EHS Professional Training Program

The program begins with an introduction to the principles of Equine Hanna Somatics. Other topics addressed will be the history of Equine Hanna Somatics, equine anatomy and kinesiology, somatic horse handling, safety, EHS basic protocols, Hanna Somatics for riders and horse handlers, the nature of the horse and learning, herd dynamics, equine neurophysiology, conformation/posture, assessment, equine somatic issues, ethics, legalities, practice building, and others.

Each day will be divided into two sections: The morning will be devoted to hands-on practice with horses; the afternoon will be lecture, discussion, and somatic exercises for equestrians.

Tuition for each of the three modules is $750. Participants are required to have experience with horses.

• Equine Science students or grads interested in pursuing a career as a certified EHS Practitioner

• Human Hanna Somatic Educators (or other mind-body practitioners) looking to expand their practice to include EHS

This application will give us an idea of where you feel you are right now, and why you are interested in becoming a Certified Equine Hanna Somatics Educator. Prior experience with Hanna Somatics is not required, however at least a basic level of horse experience IS required before beginning Module 1. 

We look forward to working with students across all levels, from those with professional goals to recreational horse owners looking to learn how to do EHS with their own horses, as well as interdisciplinary professionals and researchers.
