GOAT YOGA

Do you love yoga but find that it lacks goats? Maybe what you need is Goat Yoga. Goat Yoga is a real thing in Albany, Oregon. It’s a yoga class, with goats. The concept was born after Lainey Morse auctioned off a kid’s birthday party at her No Regrets Farm and the child’s mother, Heather Ballenger Davis, asked if she could host a yoga class there. Morse’s six goats, which she says are very social, wandered into the class and it was a huge success. Morse is looking to develop the class as animal-assisted therapy for people suffering grief or abuse as well as people with special needs or disabilities. “That is down the road but as for now, I’m starting out with Goat Yoga which has been a huge hit.” There are, of course, a couple problems with Goat Yoga – like goat poop. “Luckily it’s just in little pellets,” Morse says. The next Goat Yoga class is scheduled for Sept. 10 but it is, unfortunately, sold out. The one after, for Sept. 24, still has some openings. Cost is $10.
* Bet the goats can’t wait to see all those butts stuck up in the air.
* “Attention, crew! Initiate ramming speed!”
* I wonder what the goats think when the yoga students stretch into the goat pose?
* “You’re not doing it right!”
* The goat poop is annoying, but on the bright side, they eat all your litter.
* Goat yoga? Well, it’s about damn time.
* Darn, I’ve been using this as an excuse for not exercising. I was waiting for the goats to join in.
* Oregon, huh? I picture this more as a California thing.
* Or maybe Latvia.
* You watch: Here comes the Great Goat Virus Epidemic of 2017.
* This could be the first yoga class that gets attacked by mountain lions.
* “No Regrets Farm”? Well, that certainly sounds cheerful.
