Yoga with Goat kids!
Combining the benefits of vinyasa yoga with the playful antics of baby goats.
Thank you for an amazing 2026 season!
What is Goat Yoga?
As its name suggests, goat yoga is a novelty practice where participants practice yoga alongside young goat companions. The idea was popularized in 2014 by Lainey Morse, who says her goats would always brighten her day during some of the most challenging times of her life. She was inspired to bring that same feeling to others, and goat yoga soon became widespread.
Goat yoga may sound silly in practice, but its goal is ultimately to make yoga participants laugh, smile and just have fun. As a result, they will find more peace and tranquility.
At Sage Meadow Farm, we practice Caprine Vinyasa. Put simply, Caprine Vinyasa is a beginners’ yoga class enhanced with playful goat-kids. Each class is taught by a certified yoga instructor. Class participants are encouraged to pet, cuddle and hold the kids, at the kids’ leisure. You may find yourself in a posture, when suddenly a goat-kid (or posse of kids) may start climbing on you. Like most youngsters, goat kids are easily distracted and have a short attention span, so their visits with you are likely to be in brief intervals. But they also are known to suddenly lay down on a random mat for a quick nap.
Our Annual Children's Class was a blast!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 2026 Children’s Goat Yoga Class! It was a fun-filled afternoon of yoga, laughter, and goat cuddles, and we’re grateful to all the families who made it such a special event. We look forward to seeing you again next year!
Why Yoga with Goats?
While it’s true that a meditative yoga practice is good for the mind and body, every now and then, we all need to step back from taking ourselves too seriously. Goat kids’ playful antics will often interact with practicing yogis, helping them to stay present in the moment. Do you stretch deeper into the pose, or do you relax and nuzzle with a curious kid that is demanding your attention? You get to decide!
How are the goat-kids with all of this?
Our goat-kids love the attention! From the moment they are born, our goats are socialized with lots of daily human interaction, as well as interaction with other animals on our farm. This allows them to grow into adulthood with little fear of their human handlers. The only thing kids love more than curling up in a human lap is probably jumping on the person’s shoulders. Our goat-kids are anything but shy! But like all little ones, they have accidents, and we will have pee/poo patrollers on duty to quickly clean up any messes.
2026 Classes have ended for this season!
We are looking forward to you joining us again in the spring of 2027.
As we wrap up our 2026 Goat Yoga season, we'd like to thank everyone who joined us, supported our events, and helped make another year a success.
What began as a fun and unusual farm experience has grown into something truly meaningful. Thanks to the generosity of our participants and partner organizations, Sage Meadow Farm's Goat Yoga program, Caprine Vinyasa, has now surpassed an incredible milestone: more than $75,000 raised for charity since the program began.
Over the years, hundreds of guests have enjoyed yoga, laughter, and plenty of goat antics, all while helping support important causes in our community. We are grateful to every participant, volunteer, sponsor, and organization that has been part of this journey.
Thank you for helping make Caprine Vinyasa such a success. We look forward to welcoming you back next spring for another season of goats, yoga, and giving back.

Attendance is first come, first serve.
Class sizes are limited so that we do not overwhelm the goat-kids, and we’d like all attendees tone able to safely interact with the goats.
Prepare for a yoga experience like no other! Since 2015, Sage Meadow Farm Caprine Vinyasa classes have been a delightful fusion of relaxation, laughter, and adorable baby goats. As we’ve flowed through poses together, these playful and charming baby goats have become integral participants in our charitable journey. With your support, we’ve raised over $75000 for various human and animal charities, individuals and organizations.
We’ve selected beneficiaries for our 2026 season:
The Easthampton Community Center, with a request that a portion of the funds be designated for pet food for those in need.
And
The San Miguel Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, which partners with several NGOs, including organizations that help migrant individuals and families access safety, stability, essential services, and support that affirms the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
And
The Easthampton Farmers Market
2025 Beneficiaries were:
· The Easthampton Community Center
· Mitra Healing Yoga
· Cummington Wildlife Sanctuary
Where will the classes be held?
Our classes are held in the beautiful Boylston Room in the Keystone Building, on Pleasant Street in Easthampton, about a half-mile from Sage Meadow Farm.
The owners of Keystone have been very generous in partnering with us to create a safe and vibrant space for our event. They have even provided us with a discounted rate for the event space.
We can also arrange private sessions for your large group! In addition, we may be able to bring our class (and goat kids) to your location. Our classes usually run in the spring, March-May, with scheduling arranged well in advance, usually in late December. Please contact us if you’d like more information.
Why are we doing this?
It’s simple: We love helping others in our community- both humans and animals. Over the past nine goat-rearing seasons, thanks to the incredible support of community partners and volunteers, we’ve raised over $75,000 for animal and human related causes. That’s a lot of joyful goat yoga sessions, laughter, and meaningful impact! And we are not done yet! As long as we are able, and as long as our goats want to keep interacting with us humans in their own special, fun way, we’ll continue to create these moments of connection and give back to the community we love.
Beneficial in so many ways - and fun, too!
Goat yoga is good for your mental and physical health, and it is sure to put a smile on your face, which may help you find more peace in your practice. See for yourself why goat yoga has become such a popular trend. Join us for Caprine Vinyasa in Easthampton today!
