Classes are appropriate for beginners and families, all children must be accompanied by adults. Great for those with little or no experience (or those who want to maximize the GOAT part of the yoga!). We will include poses that invite the baby goats to climb all over you, not that this bunch of babies needs much invitation to do that!
