What is Goat Yoga?
Goat yoga has surged in popularity over recent years, and as Sinks describes, it involves practicing yoga with goats freely roaming around, often climbing on participants.

Despite her limited yoga experience, Sinks quickly learned that this class was about enjoyment rather than perfection. The session began with friendly goats roaming around, munching on grass and leaves.
A Comedic Experience
As the yoga session progressed, Sinks found herself in a tabletop pose when a goat hopped onto her back, leading to uncontrollable laughter. The goat’s playful antics, including chewing on her hair, contributed to a joyful atmosphere that made it impossible to take the session too seriously.
Finding Joy in the Absurd
Sinks reflects on the importance of embracing moments of joy and silliness, especially in today’s serious world. She expresses gratitude for the chance to bond with her mother and the goats, highlighting how goat yoga encourages a playful mindset.
Conclusion
Ultimately, Sinks’ experience at goat yoga serves as a reminder to seek out and cherish moments of joy. She encourages readers to find humor and lightness in their own lives, leaving them with a thought-provoking question: “Where are you finding your joy these days?”
