Los Angeles Times - I did yoga with a goat standing on my back and discovered an L.A. fountain of youth
When I arrived at goat yoga class Wednesday night, I had two things on my mind.
First, I don’t do yoga.
Second, I don’t generally hang out with goats.
So what was I doing there?
I asked myself that as I saw one of the goats, Burlap, eating a hedge while the other, Billy, rammed a bench with his horns.
Mel Magazine - Goats Are All The Rage Right Now
I’m in the midst of an hourlong yoga class at Laughing Frog Yoga in Santa Monica, during which a pair of 15-pound white baby Nigerian Dwarf goats named “Lil’bit” and “Fanny Farm Girl” — whose black spots, tiny horns and floppy ears more closely resemble stuffed animals than livestock — are headbutting, nuzzling and leaping on us while we attempt to hold a series of poses.

As the only place in the U.S. where you can get a Master's Degree in yoga, Los Angeles is flooded with yoga options: Hot yoga, baby yoga, disco yoga, 420 yoga, or astral projection yoga.

If you haven’t reached into bakasana alongside a baby goat named Spanky, you have not yet ascended.

LA Weekly - Doing Yoga With Tiny Goats and a Mini Horse in Glendale
On a gray and chilly Saturday morning in Glendale, around 75 people gathered for a yoga session at Griffith Park's Bette Davis Park Picnic Area. But the real guests of honor were of the four-legged variety: a miniature horse and four pygmy goats brought out by Party Goats LA and Hello Critter Care.

LAist - 'Goat Yoga' Is Now Apparently A Thing
The pastoral pastime, which winningly combines mild exercise with adorable baby animals, has been reported mostly in small farm towns across America, from Virginia and New Hampshire to Oregon and Colorado. But the goat yoga session being held last weekend, in a stretch of park so tranquil you’d forget it was straddled by the 5 and 134 freeway interchange if it weren’t for the hum of nearby traffic, appears to be the first of its kind in Los Angeles.

Toluca Lake - Fit for the New Year

Instructor Jocelyn Yamasaki says that students are able to stretch and strengthen their bodies, refresh their minds and pet baby goats all in one place.
KCET - Where to Get Your Goat Yoga On
Not surprisingly, the goat yoga movement in L.A. has a distinctly showbiz angle to it. It arose out of Hire Our Party Goats, which — with former child actor Scout (née Jessica) Raskin at the helm — hires out its goats for film shoots, birthday parties and other events. Her two Nigerian Dwarfs have been trained well to respond to treats — so it was a natural evolution to partner with the Hello Critter Care pet service and place those treats strategically on the not-so-unsuspecting backs of yogis and yoginis.

We enjoy participating in fundraisers to help those less fortunate than ourselves.
Jewish Journal - Creativity in Two Shakes of a Goat’s Tail
My writing had gotten stale. I needed a creative boost. I’d taken workshops over the years, but I always had the nagging feeling that they lacked something. What could it be? A celebrity instructor? Genius students? A tropical location? No. As it turned out, the thing that was missing from my classes was baby Nigerian dwarf goats.
