Yoga With Goats

A beginner friendly yoga class

We hope this email finds you summertime flexible. Summertime flexible you ask? It's the time when many winter hibernators hear the call of the outdoors. Trail hiking, kayaking, par course doing, tennis racket swinging. Even a simple walk outdoors is so different from the treadmill. Hills, uneven surfaces, sidewalk curves giving us a (sometimes) welcome change of pace and challenge. *** Is flexibility an integral part of your fitness journey? I am gardening a LOT right now, with a five-year plan to create a native plants, pollinator friendly food forest in our yard. Shoveling from mountains of topsoil, compost and mulch. Shout out to Grow Pittsburgh (https://www.growpittsburgh.org/ ). On my knees, digging holes, pulling weeds, & praying I get the tomatoes before the groundhogs do. Depending on your activity, all the joints and muscle groups can take a beating! Harvard Health explains why stretching is important: "Stretching keeps the muscles flexible and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage." https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthy-aging-and-longevity/the-importance-of-stretching
YogaNuvo aims to help you train with strength, balance, mobility AND flexibility. Please join us for a healthy, healing stretch. A beginner friendly class, we meet Mondays on Zoom. [email protected] for more information.

Yoga With Goats, 10am Saturday June 13, 2026
If you want something fun to do this weekend, there are many options but none quite like Yoga With Goats. It's a beginner friendly, lively yoga practice with plenty of breaks to play with the energetic goaties. *** This is not a quiet, reverent yoga class. There's head butting (goats only), laughter, & you may even get to peek in on our new baby lambs after class.

By the way, the goats don't like rain or a wet, soggy pasture. If rainfall is forecast for the Friday before or the Saturday of class, please check our page “Yoga With Goats” for possible cancellations before heading out to the farm.
