my mom traded babysitting for riding lessons. I have dabbled in yoga but have struggled because I have Ehler’s Danlos syndrome which means I am hyper flexible and struggle with poses. That being said I do well with Pilates and meditation. My favorite thing in the whole world is being connected to the whole world. I love connection, with my horses, friends and family and humanity. I love food and wine and good times. I joined this space because when I met you Hannah, your energy was pure and kind and I am excited to see where you take this.
I feel the same way about you, Kathy! ☺️ I'm hypermobile (not the same as Ehler's Danlos, I'm sure), but going through a good yoga teacher training taught me soooooo much about how to do poses in a more safe, supported way. It was life-changing. When I eventually record a class to post here, I'll go through all those basics in case they'll help you too!
Good morning. I’m Brenda and I’m from Little Rock. I would like to become a yoga person. I say this because I think it could bring better mind and body connection, and improved strength and flexibility. I’m not a horsey person although I fully appreciate their beauty. I am a cat person but fully believe that a connection to animals brings great joy, comfort and companionship. If your connections are to horses then I think I’ll still enjoy hearing of your experiences and relationships.
I don’t have a favorite thing but I have many things that I’m enjoying right now. I am loving Pickleball right now. I also enjoy time with close friends, travel, gardening and mahjong. I do enjoy the outside and find that time outside can nurture me.
I hope through this group to broaden my yoga experience and then be open to other suggestions to lead a more healthy, joyful, compassionate and meaningful life.
Brenda! Thank you for chiming in! I think I'm going to post a quick guided meditation next week and hope to get up the courage for a recorded yoga class the week after that. 🤞🏼☺️ What would be your preferred length for a video? I was thinking 20 minutes or so...
I would love a guided meditation! As a yoga beginner, I think a 15 or 20 minute video would be great. I tried a 75 minute class today and it was a little long. BTW, if you start a live class then I want to drive up and attend.

Never tried a yoga class? I hope you can come to one of mine! (And I hope you like it! 🤪🤞🏼)

Thanks for chiming in, Ash! I will never forget the image in my mind of you flying across the pasture on Tootsie at my mom's house... 😆
Haha!! Yes, that was a GREAT day!! I should say, I love horses too, just don't get to ride often enough to feel like a horse person!
