*Equine-Assisted Growth and Learning seminars:
What Past Equine-Assisted Learning Seminar Attendees had to say:          

            "The horse exercises were great - eye opening, frustrating, and challenging, yet really good.  I  know that I have patterns of behavior              that play out in various situations and it was great to be in an environment where those patterns could be tested, acted out and then              reflected upon.  The stakes aren't as high as they are in a "real life" situation where there can be more of a perceived risk." 

           "The first group exercise really helped me see how deeply important it is for me to stay true to my core beliefs and feelings, and not just                 compromise or gloss over my feelings in the interest of completing a task and/or pleasing the rest of the group's wishes."

            "The individual horse exercise was equally as powerful, in that once I gave up on trying to figure out how to put on the halter, I was                 able to really shift into my core, being connected and focused, and then it all fell into place.  What better lesson to have than that?"

What is JointYoga?

JointYoga is good for people and for animals! JointYoga teaches everyone the Secret Body-Language of joints, muscles, reflexes and nerve responses so that you can heal the body and achieve a natural state of health. It is beneficial for both animals and for their people. JointYoga's easy-to-follow system improves animals’ strength, flexibility, and balance. Over 100 color pictures guide readers of all levels through safe and effective exercises, principles, and techniques derived from yoga, chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, and visualization. Learn chiropractic secrets for assessing posture, muscle condition, movement, and joint health, so you can safely help your animal become balanced and pain-free.

Even cats can learn JointYoga

 JointYoga Graduates Say This:


 "JointYoga is the best continuing education seminar I've ever taken!" Roby Rogers, M.D.

"JointYoga is surprisingly gentle and powerful." Pete, physical therapist and seminar participant

"I am a fan of JointYoga.  Bailey has had the most improvement and I can't tell how how thrilled I am. I'm still learning and practicing and reading, but I'm getting there. 
Bailey has been very reactive and protective pretty much his whole life.  I changed to a lamb based protein, which has helped.  Since I've been doing JointYoga, I've seen a major improvement.  He is more playful, snuggly, and just happier.  The big reward was on Friday. Bailey has his annual check-up at the vet, which is something I always dreaded.  However, he didn't growl, snap, jump, or even whine.  He was perfect.  I fed him a few treats while Dr. Jeff drew blood, listened to his heart and checked his body from his neck down.  I didn't want to push it, so we skipped the ears and teeth.  I was so thrilled!" Kim W. of Green Acres Boxer Rescue

Following completion you’ll be qualified to teach the basic JointYoga certification course when you meet all required elements and demonstrate instructional skills and competence at a satisfactory level. Taking this course does not guarantee certification although if you meet all required elements and any suggested follow-up assignments, you’ll likely become qualified to teach the basic certification course.
