I’ve got your back! 💪🏼

Most of us deal with stress, tension, nerves and sometimes even lack of clarity about what our body is actually supposed to be doing in the saddle.

That’s what I’m here for - to help you sort it out! 💪🏼

For the rest of this month, I’m giving anyone who purchases a virtual lesson access to any Stable Yoga class (these are all Zoom) of your choice.

Stable Yoga is not your average yoga. 🧘🏼‍♀️ We don’t just stretch it out and sweat a little. We talk, we feel, we become more aware of our bodies and make connections to what we feel in the saddle. We release stress, trauma and tension from our body. And you will walk away with tools to help you regulate your nervous system.

Nervous System Regulation is a journey, just like our riding journey. It’s never a once and done because life is ever changing. I want you to know what to do when you feel frazzled. 🤯

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 😃

Around the time that my older son was born, burnout had hit me. It was a slow process, I was so busy that I didn’t notice until it was too late. And it hit hard.

I had a string of rude, entitled clients, some who were cruel to their horses. I did everything in my power to get through to them and be an advocate for their horses, but I was the bad guy. I was talked down to and I was slandered. And I was anything but appreciated.

These horrible people took me for an easy target and they won…well, almost.

Stable Yoga was soon born and when my Life Coaching certification was in my hand, I quit.

Yoga and life coaching became my career focus.

I don’t know exactly what happened in my messaging but someone who was interested in yoga asked me if I would give her virtual dressage lessons, too.

It took some convincing on her part, but the rest is history - I fell in love with teaching virtually.

These last few weeks have been tough, both with the horses and my entire household has a gnarly head cold. And I’m just doing all of the juggling.

In the last few days, 3 clients have complimented my “impeccable” teaching abilities, another sent me an incredibly sweet email thanking me for everything that I do and another drove an hour - both ways - just to bring me a gift.

Me!?

There’s my trauma, guys. I’m just flabbergasted. I’m so used to having been the punching bag for so long. I’m always the one helping others and lifting everyone else up that I’m just speechless.

You have no idea what it means to me.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. 💕

Always,
Cara

I want you to understand that confidence doesn’t just come from pushing through fear, that’s just a small part of the equation.

It really comes from knowing your body.

A few nights ago, one of my students took a yoga class with me, and the next day she rode with a newfound sense of trust in her lesson. By tuning into her breath and alignment, she felt her body differently in the saddle.

My yoga classes are not just yoga. We talk about what to feel in your body and how to relate it to what you feel in the saddle. We talk about tension and how to release it and how to calm your nerves when they escalate. My yoga classes are designed specifically for the tense, worried and stressed equestrian.

If you’ve ever felt unsure, please know that every small move on the mat is a step toward feeling stronger in the tack.

And lessons with me aren’t just about riding through the movements - they’re about discovering trust in yourself and in your horse.

If you’re ready, I’m here to guide you - on the mat and in the saddle.

Good Vibes & Good Rides,
Cara

Mental health is something that’s always been near and dear to my heart. Then I started noticing my students and some close to me having anxiety attacks, tension while riding, overwhelming stress, overthinking and over riding. This isn’t just mental, this is nervous system.

This is a problem that needed to be solved. 🦸‍♀️

I set out to further my education so that I could appropriately help anyone who needed it.

I believe that if we can help ourselves, quite often, we heal our horses and the good things start to fall into place.

The problem with helping anyone in these situations is that it’s a process, and it’s a different process for everyone - human and horse. Not only does everyone learn differently, but everyone has had different experiences that have shaped them, including their struggles.

That being said…

I am working on a HUGE project that I will be slowly releasing as its pieces come together this year.

I’m calling this movement, ‘𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐕𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐬 & 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬.’

You can check out the GVGR page on my website for some motivational merch. I am partnering with my other business, Mare Necessities, LLC on this part.

Tools for your healing journey coming soon. Join the mailing list on the GVGR page to be notified when the next puzzle piece is revealed. 🧩

Stay tuned!

𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐕𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐬 & 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬,

Love is not all you need.

* You need mutual respect.
* You need trust.
* You need support.
* You need boundaries.
* You need space to grow.
* You need acceptance.
* You need appreciation.
* You need someone there when it matters.
* You need people who show you love.
