What is Goat Yoga aka
Yoga with Goats?
Goat Yoga Near Saratoga Springs NY | Outdoor Yoga with Goats at Into The Woods Farm
A Goat Yoga Experience is different things for different people. It has been described as “calm”, "therapy", “zen", and just plain “happiness.” However, there is one recurrent description…” unexpected.” Unexpected certainly describes goats. Then add in yoga and see what happens.
​
Yoga with Goats is Animal-Assisted Therapy in a natural setting with an unexpectedly (there’s that word again) smart, social, and profoundly cuddly animal. It’s not a cancer cure, but it is an unbelievable distraction from politics, work, stress, sickness, and depression.
Yoga with Goats is all about stepping away from the stress of everyday life and reconnecting with joy, nature, and the present moment. Many participants find that goat yoga can help reduce stress, ease anxiety, improve mood, and encourage a more positive mindset. It’s nearly impossible to stay serious when a goat hops sideways in play or pops up to interact with the group. Their naturally calm, curious, and gentle personalities create a relaxing and uplifting environment.
The Into The Woods Farm herd has become a group of wonderful Goat Yoga ambassadors, participating in sessions and public events with children, adults, and seniors since 2016. They interact in a way that is engaging yet gentle, adding to the experience without ever feeling overwhelming. We offer 1–2 public classes per month from May through October, featuring slow, gentle yoga led by certified instructors Christine Riccio (RYT 500) or Tristin Hoatling (RYT 500). Each session lasts 45 minutes to one hour and includes an additional 30 minutes for goat snuggling, mingling, and photos. Classes are $35 per person (off-site events range from $45–$55), and advance registration is required.

What Makes Our Goat Yoga Different
-
At Into The Woods Farm, goat yoga isn’t just a trend—it’s an immersive experience rooted in nature, animal care, and connection. Our goats live freely on acres of forested land, surrounded by their herd mates and doing what goats love most: playing, lounging in the sun, and interacting with people.
-
Natural Environment, Happy Goats
-
Our goats are in their natural element—not in diapers or costumes. While they may wear collars as needed for gentle handling, we believe in allowing goats to simply be goats. They roam, eat, nap, climb platforms, and play at their own pace in a peaceful and enriching setting.
-
No Forced Breeding for Yoga
-
Unlike other goat yoga programs, we do not breed specifically to have "baby goats" (kids) for classes. Our goats are bred responsibly to provide milk for our family, and any kids born are a welcomed bonus—not the focus. All goats are raised with love—either dam-raised (by their mother) or bottle-fed when necessary—and are handled daily by our family and friends to ensure they are friendly and well-socialized.
-
Gentle, Friendly, and Inclusive
-
Our herd includes goats of all ages who are gentle and kind with people of all ages—from toddlers to seniors. Their easygoing temperament makes them ideal companions during yoga and beyond.
-
Ask, Learn, Connect
