Yoga at HapBE Valley isn’t just a class—it’s an experience of being with the energy of horses and nature. Set in the quiet beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this isn’t a studio with mirrors or walls. It’s open air, wide sky, and the gentle presence of horses nearby. As you move through a mellow, accessible flow, you’re not just stretching your body—you’re settling your nervous system. The horses often share the space in their own way. Sometimes they graze quietly beside you. Sometimes they wander closer, curious and aware. Their presence has a way of bringing you out of your head and into the moment—where breath, body, and awareness meet. Each session is intentionally unhurried. There’s no pressure to perform, no need to “get it right.” It’s about tuning in, softening, and allowing yourself to slow down in a way that’s hard to find in everyday life. Come as you are. Leave feeling grounded, clear, and more connected—to yourself, to nature, and to something deeper.

This is a fun, indoor activity that is for all ages 5 on up! My most veteran student right now is 73!! There is great music playing and food is available if you are there during normal hours. Some of my lessons are done when the rink is closed, which some prefer. My 3 goals for every lesson is that 1) you learn something 2) it's good exercise and 3) you have a great time! I can teach groups at the same time. Each person just needs to purchase their own purchase ticket =)
