Faith - " I am by no means a yoga expert, I actually have never tried it! I heard about goat yoga from a friend and they said I had to try it. I was skeptical at first as yoga is not my cup of tea however, goat yoga was such a great experience! I had so much fun and was so relaxed when I left. I never would have thought goats could be so friendly, loving, and funny. They all have their own personalities and love people. I would say goat yoga is a must-try and definitely needs to be added to everyone's bucket list!"
David - " I practice yoga weekly at my local studio, and someone there mentioned they had tried goat yoga. I had never heard of it, and when I research things on how the practice of yoga was implemented with the goats I was very critical. I had heard that it is not really yoga and that it was basically a stretching class with a few minor yoga poses. However, at Nature's Trail Yoga, this couldn't be farther from the case! The instructor is very knowledgeable and has taken many certifications. You can really tell her passion for all the qualities traditional yoga brings. She makes sure to keep the class challenging for all levels offering different levels of poses. The goats added a fun heartfelt twist, that I never expected. Yoga is so much better with a goat on your mat!"
Sandy - " This was the perfect experience for any animal lover such as myself! It was a fun way to escape city life and enjoy the beautiful scenic scapegoat yoga offers"
Michael - " My expectations were met and surpassed, the goats had this knack for turning serious poses into comical situations. There was a lot of spontaneous laughter, which made it a fun experience for myself and my daughter who would usually not be too fond of a yoga class."
As we gathered these reviews, it became evident that goat yoga is indeed a unique and fun experience for everyone.
