the “Largest Goat Yoga Class” in honor of National Goat Yoga Month with all Goat Yogi’s who wish to
attend. We are having judges from Guinness, Mesa Mayor, Arizona Governor Ducey, and hundreds
other participants, media, and spectators.
A little history: February is a special month for Goat Yoga! February 7th, 2015 was the first day goats
were officially trained in yoga activity‐ It has since spread across the entire world. In February of 2015,
on a little farm in Gilbert Arizona, the founding seeds of Goat Yoga were planted. The idea of goats
jumping on your back was truly inspired. April Gould trained baby goats, with the intention, of having
them jump on and run across the backs of yogi’s during various poses, for the hit TV show American
Ninja Warrior. She was then featured on the show and dubbed the “Goat Whisperer”
Coincidentally, Yoga was becoming more popular with props, such as Paddle‐boards. As temperatures
dropped and was too cold for paddle‐boards, Yogi Instructor, Sarah Williams and Goat Whisperer, April
Gould, decided to combine their two passions and created Goat Yoga!
What first started out as a small‐ 8 person class of Goat Yoga/ Boot Camp, has evolved into weekly sold
out classes of 150 participants and waiting lists full of goat‐loving yogis!
This last 2018 event, Arizona Goat Yoga became record holders in the Guinness Book of World Records
for achieving the “Fastest [Yoga] Goat to run across a human tunnel”, [page 77 of the 2019 Guinness
Book of Records]. This upcoming February, 23, 2019, in the Mesa Amphitheater, we are going to be
achieving the “Largest Goat Yoga Class” with all Goat Yogi’s who wish to attend. We are having judges
from Guinness, Mesa Mayor, Arizona Governor Ducey, and hundreds other participants, media, and
spectators. We are wanting to spread more awareness to “National Goat Yoga Month” in front of

thousands of people and media during our Guinness World Record for “The Largest Goat Yoga Class” this
upcoming February 2019!
So, Now you know how Goat Yoga Month will be the perfect addition to your list of fun holidays!!
