Yes, it’s a thing.
Children’s Fairyland’s Animal
Caretaker Maura McMichael first heard about it about a month and a half ago,
when family and friends started sending her clips from the New York Times, USA
Today, and ABC News. One of the first yoga-with-goats classes took place in a
town about 70 miles south of Portland, Ore.; it now has a waiting list of 600.
People, not goats.
At first Maura thought it was
funny. Then she realized that yoga-with-goats was a dream come true. “This
combines two of the most wonderful thing in my life,” she says. She thinks
other people will enjoy it, too, so she’s working on a plan to lead classes at
Fairyland, when the park isn’t open to the public.
