Vail, CO. (PRWEB) June 14, 2017 -- Hot yoga, Ashtanga, Bikram, Kundalini and now…goat. Yes, this summer’s hottest fitness trend now is offered in the mountains of Colorado as Vail Stables debuts its goat yoga program. From downward dog with kids nibbling at your heels to yoga at 10,250 feet, there are numerous ways for travelers to get their “om” on in Vail this summer.
A meadow of aspen trees overlooking Vail Mountain provides the perfect setting for an outdoor yoga class. This summer, the team at Vail Stables is adding a little kick to its yoga program with 6-12-week old goats roaming throughout the class. The baby goats may jump on participants’ backs, snuggle during poses or just graze on grass. The one-hour, gentle yoga classes are led by certified instructors and accommodate up to 30 people.
Vail Stables’ new goat yoga program is offered daily (10 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.) starting June 23. The happy hour timed class offers an optional wine tasting session. One-hour classes are offered for $35 during low season and $40 during peak July and August dates. Wine tasting classes are $45 low season and $50 for peak July and August dates. Classes are offered through September, weather dependent. Yoga mats and blocks are provided. Participants are encouraged to wear “nibble proof” clothing.
