Horse and Goat Yoga

Horse and Goat Yoga operates as a rescue-based animal sanctuary in Maple Glen, Pennsylvania, with an event footprint extending across PA and NJ. The organization saved its farm property from development to serve as a permanent home for rescued horses, goats, and other farm animals. All proceeds from yoga classes and events go directly toward covering food, healthcare, and shelter for these animals.

The Experience

Classes feature rescued baby goats, which wear diapers, onesies, and suspenders during sessions. Participants must bring their own yoga mats. Each 1.5-hour session consists of one hour of yoga—during which the goats cuddle with participants and attempt poses alongside them—followed by 30 minutes of dedicated baby bottle feeding and snuggle time. Farm classes are held outside, moving into the barn during winter or rainy weather.

What Makes Them Different

The organization maintains a strict no-refund policy, stating explicitly that since events function as fundraisers for the animals, refunds are not offered. Beyond farm-based classes, Horse and Goat Yoga runs a "Bah, Sip & Play" program that partners with local businesses including The Juice Pod, Uptown Beer Garden, Hopewell Valley Vineyards, Puddler's Kitchen & Tap, and Schaylor Brewing Co. These off-site events include a complimentary drink with the ticket price. The sanctuary also shares space and cross-promotes with neighboring Organic Heirlooms Farm and Rose Bridge Farm & Sanctuary, creating a broader destination for visitors. Horse yoga and an adoption program indicate a mission extending beyond the goat yoga trend.
