Goat yoga

[Pterodactyl]

I just learned that this is a thing that exists.

A variation of the practice that is making waves is called the Goat Yoga. Goat yoga incorporates animal therapy where yogis exercise and meditate in the presence of goats. It is a novel way of fusing the healing benefits of yoga and goat therapy.

I assume that stretching (yoga) probably has some health benefits.
The goats though?

Goats are awesome. I wouldn't be surprised if goats invented yoga, just to have one more thing to be smug about.

It looks like pointless fun. Plus who doesn't like goats?

I actually agree. My goat, Gnarley, often appeared to be meditating.

They also have a wonderful aroma.

Goats are cool. Yoga, as a fitness activity, has some health benefits. Doing it in the presence of animals is probably fun and adds to the experience.

Besides the novelty and petting-zoo-ish fun factor, animal-assisted therapy is a real thing with evidence supporting it. I doubt anyone participating in these yoga sessions are benefiting from it in that way, as I doubt they're structured like actual animal therapy sessions (so obviously, I'm not a fan of them branding it as such, but making outrageous claims is kind of par for the course with yoga), but I have a hard time finding fault with a fun way to engage people in exercise. If anything, I'd assume it's safer than hot yoga. And honestly, hanging out with goats might even motivate me to do some yoga.

They might actually improve the smell of yoga studio!

Well it sounds interesting, I doubt it will ever replace Lemoga though.

Used to be called "Acting the goat."

Eff that noise. Have you not looked into their dead, rectangular-pupiled soulless and evil eyes?

Plus they smell like a punctured can of rancid tumors.

Why anyone would want to be within stench radius of these creatures is beyond me.

Quite a few of the farmers around here who have goats have an outside shower that they have to use and then put on fresh clothes before their wives would allow them in the house.


The piercing odour sticks to clothes and skin and is very tough to eliminate. You don’t want to be wearing clothes you are fond of when you have an encounter of the male goat kind.

...I heard he was more of a goat enthusiast.

I don't believe shemp's enthusiasm is limited to yoga. Or goats. So many other animals that he - uh - cares about.
