Katja Elk

California-based Dressage trainer, instructor, clinician and life coach, Katja Elk, provides gentle training solutions for riders and horses of all backgrounds. 
“In my videos, I share insights with people interested in learning about foundational Dressage and different types of groundwork, highlighting parts of the journey we call ‘work in progress' with our equine partners. None of the shown clips are flawless, but they are honest attempts to show you ways to nurture a kind, joyful and productive relationship with your horses as you are exploring the finer points of Dressage and groundwork.” 
Katja applies her friendly, trust-based, two-way communication system to riding Dressage, work-in-hand as well as longeing/lungeing, free-longeing/free-lungeing and longlining.
Additionally, Katja, a Martha Beck certified master life coach, works with people who are suffering from anxiety and depression and offers the occasional equine-assisted coaching retreat.
