About Us

Hummingbird and the Horse is a Pilates and yoga training school devoted to intelligent movement, embodied strength, and refined awareness.

Our name reflects the balance at the heart of our teaching:
the lightness of the hummingbird and the grounded power of the horse.

The hummingbird represents precision, breath, and devotion to subtlety. Small yet mighty, it teaches us that mastery comes from attention—how we place the body, how we breathe, how we listen. In movement practice, this shows up as clarity of cueing, sensitivity to alignment, and the ability to move with ease rather than force.

The horse embodies strength, endurance, and trust in the body’s capacity. Grounded and responsive, it carries power with grace and moves forward with purpose. In Pilates and yoga, the horse reminds us of the importance of structure, classical foundations, and the confidence that comes from embodied strength.

Together, these two archetypes guide our approach to training. We honor tradition while allowing space for creativity and adaptation. We believe strength and softness are not opposites, but partners. Breath supports effort. Precision supports freedom.

At Hummingbird and the Horse, we train teachers and practitioners to move and teach with integrity, clarity, and presence—cultivating bodies that are resilient, expressive, and deeply connected.

This is a school for those who value depth over excess, intelligence over intensity, and movement as a lifelong practice.
