Let's Talk About It August 29, 2024: Mindfulness and Horses - Jennifer Cohen Harper Founder and CEO- Little Flower Yoga

Mindfulness encourages you to disengage from the media and take in the sights and sounds of the moment while relaxing and clearing your mind from overthinking, stress and worries. Horses have an acute ability to be in the moment which allows them to pick up on subtle body language cues and emotions. The combination of mindfulness and horses helps individuals become more in touch with their emotions and help heal past traumas. Jennifer Cohen Harper talks about this mindfulness practice and its evolution during the pandemic as a way for people to reconnect with nature.
