At Pactamere Farm in Glen Allen, Goat Yoga RVA stages a brisk weekend ritual: a guided, goat-assisted yoga session attended by a herd of 22 Nigerian dwarf goats, followed immediately by a made-from-scratch farm-to-table brunch featuring Belgian Liège waffles and two complementary mimosas.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Close Quarters with 22 Nigerian Dwarf Goat Yogis
The class features 22 Nigerian dwarf goats that interact with participants during the guided sequence, then offer a dedicated 15-minute window for photos and cuddles after the session.
A Genuine Farm-to-Table Brunch
After class, the farm serves a scratch-made brunch—Brioche-style Belgian Liège waffles, farm-to-table pork sausage, seasonal fruit, coffee or tea—and two complementary mimosas provided as part of the experience.
Weather-Ready Farm Mornings
Sessions run rain or shine, and in colder months the yoga moves indoors to a heated barn, so mornings remain comfortable across seasons.
