GOAT YOGA

What is goat yoga?

Goat yoga, affectionately known as goga, is just as it sounds—practicing yoga while several cute and cuddly goats run around and jump on you. Goat yoga trades perfect poses for laughter and lighthearted fun—imagine bursting into giggles as a goat hops into your tabletop pose. It’s less about precision and more about play. Perfect for beginners dipping their toes into yoga or experienced yogis wanting to mix things up and celebrate the beauty of imperfection.

​

How do I register for goat yoga?

Visit the registration page and select the date that you'd like to participate. You must pre-register to attend a class.

 

Do I have to do yoga?

No, some people prefer to sit on their mat and snuggle goats. We ask that anyone not participating in yoga remain on their mat until the class is over. 

 

Where does goat yoga take place?

In warm weather, goat yoga is held in a grassy area near the barn. There is plenty of room to spread out! If it's raining, we'll move class inside to the top of our barn. During the colder months, we'll be inside the top of the barn.

​

Will you cancel class if it's raining or cold?

No, we will not cancel. In bad weather, we'll move class inside of our historic barn. Built in 1843, has a large semi-heated space in the top where we can hold classes. 

​

What should I wear to goat yoga?

We suggest dressing comfortably and for the weather. You may get dirty, so we suggest wearing clothes that can get dirty. Also, consider leaving dangly earrings and long necklaces at home. Those with longer hair may want to pull it back into a ponytail or bun.

​

Do I need my own yoga mat?

Yes, you will need to bring your own yoga mat, towel, or blanket. 

​

What should I bring to class?

A yoga mat, towel, or blanket, and water if you would like. Please bring a bottle without a straw. The goats have been known to take sips from straws! Please do not bring food, coffee, tea, soda, energy drinks, alcohol, cigarettes, tobacco products, vaping devices, etc. to class. Goats are very curious and we don't want them to ingest something that would make them ill. Their safety is our priority.

 

Will the goats poop on my mat or on me?

Occasionally goats will poop on your mat. They have pooped on people. Fortunately they have small pellets that aren't too stinky and can be shaken off easily. We have a sink available inside the barn to wash your hands, and also hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes at the class location. Goats are farm animals and their bathroom habits cannot be trained like dogs or cats.

 

Do the goats bite?

Goats like to nibble. It's their way of trying to see if something is good to eat. It's possible they will try to nibble on hair, clothes, zippers, shoestrings, etc. Our goats do not intentionally bite. 

 

Do the goats headbutt?

Sometimes the goats will play and headbutt each other, but not humans. 

 

Do the goats have horns?

Some do. Most of the goats selected for goat yoga are either polled (born without horns) or disbudded (horns removed shortly after birth). We do have some with horns, but they are very sweet and gentle to people.
 

Are children permitted in class?

No, our classes are for participants ages 18 and older.

​

Can I bring a friend/family member/pet to watch my class?
Only participants registered for class are permitted at the farm—please do not bring spectators, unregistered participants or pets to class. 

​

Do you offer refunds?

Refunds are not issued if participants cancel or do not show up for their scheduled class. Refunds will be issued if we cancel class.

​

Will you transfer my reservation if I miss class?

Class registration is non-refundable and non-transferrable. We do not offer transfers to another class if a participant cancels or does not show up for their scheduled class. You may not transfer to another person.

 

Do you offer private goat yoga events?

Yes! A minimum of 30 participants is needed to hold a private class. Visit the group booking page for more information and dates.
