Original Goat Yoga TM wasn't anticipated. There were no business plans or focus groups to point the way. However, its core existed in the form of a nightly farm walk that visitors came to know as "Goat Happy Hour."

What do you do when you've just been diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disease, you are going through a divorce, and your job of ten years is winding down? Do you throw caution to the wind and start something the world has never known, or do you play it safe? Playing it safe was not an option for Lainey Morse.
The happy distractions and joy provided by goats helped Original Goat Yoga's founder cope with difficult times Unexpectedly, goats were also the reason for goat yoga's surprising longevity.

No, we do not allow spectators at our class. We want everyone to have the best experience and sometimes people feel uncomfortable when they feel other people are watching. Goat Happy Hour is a trademarked term meaning goat therapy. Every Goat Yoga class is followed by Goat Happy Hour. This is the time to snuggle goats, take goat selfies, learn more about the goats or have a farm tour.

The goats were incredibly cute, and there was yoga, but not a lot of effort put in otherwise. The description of the event stated there would be a goat themed happy hour.

It may be an odd thing to complain about, but I purchased this as a gift thinking it would be all done up. My partner and I had high expectations, and unfortunately there were no cute sweaters or adult drinks. Just cider, hot cocoa and cookies. It seemed very
