At Galena Goat Yoga, our services are focused on providing a one-of-a-kind experience that combines physical wellness with the pure joy of animal interaction.
Goat Yoga: Our signature offering is a one-hour goat yoga session priced at $35.00. Each class includes a thoughtful and fun yoga flow led by an instructor, with the added presence of our friendly, well-cared-for goats. They interact with you throughout the class, offering cuddles, head bumps, and plenty of laughs. This is a unique way to combine physical exercise with animal therapy and stress relief.
Private Events: We offer the option to book private events for groups. Whether you're planning a birthday party, a corporate team-building event, a bachelorette party, or a family gathering, a private goat yoga session is a memorable and fun way to celebrate. We can customize the experience to fit your group's needs and ensure everyone has a fantastic time.
Goat Encounters (Coffee and Goats): As highlighted in a customer review, we are also flexible and accommodating, offering unique experiences like "Coffee and Goats." This tailored encounter allows guests to simply enjoy interacting with the goats in our "cozy home" studio, with refreshments and food pellets provided for the animals. It’s a perfect option for a cold day or for those who prefer more time with the goats and less focus on yoga poses.

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Such a fun and unique experience! The owner’s inspiring life story added so much heart to the class. The space was welcoming to everyone, the goats were adorable and well cared for, and the flow of the class was thoughtful and fun. Highly recommend!
June 07 · Taylor ShanahanThis review is pretty late; however, I definitely want to recommend Galena Goat Yoga to everyone. My wife and I visited in February, 2024, when it was cold out. The owner was very gracious and let us use the studio for "Coffee and Goats". The studio is similar to a cozy home, with a finished floor. It was very clean and warm. The host offered us refreshments and cookies to start plus cups of food pellets for the goats. Once the goats entered the barn, we knew immediately we had our hands full. They really liked the pellets and were extremely friendly, especially Jasper, the alpha. We had fun interacting with all the goats as each has their own personality. We both have our favorites goats now. I especially liked the demure nature of Daphne. She's beautiful! We ran around, hugged, and pet all the goats. It was really fun. The owner and daughter were really nice and answered all our goat questions. If you really want to have a unique and memorable experience, you need to check this place out!!!
October 19 · MotoKraftzOur Bachelorette group of 8 joined Jenn for an amazing morning of guided yoga surrounded by the sweetest goat tribe. I highly recommend booking your group for a really fun and memorable experience. Jenn is such a sweet human and is very knowledgeable and intentional with her practice. We got to take our time and she made sure to get all of the photos we wanted. We hope to visit again soon!
July 27 · Lindsey BergYes, Original Goat Yoga is worth the hype!!!There were 2 groups of goats that were involved in our yoga experience. The 1st group of goats were the older goats - much more chill vibes. They were around for our yoga class. It was easy to go through the motions with these gentle giants around.After our yoga, the gals gathered the older goats and let in the “younger” group- they were nuts! These were the goats that wanted to play! They were like big gold retriever dogs- just so friendly and full of energy!The gals here “understood the assignment”. They are prepared and ready for photo ops! They have props for birthdays, anniversaries, bridal parties! There’s also PLENTY of time for everyone to take their photos. These photos are priceless! A goat on your back?! So fun!!There’s lockers for all your things- mostly to keep the goats from going through them;) We brought an extra set of clothes to head to brunch after in- I wasn’t sure if goats shed hair like dogs (they kinda do but not a crazy amount).Absolutely add this to your agenda! It’s a short drive from Galena and SO WORTH IT!
March 15 · Jennifer KripasWe had such a good time. The instructor was great, and her helpers kept things going smoothly. The goats were so fun and friendly, and they all have different personalities. It's a unique experience in the best way.
