goat yoga with healing with crystal flow and air - Grits in the City

I’ve always been curious to try goat yoga. I love yoga. I love goats. Why wouldn’t I love yoga and goats? I’ve never come across goat yoga anywhere close enough to be possible — until last month!

When I saw it pop up as one of the workshops on the Air New Providence website, I was thrilled! The workshop was in partnership wit Samantha of Healing with Crystal Flow. Sam is also an Air instructor!

What to bring & wear

I was worried about what to wear since it was a pretty warm day. I was happy I went with a sleeveless shirt that was good for yoga but wasn’t cropped. If you want to have the goats on your back, I found it more comfortable to have on something that fully covered my back and that wasn’t too delicate that I’d be worried about it getting snagged.

What to expect at Goat Yoga

Not all classes will be the same but this one was a slow paced hatha class, allowing time for you to both enjoy a true yoga class and to experience spending time with the goats, who were so sweet and friendly and roamed around freely throughout the class. Before we started the class, we did spend some time feeding the goats some snacks, though I’d like to think we would have been friends just the same.
