Hi there, I'm Terry Newton. Founder of Kindred Spirits. I created Kindred Spirits out of an unshakable love for horses and a passion for learning and sharing knowledge with all the souls that cross my path. Kindred Spirits itself isn’t so much a place, as it is a collection of moments and ideas shared with all the wonderful people that find their way to us. We're here to give you the tools, knowledge, and space you need to let go of what's holding you back, make positive changes, and live your life to the fullest.

This was an amazing experience, building new awareness through yoga and a better understanding of horses. I’ve learned new practices and honestly built a new perspective for my life in a very short time. I only wish I had stayed longer! The people and the food were amazing and it was a true retreat filled with healing and special memories. Thank you!

I felt that Kindred Spirit was a little drop of heaven. The gentle nature and behaviour of the horses was a testament to how Terry interacts and teaches with them. Doing camel pose on horseback was an incredible experience and standing up made me feel so free! I loved how nature was part of the accommodation too with big butterflies and hummingbirds regular visitors to the living room and Toby the cat was always on hand for a cuddle. Yoga Nidra at the Shambala in the dusky evening was also lovely & very meditative. Thank you so much Terry for a deeply transformative experience, I'm still processing it now I'm back in the UK! x

This was the most incredible, beautiful moving experience to date. Thank you Terry, Johanna Lexie, their wonderful horses (animals and mystical jungle setting) for providing this life changing course. It's well worth the trip from Australia! I will be back a third time to.

What an incredible and life changing experience! The food and accommodations were incredible. Being in the jungle and healing while getting my YTT was a dream come true! Terry and Johanna and Enrika are amazing humans.

It was an amazing experience! So good I decided to stay for the Equestrian certification as well. This place is deep in the jungle but has everything you need to live and a few luxuries, such as internet! Terry and the instructors are amazing and they quickly become like family. The course content is intense at times but they do a great job of breaking it down and helping you understand it. I'm grateful I took the course here as I learned so much more about yoga than just asanas 🧘‍♀️
