🧘‍♀️EVENT DETAILS
An unforgettable experience, combining the benefits of a yoga class with animal therapy, taking place outdoors in the fresh air and beautiful surroundings of Animal Edge in Bedfordshire. Get up close and personal with adorable goats, release tension and tightness in the body and lose yourself in smiles and laughter whilst listening to the chatty donkey, peacock, chickens and pigs. Follow the session with Instagram-worthy photos of goat and animal feeding plus s'mores and snacks around the firepit and sunset viewing. What better way to spend an early Summer's evening? . Capture this one of a kind experience with family, friends, colleagues or peers and have plenty to talk about after the weekend.

🔥🧘‍♀️ MORE DETAILS
One hour long gentle yoga surrounded by goats outside followed by optional horse grooming, feeding the animals and then sitting round the fire pit making toasted marshmallows and smores. Vegan options available. Suitable for beginners or advanced yogis. No yoga experience necessary. Danielle and I (and the goats!) are looking forward to seeing you on the mat!!

✅️ WHAT TO BRING
Bring a Yoga mat, some water if needed (light refreshments will be provided free of charge). Don't wear your best yoga gear as it may get dirty or chewed by the goats!
