Petting Zoo: Goat Yoga!

Nat Sound:
IF HEAVEN WERE A PLACE ON EARTH....
IT MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE LIKE JENNESS FARM IN NOTTINGHAM, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
WHERE THE WELCOMING COMMITTEE CONSISTS OF A FRIENDLY TURKEY NAMED CRICKET....
Nat Sound:
AND WHERE GOATS AND YOGIS COEXIST IN PERFECT HARMONY.
Nat Sound:
"Finding some calm."
YOGA WITH GOATS IS A NEW OFFERING AT THE FARM ....
Nat Sound:
"We'll hear that patter of little footsteps around us."
AND IT'S CERTAINLY A ONE OF A KIND EXPERIENCE.
Man:
"Done yoga a few times but it was nothing like this."
Woman:
"If you have a goat on your back you can stay right in table top."
Peter Corriveau:
"It's gone viral."
FARM OWNER PETER CORRIVEAU SAYS THEY JUST STARTED CLASSES A WEEK AGO... NOW THEY'RE BOOKED TIL JUNE.
Peter Corriveau:
"You know who doesn't love baby goat? There's nothing cuter than a baby goat. There's just something about them, their nature."
IT'S A SIMPLE IDEA REALLY ... GOATS AND PEOPLE DOING YOGA TOGETHER.
IT'S ACTUALLY HARD TO TELL WHO'S ENJOYING IT MORE...
Nat Sound:
INSTRUCTOR JANINE BIBEAU SAYS IT'S NOT JUST THE LEGS AND THE ABS GETTING A WORK OUT...
Janine Bibeau:
"I left last week and my face was sore from smiling so much."
THESE YOGIS AGREE.
Woman:
"You can't help but laugh."
Woman 2:
"You can't help it the laughing and the smiling just comes along with it."  
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO THIS PRACTICE THAN JUST THE DOWNWARD FACING GOAT...
THE BACK MASSAGES AND THE SNUGGLES... THEY'RE PRETTY DIVINE TOO.   
Man:
"I would definitely recommend it and I can't wait to come back ."
