Frequently Asked Questions
​
What type of yoga do you teach?
Do I need yoga experience?
Not at all. Our classes are designed for all experience
levels, from complete beginners to seasoned yogis. We
guide a gentle, easy-flow practice that can be modified
to suit your comfort level. Many of our guests are trying
yoga for the very first time.
​
Do I have to participate in the yoga?
Not if you don't want to. We like to say this is your goat yoga experience. Some guests enjoy every pose, while others spend more time laughing, cuddling goats, or simply relaxing on their mat. There's no pressure—our goal is for you to enjoy your time on the farm.
​
What happens during class?
Your visit begins with time to meet our miniature goats before settling into an approximately 50-minute beginner-friendly yoga class led by a certified instructor. Throughout the class, the goats are free to wander, play, and interact with guests, creating the playful moments that make every class unique. Afterward, you'll have additional time for photos and more goat cuddles.
What should I wear?
Dress comfortably in clothing you don't mind sharing with curious goats! Athletic wear works well, but the most important thing is that you're comfortable.
Because our goats occasionally hop onto backs and shoulders, we recommend wearing a shirt that covers your back. Long hair should be tied back, as our playful goats sometimes mistake ponytails for toys.
Since classes take place outdoors, we also recommend dressing appropriately for the weather and wearing comfortable shoes for walking on grass.
Do I need to bring my own yoga mat?
Yes. Please bring your own yoga mat, towel, or blanket. You're also welcome to bring water and insect repellent.
Goats are naturally curious and may investigate shoelaces, drawstrings, water bottles, or jewelry, so we recommend leaving valuable or delicate accessories at home.
Do I need to bring my own goats?
No—we've got that covered!
What kind of goats will I meet?
Our herd includes miniature Nigerian Dwarf and Pygmy goats, chosen for their friendly personalities and perfect size for interacting with guests.
How many goats will be in the session?
Depending on the size of the session, you'll typically meet between 5 and 15 miniature goats, allowing plenty of opportunities for everyone to interact with the herd.
Where do your goats live?
Our goats live right here at Smith's Corner Farm, where they spend their days browsing, playing, climbing, and enjoying life on the farm. Some members of our herd joined us through rescue and have found their forever home here.
Can I hold a goat?
Please ask one of our staff members if you'd like to hold one of our baby goats. We'll be happy to help when it's appropriate for both you and the goat.
Can I feed the goats?
For their health and safety, we ask that guests do not bring food into the yoga area or feed the goats. Our herd follows a carefully managed diet, and we'd like to keep them healthy and happy.
Are the goats aggressive?
No. Our goats are gentle, friendly, and naturally curious. They may investigate shoelaces, zippers, or loose clothing, but they've been raised to enjoy positive interactions with people.
What about goat poop?
They're real farm animals, so occasional accidents are simply part of farm life. If a goat decides your yoga mat is the perfect place for a few tiny pellets, don't worry—our staff is ready to clean it up quickly.
Outdoor classes take place on grass, where nature takes care of most little messes. We simply ask guests to come expecting an authentic farm experience.
Are restrooms available?
Restroom availability depends on the event location. Details about available amenities will always be listed on the individual event page.
Hand sanitizer is available at all of our events.
Are children welcome?
Children are welcome when they are at least 5 years old, comfortable around animals, and able to remain with their group throughout class. Every participant, including children, must have their own ticket.
Can family or friends watch without participating?
To maintain a relaxed atmosphere and ensure plenty of space for both guests and goats, everyone entering the event area must have a ticket.
Many guests choose to spend more time cuddling goats than doing yoga, and that's perfectly fine—but every visitor must have their own reservation.
Do you offer refunds?
Tickets are non-refundable, but we understand that life happens. Guests may reschedule according to our Reschedule Policy. We encourage you to notify us as soon as possible so we can offer your reserved spot to another guest.
