Saturday, October 5th, 10AM to 11AM
Ever tried to do downward dog while an actual animal climbs on your back? No? Well, now's your chance!
What to Expect:
Goats. Everywhere. On your mat, on your back, probably eating your hair. 🐐💇♀️
Actual yoga (if you can focus with all the chaos around) 🧘♀️
A workout for your core... from laughing so hard 🤣💪
All Levels Welcome - Whether you're a yoga pro or a newbie, this class is for you. 🔰
The Vibe:
Picture this: You're in child's pose, feeling zen AF 😌, when suddenly there's a tiny hoof on your back and a curious goat face peering into yours. It's part yoga class, part petting zoo, and 100% unforgettable. Plus, it's outdoors, so you're getting that fresh air and nature boost too! 🌿🍃
Our tips:
Wear clothes you don't mind getting a little funky 👕🐐
Bring a camera (or a friend with steady hands) for those epic goat yoga shots 📸
Leave your "serious yogi" attitude at home - this is about fun, not perfection! 😜🧘♀️
