Trump, the goat
That’s not something you hear very often, but only in a large field in Arizona, with more than 100 participants taking part in a yoga class surrounded by goats, Trump was definitely a popular one! But there was no shortage of goats around grazing the field looking for attention and cuddles, and there were plenty of us willing to share.
Arizona Goat Yoga is among the top-rated activities in Phoenix and Arizona and is definitely a must-do when you are in the area!
Goat yoga is exactly that – yoga with goats. And while there is some yoga, (we do stretch and hold yoga poses), much of the attention is on the goats! They are scuttling around - weaving in and out of the crowd, through your legs of your Warrior II pose or underneath your downward-facing dog poses. It makes it harder to concentrate on your pose when you’re looking for the goats or scrambling to find your phone to take photos when the goats come around!

It’s not your traditional yoga class experience, but the connection to your sense of zen and overall joy is just as therapeutic. The goats have that power.
So yes, there is a little bit of yoga, but mostly there is a lot of laughter and giggles all around (and plenty of goat selfies!)

Goat snuggles at Arizona Goat Yoga While the goats get most of the attention, there are also alpacas that are there for hugs and snuggles too! They graze aimlessly waiting for you to give them a little love.

Because who doesn't love their cute little faces??!!
A few things to know:
Purchase your tickets online in advance to ensure you have a spot in the class. The class schedule is posted on their website one month in advance though they do run year-round. Cost is $15 USD in advance or $20 USD at the door.
Bring your own mat or towel. Or can rent one from them for $5 USD.
Gassy goats. You’ll know it if you pick them up to snuggle. Goats do poo. But that’s why the class is in a large field. Will they poo on you? Maybe...but as a mom, poo is poo...we’ve seen worse than goat poo, right? Not a dealbreaker for participation in my mind!

Take lots of photos! They sometimes have a photographer at the class to take pictures of the class but you are encouraged to take your own without concerns of disruption to the class. It’s what most of the class is doing anyway...

Arizona Goat Yoga is a fun activity for all ages, including kids, as long as they are comfortable around animals. It’s a super casual, super chill yoga class that is really all about the goats. There is something incredibly therapeutic when you are surrounded by goats and alpacas, and you leave the class with the same elation after a traditional yoga class.
If you're visiting Phoenix, I highly recommend fitting in a goat yoga class if you can....just because! Let me know how I can help you plan and book your upcoming vacation to Phoenix and/or Arizona!
