Simply Soulful
**Coronavirus Update**
It is with a heavy heart we announce all pending and future Goat Yoga sessions have been cancelled due to COVID-19. Each month we have been rolling bookings from one month to the next, in hopes that we might be able to resume sessions some time this year. However, despite the relaxation of restrictions to allow both outdoor exercise for groups of 6, and indoor studio yoga sessions, it is proving just too difficult to combine social distancing and hygiene precautions with the quality of experience you deserve. We are very sorry for any disappointment this may cause. However we have a duty to act with the best endeavours for ourselves, each other and all beings on earth, and hope you understand and support our decision.
If you have booked a Goat Yoga event or purchased a gift voucher, please contact me to arrange a refund. Thank you.
In the meanwhile, there is a new schedule of daily classes and workshops available live online via Zoom. In addition, Beach Yoga and SUP Yoga will take place between mid-June and September, subject to prevailing government health and safety guidelines.
We would like to thank the Dartington Dairy team (both the human and animal varieties) for an amazing couple of years of fun, laughter and gorgeous goat cuddles - alas we now hang up our Goat Yoga hats - and look forward to focusing our energies on pastures new.

The Goat Yoga was JUST WONDERFUL. We absolutely being able to cuddle the goats and pigs. Their curiosity was adorable. Such a memorable event!! We travelled from London especially and it was more than worth the 500 mile round trip

Adult Goat Yoga - best Friday night for a long time! Great from start to finish!!
Mrs J.W.
I've wanted to join a goat yoga class ever since I heard about Donna's classes - it completely lived up to my expectations and more! Donna's description of laughter, animal and yoga therapy all in one could not sum it up better! Absolutely brilliant! I also got a chance to do the beach yoga class - such a beautiful location and Donna was brilliant at making it accessible for everyone, as well as pitching it at a great pace - slow enough to find peace in each position and enjoy the scenery, yet not too slow. I've been inspired to start doing more yoga back home. Thanks Donna

Ms. A.M.
We joined Donna for a private goat yoga session for part of a hen weekend and had a fantastic time! It's impossible not to keep giggling when the gorgeous goats are gambolling around whilst you try to maintain a warrior pose - and somehow its relaxing at the same time! Thank you Donna for adding so much to our weekend - we had so much fun!
Ms S.D.
.... Goat Yoga, you ask? What? Why? Well, don't knock it until you’ve tried it! A joy-filled hour of positive goaty energy... makes you want to leap and frolic like, well... a baby goat. Funny that...
Ms H.L.

Family Goat Yoga made me roll up – and I’m not talking about the mat! Donna is a great teacher, who stayed professional whilst the goats caused havoc! I haven’t laughed like that in ages. The kids love it!
Mrs N. L.
Goat Yoga was a wonderful hands-on experience and I loved the ‘animal connection’ with each yoga pose. The farm visit was excellent, and Farmer Jon was extremely informative.

We attended the Family Goat Yoga which was a truly magical and therapeutic experience. My child is on the autistic spectrum and he benefited hugely in the hour. Animal Therapy at its best! We all left relaxed and with huge smiles on our faces!

8 of us went together to the Family Goat Yoga, as part of our week's holiday in Devon. Great fun. Informative tour, fun yoga, thoughtful commentary and lots of laughter and goat cuddles. An unforgettable experience. Thank you

Mr C.T.
Goat Yoga class was perfect for all levels. Great fun with the goats! Thank you
Ms L.R.
Really enjoyed the Goat Yoga experience from start to finish, it was lovely to get a tour of the farm and have any questions answered. The pace of the day was just right and we got to spend time with the goats in a relaxed setting. The yoga was great, I like that it linked to animals. I look forward to doing it again soon. Such a unique and enjoyable experience, thank you!
Ms K.W.
I often treat yoga very seriously and set my expression to 'no laugh or smile' without realising it. Today that was impossible at Goat Yoga. A real opportunity to leave the feeling of 'needing to do it properly' at the door. Donna was very professional and the goats were gorgeous
Mr O.D.
AMAZING! Would do Goat Yoga again and recommend. Donna was brilliant (and the goats of course!)
Mr J.T. and Ms A.H.
What an amazing experience! A fantastic Goat Yoga class in an amazing location - and the goats are just beautiful. Great way to spend an afternoon
Ms R.L.
I am a yoga beginner but Donna, I loved your teaching. Gentle but informative. To smile at the goats antics was joy, definitely released good hormones! Really enjoyed the farm tour too! Would definitely recommend!
Ms A.B.
Brilliant idea - Tour of the farm was appreciated and really interesting. The yoga session was well led and the goats added a lot of fun
Ms H.D.W.
Fantastic session at Goat Yoga. Great to have a giggle - Brilliant therapy. Wonderful class led by Donna. Thank you
Ms C.B.
What a great time we had at Family Goat Yoga. A unique and fun experience for our daughter's 13th birthday party!
Mr S.B.
I attended Family Goat Yoga with my 5 year old daughter - we had a lot of fun! Yoga stories were great for children and age appropriate for all ages. Prepared to be nibbled!
Mrs S.S.
I loved the whole experience of Goat Yoga, from the introduction to the farm and its history to the actual session, the goat cuddling afterwards and the optional milking session too. It was not only a unique experience but it was so informative. I loved the fact I came away with a better understanding of the challenges farmers face as well as an even greater love of goats. I love yoga and find it very helpful especially when everyday life can be stressful at times, and being with animals is so healing and calming, and it made me realise how the simple things in life are really the best.
Mrs T.R.
Goat Yoga is a truly magical experience and the joy it brought each and every one of us was tangible. I loved the fact the whole session included animals – the fact you included the animals in each element and statement was so lovely. I came away feeling truly blessed to have such a positive experience, and having recently lost my mother after 10 years of caring for her with dementia I truly felt I was finding my way out of sadness. Laughter helps and I defy anyone not to feel joy looking at some of the goats antics.
Mrs T.R.
Goat Yoga was absolutely brilliant. A really fun and also relaxing experience. Farm and farmer both amazing. Donna was a fantastic yoga teacher. Will definitely come again and highly recommend
Mr & Mrs M.B.

Ms S.H.
Goat Yoga was absolutely brilliant. Wish i was closer to come to your classes regularly. Will 100% recommend you and Goat Yoga. A+. Best birthday ever!
Ms R.P.
Our goat yoga session with Donna was a lovely, light-hearted way to relax and enjoy some yoga at the weekend with 4 legged friends
Ms L.B.
Fantastic teacher, lovely goats, great fun, I shall be back!
Mrs J.L.
Goat Yoga - Loved it - Thoroughly recommended. Try it you won’t be disappointed ... Good yoga even if you’re not a yogi like me
If you like animals ... (the kid goats seemed to enjoy it even more than us and well cared for x ) - Join these together with a good group and great teacher and you will have a goatastic time. Thanks to you all for a great session xx
Ms J.B.J.
If I ever have to think of my “happy place” then I will think of the goat yoga session. So much laughter and totally being absorbed in the moment with the goats. The teacher was still able to provide yoga instructions – she was certainly very calm inside to be able to teach and not break into laughter herself. Apologies for not doing a lot of exercises but it was the best fun ever!
