Red Barn Wellness Farm (aka The Big Red Barn Creativity and Wellness Centre Inc.) is a Registered Ontario Not for Profit Organization and is the home of Horse Wisdom Yoga® and our one of a kind Teacher Training Program.
In our program, students will have the opportunity to learn yoga, from a restorative perspective, and its countless benefits to people of all ages and abilities. While asana is a fun, engaging and hugely beneficial mindful movement practice that we will explore in detail, students will also take their personal practice deeper, specializing in Sadhana and Dinacharya practices (spirituality and self care). Students will graduate our rich program offering with practice that is transformed on a personal and professional level.
Yoga puts us in touch with our creativity, which is a large part of our history and essential to our well being, as it puts us in connection to our parasympathetic nervous system, supporting the practice of "rest and digest" or, as the Horse Teachers call it "back to grazing". Students will develop an expressive arts practice throughout their teacher training program, holding sacred space for one another, in order to support mind-body balance and release the arts.
We are deeply inspired by Nature and Horses and students will have the opportunity to engage with our herd of Horse Teachers, as they guide us deeper into the insights of the practice. All exercises are done on the ground. We do not engage in yoga asana on horseback. No riding takes place and no horse experience is necessary.
Our motto is "Experience, Expand and Empower". We fully support our student teachers in their evolutionary process through the power of Horse Wisdom Yoga®.
