Original Goat Yoga- Middle Grove NY

Original Goat Yoga in Middle Grove operates out of Averill Park, New York, bringing the now-iconic practice of goat-assisted yoga to the Capital Region. The farm-based setting provides a pastoral backdrop where traditional yoga postures meet the unpredictable energy of a roaming goat herd.

Goats roam freely among participants during yoga practice

During sessions, goats wander across the yoga mats and surrounding grass, interacting naturally with practitioners. The animals are accustomed to human contact and move through the space at their own pace, creating an organic rather than staged experience.

Classes take place in an outdoor farm environment

The setting is a working farm landscape rather than a traditional studio space. Participants practice on the ground in open air, surrounded by the sights and sounds of a rural property. This means sessions are subject to seasonal conditions and the natural rhythms of farm life.
