Original Goat Yoga- Lansing MI

Tucked into the quiet countryside of Williamston, Michigan, Original Goat Yoga Lansing MI has built something more than a novelty yoga class. The farm's beautifully restored barn—thoughtfully decorated, immaculately clean, and remarkably free of the barnyard odor you might expect—serves as the centerpiece for a range of goat-centric experiences that draw couples, families, and friend groups from across the region.

Private Goat Happy Hours offer exclusive farm access with baby goats in arms and personalized tours from the owner

The signature Goat Happy Hour is where this venue truly distinguishes itself. Booked as private events, these sessions grant your group run of the entire farm. The owner leads guests on a personal tour while baby goats trot alongside or are cradled in participants' arms. Event coordinator Melanie handles the booking process, making arrangements straightforward and painless. Groups have booked these for Mother's Day gifts, Christmas presents, and milestone celebrations—a format that works especially well for those seeking something more intimate and unhurried than a standard class.

Owner Shawn welcomes guests like old friends, sometimes extending visits well beyond scheduled hours

Shawn, the farm's owner, sets a tone that is warm, personable, and genuinely excited to share her animals and property. She lets guests linger 45 minutes after class ends for extra time with newborn goats—five-week-old kids being a particular highlight. The animals are clearly well-loved, clean, gentle, and friendly. However, prospective visitors should know that Shawn's enthusiasm for her origin story takes up a significant portion of some sessions. Those expecting a full yoga class may find the actual time spent in poses limited, with storytelling and farm background consuming much of the schedule.

The barn space itself elevates the experience beyond typical farm animal encounters

This is no ordinary barn. The event space has been carefully decorated to feel peaceful and intentional, with a flow that moves from yoga into unstructured goat socializing and photo opportunities. Instructor Kirbay leads classes with a light, fun approach that keeps the mood accessible even for those who admit they came strictly for the goats. The farm grounds are well-kept and quiet, providing a genuine retreat from daily stress. Original Goat Yoga works best for visitors who embrace the full experience—story, setting, animals, and all—rather than arriving with strict expectations about yoga instruction time.
