YOGA & HEALING WITH HORSES
AVAILABLE ALL YEAR.
ARRIVAL ANY DAY OF THE WEEK FOR THE NUMBER OF DAYS YOU LIKE
When we interact with horses, we are forced to be aware because horses live in the present and respond to our nonverbal cues and body language. This can help us become more mindful of our own emotions and thoughts, which is essential for meditation and spiritual well-being.
It has been proven that this equines also have a calming effect on humans, which can help us reduce stress and anxiety. Their rhythmic movements and the sound of their breathing can be meditative, and their gentle natures can help us feel more connected to nature and the universe.
Horses are also powerful symbols of freedom, strength, and spirituality in many cultures, which can make them a meaningful part of spiritual practices and rituals. For example, horses are often used in Native American spirituality as symbols of power and healing.

ELLEN CHRISTIAANSE
Ellen, a devoted practitioner with years of experience in horse healing modalities, excels in Reiki, equine-assisted constellations, and meditation to foster human-horse connections for healing. Her expertise extends to working with wild mustangs in California and Colorado, deepening her insight into their energy and behavior. A fervent learner, she has enhanced her animal communication skills through numerous courses. Ellen's work, rooted in respect for nature and belief in horses' healing abilities, showcases her compassionate, intuitive approach, facilitating healing and personal growth with horses.
As activities with the horses we offer meditation with horses, introduction to the chakras of the horses with reiki and breath connection sessions. If you join us for several days we will make sure you have a different activity each day.
In addition we offer individual healing sessions with the horses, coaching sessions and reiki at an additional fee.
We do not offer riding our horses but if you would like to go on an excursion on horse back we can organize this with a nearby riding school that organizes beautiful excursions through vineyardsm forests and hills nearby.
Watch with sound on high volume so you can hear the horses react to Ellen´s breathing.
ANIMAL BREATH CONNECTION
Given the sensitive nature of horses, they instantly respond to your breathing patterns. By aligning your breath with that of a horse, you can enhance your connection, encouraging a relaxed state that might even lead to a horse lying beside you, breathing in harmony as demonstrated in the video. Remember to keep the sound on, as it's crucial for the demonstration. The Animal Breathwork Connection (ABC) meditation is designed to be accessible, requiring no prior experience with horses or breathwork techniques.
REIKI
A Reiki session acts as an energetic massage, channeling universal energy to foster well-being, improving health and enhancing life quality. It's effective against a range of physical and psychological issues like anxiety, stress, and more, while also healing emotional blockages. It aims not just to alleviate symptoms but to restore balance and happiness. Horses, attuned to energy, respond positively to Reiki, enjoying the sessions and actively participating, demonstrating their sensitivity to the healing and loving energy exchanged during therapy.
MEDITATION
Horses, sensitive to our inner states, reflect what we may not see in ourselves. Their presence teaches us to utilize somatic, emotional, and intuitive information more effectively. The coherence of a horse's heart rate, in sync with its breathing and brain activity, can positively influence human heart coherence, leading to beneficial physiological states. Meditating with horses offers a simple, serene way to harness these animals' ability to enhance our well-being and personal growth.
