Goat Yoga!
$22.00
Come and have the most fun, relaxing, healing time practicing yoga with our four Pygora goats. Pygora goats are playful, sweet and friendly fiber goats. They are like little sheep teddy bears! No, they will not come and stand on you (unless you want them too!) but they will interact with you and love pats and cuddles.
Some mats are available here however the grass is wet from dew in the morning. You may well want to bring a big towel or even two–not because you’ll get dirty but for the dew!
This outdoor practice runs Saturday in September from 9-10 a.m. An all level class, all are welcome to join. Older kids, 12 and up, are welcome, too. All spots must be reserved and paid for before class begins.
Class are held at our farm at 5 Mount Warner Road, Hadley, MA.
Research has shown the therapeutic benefits of goats and of course, as we know, of yoga. This peaceful, joyful practice is just what we need right now and I look forward to welcoming you for yoga on our little fiber farm.
Meet your teacher: Sam Wilde will be leading the class. A Kripalu trained and certified yoga teacher, she has taught yoga to hundreds of people in the Valley for decades (and practiced yoga for even more decades!). She shares the heart-opening philosophy of Kripalu in all of her classes. Over the many years she has taught folks from newborn to 107 and welcomes all levels and abilities to experience the naturally healing and beneficial effects of an hour of yoga practice.
Chrystina –
Sam is an amazing yoga instructor. Every time I practice with Sam my heart is touched, usually even evoking tears that feel healing, being in the presence of such an openhearted, life inspiring being such as Sam. She also brings a sense of humor, adding a lively element of joy to the practice, while while still evoking a feeling of serenity and awareness of how meaningful and impactful her yoga sessions are for my well-being. Then add the goats, the outdoor setting, and there’s a whole new level of experience! The goats are so beautiful, and their coats such deep softness. Hearing them meandering about and munching brings another level of peacefulness to the practice, feeling so connected to nature being with goats and under the open sky! I highly recommend goat yoga with Sam!

Yoga with Sam AND goats – it couldn’t get any better than that!! Sam offers a bounty of knowledge and wisdom in yoga, always a sense of humor, and now a beautiful outdoor space and entertaining goat companions. A unique experience to try first-hand 😄
