Goat Yoga with Blue Sky Farm

This event does not allow pre-registration; it will be first come, first served.

Blue Sky Farm Goat Yoga is looking forward to providing a “bucket list” event at the DeKalb Public Library! Our baby goats love to snuggle, run, and jump on you as you enjoy some soul-stretching yoga with our certified yoga instructor. It may seem silly to some, but we can assure you the experience is unlike any other. Interacting with any animal is therapeutic, but combining the beautiful practice of yoga with animal therapy is a joy you will feel deep in your heart.

Each session will include 30 minutes of yoga, followed by 15 minutes to snuggle and pet the goats, as well as take photos.

This event is open for ages 12 and up. Attendees must bring a yoga mat or towel (please remember that this item may get dirty). Participation is first come, first served, as there is a limit of 25 participants per class.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

Here are some details to help you know what to expect:

What time should I arrive for class?
Because the class is first-come, first-served, we cannot be certain how early the spaces in the class will fill up.

What do I bring?
Everyone is required to bring their own (it may get dirty) yoga mat or towel.

What if I don’t normally do yoga?
This is a gentle flow yoga class that focuses on many poses that the goats seem to enjoy. You might be surprised how much you enjoy doing yoga, but you don’t have to be a pro to enjoy the day.

Are there age requirements to attend an open goat yoga class?
Participants should be at least 12 years old for open yoga classes. Participants aged 12-17 must attend with a parent or other adult guardian.

What should I wear?
Dress comfortably, but we suggest you leave the adorable yoga tank tops at home or under a T-Shirt. Sometimes tiny goat hooves are a little scratchy!

Will goats try to eat my shoelaces and hair?
A little bit! Goats like to nibble just about everything. You won’t get a major haircut, but bring a hair tie if you have longer hair, and take off your shoes.

Will the goats pee or poop on me?
Goats are not potty trained. It happens!

Do I need to bring my own yoga mat?
Please bring your own yoga mat or beach towel. Remember that this item may get dirty.

Will I need to sign a waiver for myself and/or my child between 12-17?
All adults 18 and over are required to sign a waiver. All minors need a parent or legal guardian to sign a waiver. Participants aged 12-17 must attend with a parent or other adult guardian.
