Disconnecting With Goat Yoga

special thanks to Cumberland Valley for sponsoring this post.

Okay guys I am sooooo excited for this post because I get to share about something I did earlier this month that was so much fun! Goat Yoga! Have you ever heard of it? Or maybe you've tried it yourself. Whatever the case, I highly recommend it.






The day started out a little rainy, but that was okay because we met in a barn in Carlisle, PA. (If you want to visit a session you can check them out here or search for other farms/studios in your location as they're nation wide!) We had a few minutes to "ooh" and "aw" over the baby goats and then we began our yoga session. I loved that it was an actual session and I got a good work out on top of it being lots of fun.

Every time that there was a certain pose or an instance where a goat would come up to us we had the option of taking a break and cuddling with the goats and then after the workout we had about 30 minutes to just hang out and pet the goats and take some photos.


I knew it would be a fun experience and I hoped that I would still get to workout (which I did!) but what I didn't expect was how therapeutic it would be. These guys were the sweetest and didn't run away or act aggressively or anything like that (something a friend was worried about). I posted some selfies with the goats below and if you know anything about me you know I love cute baby animals so excuse my cheesin' in these pictures. Haha!  




What a fun experience! I highly recommend it if you love yoga and baby animals. I hope you get to try it out sometime! Not sure where you can try Goat Yoga? Check out their locations and website here.

  1. Goats and Yoga are definitely two things I never thought I'd see combined with one another. I wonder how that began. The goat in the last picture looks as though he's smiling or laughing.

  2. I just heard about goat yoga last week and instantly thought how distracting it would be hahaha I feel like I'd just want to spend my time petting them.

    1. That's what I was worried about, but they designate time at the end for cuddling and they also encourage taking little breaks to pet them or acknowledge them. I think I would be more distracted if they said "don't pay attention to the goats" because then that's all I would focus on. Haha!

  3. This is so funny! There's a place near me doing puppy yoga but I hadn't thought about goats before! I'm in PA too so I bet there are places around here that do it.
