Are you looking for a surefire way to relax? If so, we have one word for you: goats. No, that isn’t a typo; in fact, goats – when interacted with via hiking – can offer therapeutic benefits and an overall unforgettable experience and can be found via the knowledgable folks at Rocky Mountain Goat Yoga in Colorado:
Based out of Arvada, Rocky Mountain Goat Yoga is a popular concept that offers yoga sessions with goats and Goat Walkabouts.
As the name suggests, Goat Walkabouts involve walking with goats, but there is so much more to it than meets the eye, as the program initially began as a way to keep the goats busy and help those with PTSD.
Rocky Mountain Goat Yoga's mission is to provide goat walks and hikes as a form of "animal-assisted activities and therapy to "those who struggle with PTSD, Post War Veterans, those who have intellectual disabilities, those who are in recovery, and many others," while also allowing goats to roam and explore their natural ecosystem.
Whether you take a Goat Walkabout for therapeutic reasons or as a way to get out and reconnect with nature, you are guaranteed a Colorado hike that you will never forget.
