Where did Goat Yoga Originate? What is goat yoga? Goat Yoga originated in Gilbert Arizona, 2015. April was using her goats as training partners for a national television show.April put the goats on her back for added weight, while performing various exercises and yoga poses. the goats soon became trained to jump on her back on command. Thus goat yoga was born.

Sarah, certified yoga instructor, coincidentally was working on her own type of unique workout. Yoga was  becoming more popular with props in general, so she started Paddle‐board yoga. Paddle board becames too cold for paddle‐boards, so Yogi Instructor, Sarah Williams and Goat Whisperer, Apri 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! – paddle-board Yoga.
Creatively thinking of new props for yoga, and knowing April had
extraordinary acrobatic goats, Sarah came up with the idea, and the concept of combing yoga with goats naturally came to be.

What are the health benifits of goat yoga?  Why is goat yoga good for you? Goat yoga is not only fun, but it is also beneficial to your health and well being. Unlike traditional yoga, Goat Yoga is performed in a field- with adorable baby goats, fresh air, green grass, beautiful mountains, and all the other positive energies of nature. It is a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Our goats are extremely therapeutic, and specially trained to jump and run across your backs- so how fun is that?!

Goat yoga is different than regular yoga because there are specially trained yoga goats that interact with you throughout the entire class! Some people think this might be distracting to a yoga practice but it actually  engages the people more! People often get bored in yoga but when you add baby goats in costume, it makes it much more fun & engaging.  Goat yoga is done in a pasture. It is a non-intimidating environment, where  people from all walks of life join in the fun.   One of our sayings at Arizona Goat Yoga is “goats don’t judge goats just love!”  Some people don’t like people but they like animals, this gets them out socializing & meeting people. 

The goats jump on people’s poses, go under them & are friendly! Goats are normally very skittish animals, we work with the goats everyday to make sure they are friendly & not dangerous to anyone. We guarantee multiple goat experiences throughout the entire class!  People hold the goats, take pictures with the goats, and do yoga with goats. We also have alpacas and a cow named Maisy that they can cuddle with. Animals make yoga so much more interesting. They are emotional support animals and they help people feel calm and relaxed They can increase the intensity of their work out by putting a goat on their plank!
