I live in the town where goat yoga started :) I was told it happened by accident. The founder of goat yoga had a regular yoga studio that was temporarily closed for a reason I have forgotten. A friend of hers offered to host the yoga classes on her farm. During the sessions, the friend's goats would wander over to the students and sometimes stand on them :) Everyone loved the experience so much they asked if they could keep the sessions on the farm with the goats :)
I thought it was a cute story. A "happy accident" that created a whole new adorable way of practicing yoga :) :)
Goats are so wonderful--I can see why they would be an intensely charming and healing addition to yoga :) :)
