She Said: I had so many logistical questions going into this. Are the goats arriving at the yoga studio via truck? Will we be in a field in the rain? How many goats are we talking? I'm a yoga rookie, can I do this? In short, yes, anyone can do this. I did more socializing with goats than I did downward dog, and that was A-OK with the instructor. It was part yoga, part animal therapy. We set up in the barn, with yoga mats atop a layer of hay, and a small pile of goat food placed on each mat. Then, the stampede! A small herd of happy goats bounded in the barn with us, greedily snarfing up all the food pellets. Such a fun moment! We began a few poses while the goats wandered around for pets and surfaces to jump on. One moment you're in a tabletop pose, and the next thing you know, you're a goat's next summit challenge. It was a little startling, but gratefully, my goat was only medium-sized, so it didn't hurt, and actually induced plenty of giggles. Laughing at the goat antics along with 30 other people was the best part. That barn had such a positive vibe – everyone was happy! I'd say the class was definitely more goat therapy than working out, but I'd still recommend it for the uniqueness and entertainment. I left there with a smile on my face, and a true realization of what the hype was all about. And really, how could you not smile after holding two-week-old baby goats?
