Enjoy the serenity of Secret Eden with our one hour easy flow yoga practice (all levels) as our herd of Pygmy and Nigerian Dwarf goats and kids meander among you under a cover of pine and catalpa trees. The yoga pasture overlooks a large pond filled with water lilies and lotus. Following yoga enjoy a short hike around the pond with the goats. Plan to arrive a half hour early to sign in and spend time taking selfies and meeting the herd. Practice having goats on your back.
