What a way to spend the Winter Solstice. My friends Linda, Ellen, and I just experienced a most magical afternoon of Goat Yoga at Hilltop Views Farm in Williamston, Michigan. Owners Shawn and Nick Cannarile have owned their 100-year-old farm for the last several years, and have held Goat Yoga classes there since 2016.


This afternoon was the last event of 2019, a special holiday class with wine and goat bonding time in the beautiful barn at Hilltop, complete with a Christmas tree that proved to be very tempting for the hungry goats.

Goats are such delightful and sweet little animals, so getting a chance to hang out with them up close while also taking a yoga class felt like the perfect antidote to pre-holiday stress. Although, it’s fair to say that there was more squeeing about the goats than Shavasana.
