When was the last time you truly played?

As life goes on, it’s easy to forget to play. We often take ourselves too seriously. We get busy and overwhelmed by the demands of life. It happens, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Everyone deserves to take a break and do something for themselves. We all need to let loose and give ourselves the gift of fun. At NY Goat Yoga, we help people disconnect from the stressors of everyday life and connect to their inner kid again.

  • “One of the best experiences I have done in the area over the last eight years.”

    The goats are always adorable and the best in the springtime when they are so tiny. The staff is incredible, friendly, helpful, and makes the entire yoga experience fun and non-intimidating. I’d recommend to everyone I know. I took my little cousins with me ages 4 to 10 and they had a fabulous time. 

    VICTORIA

  • “The energy in this class was unmatchable.”

    Just wanted to take a second and acknowledge the great experience I had at NY Goat Yoga. From the minute I walked in the staff were super welcoming and friendly. Vanessa was a super dedicated instructor. If you love animals this is a MUST! Would Highly recommend over and over again.

    JOHN

  • “All the stars!”

    I can't decide who is sweeter – the goats, or the knowledgeable, skilled, joy-filled instructors. Highly recommend this unique, therapeutic experience to all ages. If you're looking for something to do with a group or on your own, that's going to make you warm, fuzzy, and bring you all the giggles, this is it.

    BEATRICE

  • “A unique and lighthearted experience filled with laughter and relaxation.”

    I had so much fun doing goat yoga. Vanessa was an amazing instructor – she was enthusiastic and made sure we were able to get deep stretches and breaths in while the goats were trying to play!

The most adorable therapy session you’ll ever have.

We believe in the power of animal therapy and the positive benefits it has on mental health. Pair that with the endorphins you get when you move your body, and you’ve got the perfect mood-boosting activity for your mind, body, and soul. Goat yoga is just like regular yoga — but with adorable and friendly goats trying to kiss your face. Sounds like heaven, right? Goat yoga can:

  • Reduce stress and anxiety

  • Release endorphins 

  • Increase serotonin and dopamine levels

  • Improve mood

  • Improve cardiovascular health, strength, and flexibility

Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned yogi, your new favorite warm, fuzzy happy place awaits!
