Goat Yoga Fun: A Day with Daisy Girl Scouts!

Goat Yoga Fun: A Day with Daisy Girl Scouts!

Jillian Shanahan

Hey there, party animals! I’m so excited to share with you all about the unforgettable day we recently had here at WNY Party Goats with a group of delightful Daisy Girl Scouts. 

I live for moments like these – when our furry friends bring joy and magic to people's lives. 

The Daisy Girl Scouts arrived bubbling with excitement, and we wasted no time diving into the fun. But before we unleashed the goats, we thought it’d be great to sprinkle a little knowledge about our furry guests. We discussed what goats are used for, the different uses for their milk, and all of the different ways goats are helpful. 

Then came the highlight of the day – goat yoga! Witnessing these young yogis attempt poses with goats frolicking around them was pretty amazing! The giggles were infectious, and each Girl Scout was on the edge of their...toes? waiting for their turn to have the goat stand on them while they did their little yoga poses. It's moments like these that make me grateful for what we do here at WNY Party Goats.

A little about the history of goat yoga: The first Goat Yogi was Lainey Morse, who pioneered the concept in 2016 on her farm in Oregon. Since then, it has grown into a global phenomenon, captivating yoga enthusiasts and animal lovers alike. People are drawn to goat yoga not only for its therapeutic benefits but also for the unique opportunity to connect with nature and animals in a meaningful way.

After the yoga session, it was game time! We organized a series of goat-inspired games, from goat races to playing tag with our energetic baby goats. The joy on the faces of these girls was priceless, and seeing them interact with our goats in such a playful way warmed my heart.

To top it all off, we had a special celebration – Ruby’s 6th birthday! Happy Birthday, Ruby! Gathering around a homemade cake, we sang Happy Birthday to her as she cuddled Ferdie. 

So, why do people keep coming back for more goat yoga? Well, besides the undeniable cuteness factor, it’s the unique blend of outdoor activity, animal interaction, and pure fun that keeps them hooked. Plus, the therapeutic benefits of spending time with animals are simply unbeatable.

 

Did you know that studies have shown spending time with animals, such as goats, can significantly reduce stress levels and improve overall well-being? According to research conducted by the National Institutes of Health, interactions with animals have been linked to lower blood pressure, reduced anxiety, and increased feelings of happiness and relaxation. So, it's not just fun and games – there's science behind the therapeutic benefits of spending time with our furry friends!

As we bid farewell to our Daisy Girl Scout friends, their hearts full of laughter and memories, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. Here at WNY Party Goats, we’re not just in the business of throwing parties – we’re in the business of creating unforgettable experiences and spreading joy, one goat yoga session at a time. Cheers to more moments like these! 🐐✨
