Goat Yoga in Asheville

Nope! The yoga session is appropriate for all levels and is a great introduction to the practice and a sweet opportunity to stretch & move even if you haven’t tried it yet. All of our instructors are accustomed to teaching to varied levels of experience and will be happy to offer modifications and prompts throughout the class.

Some people like to join simply to be in the presence of playful goats. As long as you’re not disruptive to those who are practicing, you’re very welcome to settle into the peace of goat snuggles. Some guests join and simply rest in savasana for the full hour. No judgement here! Note that all guests must register and pay in full whether practicing or not. There is not a separate observer fee. This ensures we have enough space for all attendees, the goats, the wranglers, and your instructor.

Wear loose fitting clothing, long pants, shirts with sleeves, and clothes that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty. The goats occasionally poo/pee on yoga mats and rarely do so on humans but it is possible so definitely dress accordingly!

Please plan on bringing your own yoga mat or you may rent a mat in advance for an additional fee. You’ll also want sun protection like sunscreen, hat, or long sleeves is critical as your yoga practice typically takes place in the sunny, open field. Round it out with a full water bottle, adventurous spirit, and readiness to play and you’ll be all set 🙂

Weather is part of the practice! These events will be held rain or shine. In the case of inclement weather, we’ll move under the cover of the open air barn. Don’t forget to bring an open mind and adventurous spirit! It is sure to be an experience to remember! If Asheville Wellness Tours cancels for any reason, we will refund your purchase in full or reschedule you if you prefer.

You will receive detailed driving instructions in your confirmation email. You are responsible for getting yourself to/from the farm. It is important to note that, while an Uber/Lyft may bring you to the location, they often will NOT pick you up. If you do not have transportation, we recommend reaching out to AVL Ride several days in advance of your arrival. The team there will pre-arrange round trip transportation for some of the most reasonable rates in town. After receiving your confirmation email, please take a look at your route and estimated travel time a day or two prior so you know how to prepare. I also recommend snapping a screenshot of the directions before leaving town in case you lose cell service along the way. Driving in the mountains is different than cruising down the highway so assume the drive will take at least 10mins more than what Google Maps estimates just in case. NOTE: the class begins NO LATER than 10mins after the start time. Parties who are 10+ mins late may be left behind and no refunds will be issued.

Any children under the age of 18 will need a parent/guardian present to sign their liability waiver. For families with children 10 and younger, please contact us to schedule a Private Goat Yoga session any day of the week.

Maybe! The goats will nibble your clothes, belongings, hair, everything! And they might poop. Luckily, they have small pellets that can be easily shaken from your mat (or your back!!). Please dress appropriately.
