Yoga With Goats Craze Takes Off in US
Channel News Asia ^ | 15 Jun 2017

Adonna Ebrahimi is stretched out on her yoga mat, struggling to maintain a cobra pose - and her composure - as a couple of baby goats do a balancing act on her back.

Welcome to "Goat Yoga", the latest fitness craze sweeping the United States, where young and old are lining up for the popular classes that leave participants not only saying "namaste" but also in stitches.

The new workouts taking place on farms across the country involve Nigerian Dwarf goats - miniature goats of West African origin - roaming about as yogis practice their exercise routines.

"At first, it was a bit scary because I didn't know the goats were going to jump on my back," Ebrahimi, 53, said on a recent afternoon after completing her first "Goat Yoga" class outside Los Angeles.

It’s been my experience that GOATS STINK. If you touch them, you stink, too. Add to that, they defecate continuously, uncontrollably. I’ve been crapped on by a goat, & peed on by one, too. I’ll pass on having them climb all over me.

Yoga with meditation is all about summoning a spirit guide to take over. So really, demon possession. I guess this new step with goats is the bestiality aspect?

So basically not too far off this?

And remember the Yellow Snow rule. Don’t eat anything in the vicinity that looks like raisins.

When I have to explain the American take on Karma to Indian coworkers, it really hits me how shallow and vapid and lame my culture has become.

American Karma has very little to do with the true definition of karma.

In America, if you were an ass to somebody while driving, and later in the day you find your car scratched, that’s karma.

Oooh look, we’re so deep.

We had goats at one time. Goats stink. What goes in immediately doubles and comes out the other end. That place must smell awful. Hope those idiots don’t go to work after.

From the very people that practice it.... I recognize this isn’t common knowledge, but it should be considering how many Americans take part in it.

If you want to know, then check out kundalini - or more so a “kundalini awakening” and “kundalini crisis”. The side effects of the latter are... interestingly similar to other occult accounts.

From the looks of her unwashed hair...

I don't think that it's "unwashed"; it looks like she has dreadlocks.

You might be right about the smell, though.
