I had the privilege, many years ago, to interview Yogi Berra. I asked how he got the name Yogi, and he said that when he played sandlot baseball, he would sit cross legged in the dirt waiting for his turn at bat. Someone said he looked like a yogi. The name stuck.
I believe I have met Frodo the sheep. He and his goat friends were playing the parts of Nativity animals at the Mission in Santa Barbara last Christmas.
If you shit when the vibes are right, does that mean they’re shitty vibes?
I practice yoga, and I like goats, so I guess I should put them together!
I like to lie bed and I like to pet my dog so a fun combo for me is lying in bed and petting my dog, which is what I’m doing right now and dictating this comment.
Fascinating stuff. I think we’re way behind in the yoga stakes here in the UK. We’ve only just started hot yoga. But I fancy all of this. Goats ghosts puppies yuppies… bring it on.
I've had cat yoga while in downward dog, and the dog yoga where the dog joins in corpse pose (she's a natural). I'm totally up for goat yoga, as long as it isn't in the morning. Were any goats harmed as they went through the Spanking Machine? Also, asking for the cow-milk intolerant, would this be a great way to get yoga milk in your coffee?
No goats were harmed at any point. Mostly they just got a lot treats. As for the milk, I didn't see any, so I think you're better off going to the store.
Words almost fail me. I've heard of GOAT yoga, but assumed it was an acronym for some kind of trendy yoga. Maybe Grab Orange Ankle Tantric yoga. I never imagined there were actual goats...
So funny. Great reporting and selfies. At the first inkling of goats shitting, I would be out of there. I believe others would rather see me go than see me 🤮.
I thought I might have to leave when I heard, but the weird thing about goats is that their pellets don’t really smell and you just sweep them up. Or rather, there were helpers who cleaned up the messes right away.
I saw baby goat yoga on ozzy and jack’s world detour (season 3!) and it has been my life dream to do this ever since. But puppy yoga! Leveled up! And I don’t live anywhere close to it from the high desert. 2 hours to LA, 2 hours to OC.
Michael, convince me to make this long trek to a world of wonderful fuzzy puppy kisses and goat planks.
I am looking but no luck so far. I will investigate further! I do go to OC every few months and there is BABY goat yoga there. May be my best bet. It’s at a farm!
There are a lot of weird desert communities between you and LA. There has got to be at least one puppy / goat yoga operation near you. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Palm Springs had rival animal yoga studios.
I stopped doing floor exercises at home because my dog always thinks I’m down there to play with him (downward dog indeed!) but maybe I should embrace the opportunity to do free puppy yoga.
Trust the goats. I didn’t do it and I already feel better.

Wow! On so many levels wow. I always wondered about the origins of the nickname. Also, you're a damn legend, sir.
Thanks! Tell your friends!
Boy, if Yogi Berra said half the things he said, he would be halfway there.
*Yoga* Berra
This DOES look like fun! Loved all the photos of you and goats!

Holy cow! I mean sheep (and goats). These guys have some serious range.
Yogi Berra was two credits short of being an official yogi. Or maybe it was guru. But he did the best with what he had.
True.

I think you've found an excellent fun combo!

I tried hot yoga once. It was brutal. I'll stick to regular yoga and animal yoga.

In all your many travels if you find Grab Orange Ankle Tantric yoga, please let me know. I will try it.
NOTED!

Never done goat yoga. I have thought about it, but now that you have informed me there is a thing called puppy yoga, I’d much rather do that.
Do both!

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode, and I can comfortably say it was worth being an investor in this cutting edge journalism.
I loved question #2 (even though I can’t remember it now, I remember laughing out loud).
I’m okay with goat pellets. My head up my yogi neighbor’s ass? That is a big fucking NO SIR.
Thank you for supporting this absurdity, Amy!

Embrace it!
