Yoga With Alpacas

Join us at Alpaca Meadows for a one-hour session of relaxing yoga, held in a pasture among our beautiful alpacas, with yoga instructor Kay Smith. Even if you’ve never done yoga, this is your chance to come try it out in a fun setting. It’s said that the calming presence of alpacas reduces your stress level…combine that with yoga in the outdoors in nature, and it’s a win-win!
Alpacas are curious, but shy. It’s a guarantee they’ll not invade your personal space, though they may wander close to see what’s going on.
BRING
Bring your mat and water.
FARM STORE
Our Farm Store will be open so be sure to allow time to look around see what all can be made from the luxurious fiber of alpacas!​​
