An Evening of Chandra Namaskar Yoga, a Hands-On Horse Experience and Ritual.

As summer begins its gentle transition toward harvest, the Sturgeon Moon invites us to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the wisdom that already lives within us. Named by Indigenous people of the Great Lakes region, this full moon honors resilience, abundance, and the quiet strength that comes from trusting our inner guidance.

🧘 Begin with a gentle Chandra Namaskar (Moon Salutation) practice, designed to calm the nervous system, cultivate presence, and prepare both body and mind for the evening ahead.

🐴 Experience the quiet wisdom of the herd during a guided hands-on horse experience. Through gentle interaction and observation, horses invite us into authenticity, awareness, and connection – meeting us exactly as we are.

🌿 Take part in creating your own Ayurvedic Moon Juice to take home in a glass jar. Following a traditional recipe, you’ll place it beneath the moonlight overnight and enjoy it the following morning as a mindful continuation of the evening’s intention.

Close with a guided moonlit meditation with horses beneath the Sturgeon Moon. As the horses move around us, their calming presence creates a truly unique and peaceful way to end the evening.

Details: August 27 | 6:30 – 9:30 PM

$69 per person

Ages 11+

YOGA, BREATH & MEDITATION with Beth

Beth Claseman is the founder of Belle Shanti Yoga & Wellness and a dedicated yoga teacher who is passionate about helping people return to themselves—one breath at a time.

Her work is rooted in the belief that we don’t need to become someone new, but rather remember who we are beneath the noise. Through breath, movement, and moments of stillness, she creates spaces that invite connection, clarity, and a sense of coming home.

Beth’s teaching is guided not only by movement, but by a deep awareness of the body’s subtle energy. She weaves this into each experience—whether through dynamic flow, gentle practice, or restorative stillness—meeting people where they are and supporting both physical and energetic balance.

Inspired by nature and the quiet wisdom of horses, her approach reflects a balance of grounded presence and intuitive guidance. She believes that healing happens when we slow down enough to listen, and that within each of us is a steady place we can return to again and again.

EQUINE EXPERIENCE with Loveaya

Loveaya Magnus brings a lifelong connection with horses into every experience she creates. She has owned and worked with horses since the age of nine and has never been far from them, shaping a deep understanding rooted not just in training, but in observation, relationship, and respect for the herd.

She holds a degree in Therapeutic Horsemanship and is an Advanced Certified Instructor through PATH International, as well as a mentor and Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning. Her approach blends professional expertise with a holistic perspective—believing that horses and nature offer a space where people can return to themselves.

Much of Loveaya’s learning has come directly from the horses—watching herd dynamics, noticing subtle communication, and allowing the horses to guide the experience. She is passionate about helping others connect with horses in this same authentic way. Horses have a unique ability to ground us, bring us into the present moment, and reflect what we carry—offering insight, calm, and connection without judgment.

Through these retreats, Loveaya creates opportunities for people to slow down, tune in, and experience the quiet, powerful presence of horses in a way that is both meaningful and transformative.
