“Goat Yoga” Brings Dollars To Small Farm
✖ |
After several years of runnning a yoga studio in town, Stephanie Wubbena of Fordland, Mo., closed the doors of her studio and reopened on the farm. Combining her yoga teaching certification with her love of farm animals, Stephanie and her husband, Eric, opened Goats and Yoga in 2017.
For $20 per person on Saturdays from April through November, weather permitting, students receive an hour of gentle, informal yoga instruction and lots of interaction with Stephanie’s herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats.
The 7 Springs Farm goat herd are all registered with the American Goat Society, and Stephanie plans her breeding to have kids year round for her yoga classes and additional agritourism opportunities.
The goats are also milked – a few weeks after kidding Stephanie will separate the kids from the does at night and milk in the morning before turning everyone back out together.
On top of goat yoga classes, Stephanie also offers farm tours for $20 per person, bunny meditation for $15 per person, where guests are led through a guided meditation and breathing exercises while snuggling with either an American Blue or Mini Lop rabbit, and Goat Grams for $75, where Stephanie will bring two goat kids, a card and flowers to an individual’s chosen recipient. The 7 Springs Farm goats are very healthy, well-socialized, and love attention. They have their hooves trimmed several times a month during yoga season, and are on a rountine copper bolus program. Stephanie deworms as needed and monitors her herd closely.
