Hi, I'm Terry, and this is my Yogi Horse Woman lifestyle blog where I celebrate my relationship with horses, yoga and nature. With them as the heart and center, I bring together the practices of Yoga, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Permaculture, Liberty Training and Mindfulness, for a holistic approach to farm living and self empowerment that encompass Equine Yoga & Attuned Horsemanship. Feel free to go to my About page for more details, or head on to the Retreats section if you're ready to visit!
