I love horses and I know that you do too. I’m on a mission to bring yoga to horse riders, horse lovers and equestrians everywhere. Not just physical practice, yoga has the power to change your life with horses, whether you ride or not.
Meet Gemma and Ernie, the real stars of the show! They’ve taught me so much and yoga has filled in the rest. Find out how it’s helped us and can help you too. I’m sure that you will love my flexible on line classes and courses, that you can follow whenever you choose.

I ride horses. Why do I need yoga?
Any of these sound like you?
- Tight and achy hips?
- Ache after riding?
- Sore back and neck?
- Okay once you’re on but struggle to mount/dismount?
- Lost a bit of confidence along the way.
That was me until I found yoga. I started yoga to improve my physical fitness, flexibility, balance and strength and found it gave me so much more!
- Everything you need to connect more deeply with yourself and your horse, find one breath, one soul. Minds, bodies, spirits in union.
- Bring yourself to flexibility, focus and balance with the supportive, healing power of yoga.
- Empower your own physical, mental and emotional wellbeing so that you can take the best care of your horse. They will thank you for it.

Yoga Classes and Courses for Horse Lovers
Do you love to ride but find yourself feeling stiff and sore afterwards? Your riding instructor or coach keeps telling you to keep your back straight and heels down but your muscles start to ache and you’re soon slumping again? Your horse doesn’t move as freely when you ride as they do in the field, or feels unbalanced?
I offer a range of short and longer courses to help with your riding fitness and exploring the deeper pathways to equine connection. You can choose to work on the physical skills you need to ride better, or dive a little deeper into nervous system regulation, mental focus, meditation and connection.
I’ll be starting a weekly online ‘drop in’ class for riders in Autumn 2024 so you can try yoga for yourself before committing to a longer course.
Remember that every journey begins with a single hoofbeat and I’m here with you every step of the way.

One to one yoga and coaching
I specialise in coaching and teaching yoga to people who ride, work with or just simply love horses. Whether you have physical needs like wanting to be more balanced, flexible or stronger, or you’re coping with emotional stress or confidence, I can help.
I know too that sometimes we just want to do things our way! Or we have specific needs that we feel are better addressed in a one-one space rather than in a group class. I’m a qualified coach as well as yoga teacher so we can work together to build a programme that works specifically for you. Whether that is a physical goal like managing long term pain, or simply feeling more flexible, or related to emotional needs like confidence, I can help!
Recent clients have worked on topics like:
- Managing long term, chronic pain that affects their riding and ability to work with their horse
- Having the confidence to ride again after a fall
- Improving riding balance
- Being strong and flexible enough to mount from the ground

Meet Clare, Gemma and Ernie
I’m Clare Hodgson and I’ve been practicing yoga and riding horses for over 40 years. I specialise in providing high quality, fun and informative online yoga practice, courses and coaching. Yoga really turned around my relationship with my ponies for the better and I’m absolutely passionate about sharing the benefits with you and your horse.
My ponies are chalk and cheese! Ernie taught me how each rider’s physical and emotional responses affect how your horse moves, responds and ultimately develops their relationship with you. Our journey and learning inspired my love of the physical balance that yoga provides.
Gemma was in so much pain when we first met, and so angry. I was terrified of her but I knew that an amazing soul was waiting behind the outbursts. In time, I learned that before you can begin to know a horse, you have to know yourself. I came back to yoga to do that. Our journey together is the heart of my equine yoga practice.
We’d love to share our learning with you.
