Equine-imity

Do you wonder what it means to be “as healthy as a horse”? Equine-imity uses qigong, a tai chi-like moving meditation, for mind-body health and well-being, in the presence of gentle horses. Written especially for non-equestrians and non-meditators. Seven easy-to-learn exercises. Resources for how to find equestrian facilities, equine-assisted learning centers, and horse mentors near you.

Based on our course of the same name at Stanford, Equine-imity draws on principles and techniques from yoga, taiji (tai chi), mindfulness meditation, and Reiki with elements of Daoist philosophy and Jungian psychology. From an East-meets-West medical perspective, Equine-imity includes state-of-the art information on stress physiology, sports medicine, mirror neurons, and the physics and metaphysics of energy.
