Navigating changes together

There’s nothing we can’t handle when we consciously support each other through it, one pose at a time.

Whether you are experiencing a life transition, a health change, or simply seeking to join a like-minded soulful community, this is your thing!

Offerings are always holistic in that they address the mind, body, and soul. Always.

Classes vary every month and are usually theme-based. The yoga practice always includes breathwork (pranayama), meditation, as well as a physical movement (asanas).

The specialty of The Backyard Yogini is helping women thrive as their bodies change with all the different seasons of their lives. Classes are intentionally small to encourage meaningful connections among participants.

The Little Red Barn Cochrane Yoga

The Little Red Barn of Joy onsite studio

In the cooler seasons, classes are offered in this adorable intimate heated space. You are sure to feel a child-like joy when practicing in this high-vibrational environment.

Yoga deck with a view

In the warmer seasons, classes are offered outdoors on a deck, amongst mature trees, right in front of the highly vibrational equine-assisted support© horses.

The tranquil presence of the horses offers an added touch of magic to the practice, as they passively hold space for all who are attending. It is not uncommon to have them all approach the deck and rest their heads on the fence rail, which is within arm’s length, to bear witness to the transformation of all attending. The horses especially love sound baths. They also seem to know when one of the participants can use a little horsepower!
