I’m on holiday in Oregon, US, where I’ve just had an amazing experience
– goat yoga! HOME ABOUT CONTACT

First, a few facts I learned about goats. They were domesticated about
10,000 years ago, approximately 4,000 years before horses. These
curious and clever animals can figure out how to open a locked box. Like
dogs, goats ask for something they can’t reach by making eye contact with
a person, and their eyes have horizontal pupils. They’re also natural
jumpers and climbers – and can even climb trees! This makes them
perfect for goat yoga, which was created in Oregon in 2016 by a woman
named Lainey Morse. She kept miniature goats called Nigerian dwarf
goats on her small farm. Her idea quickly spread and is now very trendy. If
I hadn’t tried it for myself, I wouldn’t have understood why it’s so popular!
Our yoga class met outdoors. As the instructor led us through yoga poses,
which, luckily for me, were suitable for beginners, the goats wandered
round and occasionally jumped on people. When a goat jumped on my
back during a pose, the feeling was wonderful! The goat stood on me for
about 30 seconds, creating a slight pressure which helped me relax into
the pose. It also made me laugh, and in general, there was lots of
laughter! When the hour ended, I felt peaceful and happy. If I could do a
class here again, I would, but there’s a long waiting list. So, as soon as I
find goat yoga near my home in London, I’ll sign up for it.
Comments
Here in Los Angeles, “party goats” are a big trend. The owners say the
animals enjoy the people and music, and the hosts say that the goats add
to the atmosphere and give everyone something to talk about.
Bradley2W
From volunteering at a goat shelter, I know that goats can form strong
emotional bonds with people. Goats are even used as “therapy animals”
for people with disabilities or illnesses.
LauraUK
Goats are an environmentally friendly way to control vegetation. I live in
Mountain View, California, where goats are used to cut the grass at
Google headquarters!
