Decoding and soothing your body’s stress signals
Science shows our bodies can get stuck in three stress states: fight, flight, and freeze. Most of us cannot tell which state we are in, or how to get out. Learn to identify your body’s signals for each survival response, understand what your nervous system is trying to tell you, and use research-backed techniques to resolve stuck states. We will practice exercises together and learn to recognize the physical signs of stress release. Whether struggle with chronic stress or want to develop deeper body awareness, you will gain practical tools grounded in nervous system science.
2-Day Horse Neuroscience and Biomechanics Workshop
May 2-3, 2026
Dr Beatrix Krause-Sorio
Equestrian Coach Agi Yother
Understand how horses think, feel, and move. This immersive experience blends science-based education, creative learning, and practical riding tools to help riders better understand how horses perceive stress, process information, and respond to their environment.
Day 1 focuses on the equine nervous system (paint your own horse brain), and identify unique and practical tools to help your horse regulate.
Day 2 applies these principles through rider biomechanics, body awareness, and under-saddle practice.
For kids, owners, instructors, and horse professionals. This workshop offers simple, effective methods to improve safety, communication, and harmony - on and off the horse.
Fees/Pricing:
$200 bring your own horse (+ boarding $50 a night)

2-Day Master Horse Neuroscience and Biomechanics Workshop
January 24-25, 2026
Dr Beatrix Krause-Sorio
Equestrian Coach Agi Yother
Understand how horses think, feel, and move. A two-day, hands-on workshop combining brain science (paint a brain), biomechanics, and riding.
Join experienced equestrian coach Agi Yother (“Ride With Your Mind”) and neuroscientist Dr. Beatrix Krause-Sorio (Stanford School of Medicine) for a two-day, hands-on workshop exploring how neuroscience, biomechanics, and emotional regulation shape equine behavior and performance.
This immersive experience blends science-based education, creative learning, and practical riding tools to help riders better understand how horses perceive stress, process information, and respond to their environment. Day 1 focuses on equine brain science (paint your own horse brain), emotional regulation, and relaxation techniques using art and experiential learning. Day 2 applies these principles through rider biomechanics, body awareness, and under-saddle practice.
Designed for kids, parents, owners, instructors, and grooms, this workshop offers simple, effective methods to improve safety, communication, and harmony—on and off the horse.
Bring your own horse ($150) or let us provide one for you ($200).
