Yoga, goats, and Texas country music... if that sounds like a good time, you may want to head to Blackwater Draw in Downtown Bryan on Thursday, April 26th for a goat yoga class.

Rachel Henson is the owner of Goat Yoga Houston and says incorporating the pygmy goats into the workout keeps it fun and is a way to relieve stress.

"The class is not your normal yoga class. Not just the goats, we laugh, we sing. It is pretty much "foga" if you will, it's fun yoga," said Henson.

Henson has always had a passion for animals and started doing yoga for health reasons about five years ago. About a year ago, she combined two of her passions and began teaching goat yoga.

The classes are a hour and fifteen minutes long. The first 45 minutes is all about yoga and for the last thirty minutes, the focus is on goat cuddles.

During the yoga portion there will be a handler to help you interact with the goats. You can lift them during tree pose or have them walk on your back during table pose.

Rachel is teaching five classes on Thursday, April 26th at Blackwater Draw in Downtown Bryan. The classes are designed for beginners.

The first class starts at 2:00 p.m. and the last class starts at 8:00 p.m. You must pre-register for the classes.

There is a link to the Goat Yoga Houston website under the related links section of this story where you can buy tickets.

Tickets at $35. You can rent a mat, but you are encouraged to bring your own if you have one. You can also use a beach towel instead of a mat for this class.
