Goats sit on yoga practitioners’ backs, participants say they find it relaxing
Approximately 20 people took part in an introductory goat yoga session at an Echo Bay farm on Saturday evening.
“We’re trying a new, unique type of yoga incorporating animal therapy with goats. We have three Nigerian Dwarf baby goats participate and play around your yoga mat and jump on you in yoga positions in the barn while you’re doing yoga,” Domingue said. It is believed Saturday’s session marked the first time a goat yoga session was held in the Algoma District, Domingue said.
Farm owner Andrea Moscicky reached out to Domingue after she began practicing yoga and then suggested bringing in the goats. Domingue said she was pleased with the interest and reaction from participants at Saturday’s session.Farm owner Moscicky - with dogs, cats, three goats, four horses and a cow - said “animal therapy has really helped me so I contacted Sarah to get something going. I’m so happy to bring animal therapy to people. It makes me feel great to share animal therapy with other people. Eventually I do want to open an animal therapy barn.
