What to Expect in a Class?
Goat Yoga is all about joy, laughter, and connection. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned yogi, you’ll stretch, smile, and share space with friendly goats who might hop on your mat or nuzzle for attention. Classes take place in scenic barns, fields, or peaceful outdoor spaces-perfect for “farming happiness.”

About the Founder, Lainey Morse
When life handed Lainey Morse an incurable autoimmune diagnosis, a divorce, and a fading career, she didn’t play it safe-she created something entirely new. Inspired by the joy of her goats, she launched Original Goat Yoga in 2016.
What began as a small idea quickly went viral, leading to a whirlwind of media attention and a growing community. With 20 years of marketing experience, Lainey built a business model that helps others start and sustain their own goat yoga ventures.
Featured by CNN, The New York Times, Time Magazine, Wall Street Journal, NPR, BBC, and more, Lainey now shares her story of resilience, rural connection, and the simple happiness of a goat choosing your yoga mat.
