Goat Yoga

If you’re an FTF follower, you’ll recall that my fitness goal this year besides being fit (lol) is to try new activities that I haven’t done before with the hopes of discovering something I truly enjoy! (Click HERE for my previous post titled: Health and Well Being Check In) I hit the lotto with my first choice – aerial yoga. Yoga has been part of my physical activity for many years. This seemed like the logical first activity to try since I know I like yoga and all of it’s benefits and it looked like it would be a blast! Let me tell you it didn’t disappoint! To see the post on Aerial Yoga, click HERE. Goat yoga seemed like the logical next class to try.

Goat Yoga Chicago at Reverse the Kerrs Farm

“Goat Yoga at Reverse the Kerrs Farm allows you the opportunity to be one with nature, one with goats, and one with your soul. We are a unique farm in that we sit on the edge of a beautiful wetland full of a variety of birds and other wildlife that provide a beautiful chorus of sounds from sunrise to sunset.” (Taken from Reverse the Kerrs Farm Website)

Danielle is the owner of the farm! She and her employees are welcoming, friendly and ensure you have a wonderful experience!

The Goat Yoga Experience

My step-daughter, Tiffany and grand daughter, Violet were eager to join me for this adventure. In my opinion, goat yoga is an activity that is more fun with friends and/or family. While I’m willing to try many things on my own, I knew this experience would be more fun if done with others! Seeing the delight on Violet and Tif’s face was part of the FUN for me!

As the goats move about while you’re doing yoga, you are free to stop and love on them, pet them and enjoy the moment! It’s much more about the experience than the actual yoga in my opinion!

We had a perfect day to be outside enjoying each other, enjoying the goats and enjoying our experience!

We did yoga for about 30 minutes and then we simply had fun with the goats! The entire experience was about 90 minutes.

I made a good goat bridge! I’m surprised he didn’t start chewing on my hair! LOL!

We got to talk with the employees and ask questions about the goats, etc. They were very knowledgable and informative! It was clear that the goats are well loved and treated well!

The baby goats were kept in the barn. Afterwards, we got to hold them. They were very soft and reminded me of puppies! My favorite girlie was super excited to be able to pick one up and hold it!

Tif and Violet are HUGE animal lovers! This adventure was right up their alley!

The farm next to Reverse the Kerrs Farm had horses. Violet enjoyed petting them before we left!

Reverse the Kerrs Farm sells the cutest tees. Of course, it was necessary to purchase one for each of us to commemorate our adventure! The front is their logo the back says, “We’ve Goat Your Back”! You can see my favorite girlie put hers on before we even left.

In my opinion, goat yoga is a one time experience vs a weekly class, which the three of us highly recommend! If you live in the area, you should definitely check it out! You need to register for the class in advance and they fill up quickly. The website is HERE.

By the way, I’m pleased to share that we did not get pooped or peed on! LOL Many friends were concerned for us! No worries necessary!

Another fitness goal and bucket list item are now checked off my list! Winner Winner!

Aerial yoga classes have begun again. Classes weren’t offered over the summer. I have a new instructor, which is good as she’s having us do things I haven’t done before! Here I am with my goat yoga tee on heading out to my aerial yoga class.

NAMASTE!
