Why practice Yoga with goats?

Do the goats enjoy participating?
Of all farm animals, goats are some of the most carefree and happy. The goats are trained to be around humans, and humans, likewise, receive instruction on how to stay safe and treat the goats carefully and with respect.

What should I wear to Goat Yoga?
Wear comfortable clothing that you can move around in. You may want to avoid loose, flowing clothes as the goats may grab on to them with their mouths. It is suggested that long hair is in a ponytail (they love to chew!).

We recommend you wear closed-toe shoes to protect your feet from the goats’ hooves. Bring a towel with your yoga mat. Please remember, these are animals and they may have unexpected occurrences that sometimes happen when furry friends are around (aka poop & pee).
