The Manual enables equine-assisted learning and therapy professionals, riding instructors, horse trainers/whisperers, and professional or amateur equestrians to conduct Equine-imity with clients, patients, students, family, and friends. Based on our four-week class in the Stanford Healthy Living Program, now in its 12th year, Equine-imity teaches mindfulness meditation with qigong, a tai chi-like practice, to decrease stress and increase emotional satisfaction with, and optionally on, horses. No previous horse experience needed.
The Manual can be used as a stand-alone teaching tool or as a companion to Equine-imity—Stress Reduction and Emotional Self-Regulation in the Company of Horses in the listing below.
