Hello Critter Goat Yoga — Local services in Santa Monica

Yoga with goats? You've goat to be kidding me! That's exactly what I thought when I found out about this combination of fitness and furry creature. And because I'm into those two things, I decided that I had to try this. Tickets can be found on Eventbrite for $26 and classes are usually sold out a week or so before the class date.

The yoga sessions are held at different locations, but the one I went to was at Art Works Studio. The instructors and staff were all really friendly and enthusiastic. Goats climbing onto your back during certain poses may seem strange at first, but it does become something oddly enjoyable right away. Because instructors directed the three goats with treats, virtually everyone got a chance to interact with them. Compared to a typical yoga class, this one was more laughs and smiles.

Amazing experience doesn’t even begin to describe the adventure we went on with Hello Critter! From the moment of booking to the day of the event, Michelle was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. She is professional and you can tell that she truly loves what she does.

We opted for a 50/50 experience, spending the first half of our session doing yoga with the goats and the second half exploring nature with them. We were able to take an unlimited amount of photos and videos with the goats and Michelle was more than happy to take and share photos and videos of her own. I expected it to be a fun-filled day, but it exceeded my expectations in all the best ways. There were lots of laughs, good vibes all around, and many memories made during this experience that will not be soon forgotten. Thank you Hello Critter for a...

My daughter and I wanted to do something fun and special together before she left for college. We were watching funny goat videos online as we love animals and laughing. And next thing we knew, we signed up for a goat yoga class with Hello Critter Goat Yoga. It was so much fun! The goats Fanny and Gigi (also my daughter's name!) were adorable and it was so cute to have such a unique interaction with the goats climbing on our backs and walking under our legs during yoga poses. Smiles and laughs galore! And the whole goat yoga team was super nice....
