Our goats, piglets, pups and alpaca can come to almost any location to hold a Goats + Yoga session. Although we prefer a location with a floor that's easy to clean, we have tarps & shop vacs & towels, and can bring the critters almost anywhere that can fit us! (FYI, a general rule of thumb is 21 sqft per person.)

Want us to bring Goats + Yoga to your location? Read more about it and book a date here.

Want to know where we will be next? Check our the upcoming events on the Goats + Yoga page.

Goats + Yoga is a very casual environment. You are welcome to just sit, meditate and pet the goats but you do have to still sign up for a class & pay for a ticket. You don't need to be super flexible or even have ever done yoga to participate. ALL skills are welcome.

Sorry there are no refunds unless the class gets cancelled. Tickets are transferrable to a friend, though! Just transfer the ticket to your friend or call us to swap it out for you.

Our Goats + Yoga @ WCF registration begins the the advertised start time. You can have about 15 minutes to get your spot and mat situated and meet the goats.

You will learn about the goats, Willow City Farm, the venue and the instructor.

We'll will start the yoga class with some basic yoga sequences appropriate for all levels while Tara will tend to the goats and make sure they aren't being overly obtrusive. The yoga class will consist of a 30-45 minute session where participants do "barnyard" poses with the animals. You're welcome to join in or just hang with the animals. That's up to you!

When the yoga portion of the class is over, you'll have another 20-30 minutes or so to have snacks, refreshments, ask questions or purchase some Willow City Farm merch.

Have you ever read the book "Everybody Poops"? Goats poop, too. However, goat poop does not stink and makes awesome manure for your gardens. It's small pellets, so in the case they do poop on your mat, you can simply shake it off.

Although we cannot guarantee the goats will not decide to alleviate themselves near you, they mostly prefer a secluded private place to do their business. Goats have small pellets, and from time to time they do poop on your mat. It’s not messy and all you have to do is shake off your mat. We have to remember they are not dogs or cats but farm animals and they’re just doing their thing.

We understand that many people come to goat yoga and don't want to do yoga. However, you will still need to pay for the class as we have a limited amount of people we can allow each time. If you would like a chair for grandma or your husband...we can provide that, but each person will need to pay for a ticket.

Yes, and no... While you will need to bring a mat or towel to place between you and the dirt floor, there's no need to purchase a yoga mat if you don't already own one. An old beach towel will do just fine!

No, sorry, we do not. Our breeds of goats serve two purposes: land clearing and meat. We rent out our Nigerian and Tennessee faining goats to customers looking for an environmentally friendly way to clear brush, timber, or weeds. Our boer, sannen/boer or lamancha/boer cross goats are breeds we raise for their healthy meats.

Yes, we do. We're happy to come to your location (assuming it's goat friendly) or you are welcome to book a private event at your location or ours. Great ideas for private events are team building exercises for businesses, bachelorette parties, birthdays etc. Just contact us for a quote and a schedule.

We have had members of the media present at our classes. You are under no obligation to be filmed, however, each class is required to sign a media release form.

YES. Our attorney requires it! Here's a copy of the waiver each student will be asked to sign before participating in the class OR visiting the farm.

In order to participate in Willow City Farm's Goat + Yoga, you must agree to the following agreements:
