IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Frequently asked questions
Students arrive at Cook’s Country Connection at 6:00p about 15 minutes before class begins. Drive (slowly, please) to the very end of the driveway and park near the welcoming red and white barn. Bring a yoga mat or towel into the barn to check in and pay for class. Students can mingle with and pet the animals in the barn and on the grounds during the 15 minutes before class. Friendly staff will direct or lead students through the gate and out to the pasture to set up mats. Please remember to close the gate! Once in the pasture, students may remove their shoes, but being barefoot is optional. Before class begins, participants can choose to take animal treats to entice the animals on to their yoga mats. Then, farm ‘wranglers’ will let the remaining animals into the pasture. The baby kid goats and other animals will run happily to meet the students and locate treats. Fun chaos ensues! After the animals and students have met each other, the yoga begins. During class, students will be guided to make yoga shapes with their bodies while the animals roam, mingle, climb on or snuggle with the yoga practitioners! After class, students can mingle with and pet animals on their way out of the pasture and back to the barn parking area.
This is a working farm. And we are practicing yoga in the pasture with the animals.
You can expect some minor dirt. Especially if feeding, petting or snuggling with the goats and other animals.
Although we scoop poop in the pasture before class, attendees may experience animal poop and pee during yoga.
Goat poops are little round dry grass pellets (like deer or bunny scat) that can be shook off of yoga mats easily. Goat pee can be cleaned up with disinfectant wipes available in the pasture.
Only the friendly and well-mannered animals are invited to Farm Yoga!
Animals in the pasture during yoga are usually gentle, curious and sweet.
But, animals are not toys and even friendly animals can be unpredictable.
Please do not hit or be rude to the animals, or they may be rude back! As we said before, a gentle push will move them on if you don't feel like interacting with them.
Cook’s Country Connection is not liable for any injury or insult.
Yes! Book a special class for your group!
The private yoga class price is $100 for up to 4 people, and $20 for each additional person.
The farm availability can be limited so please be patient.
No students under 10 years old, please, because of safety issues.

Bring a yoga mat, towel or blanket to lay down on in the pasture. Wear comfortable clothes that are easy to move in. Water to drink, if you want. Sunglasses if it’s bright out. Maybe a few squirts of bug spray before entering the pasture. (Clothes, mats, water bottles, purses, phones and anything brought to class in the pasture may get minor dirt, nibbles and goat footprints on them.)
