How Often Should You Do Goat Yoga in a Month?
(Spoiler: More Than Never, Less Than Every Day)
So, you finally did it. You signed up for goat yoga thinking it would be quirky and cute—and left wondering if the goat who climbed on your back also climbed into your heart.
Between the gentle stretches, fresh air, and uncontrollable laughter, you felt something shift. A real mind-body-soul kind of shift... wrapped in fur and bleats.
Now you're asking the golden question:
“How often should I do goat yoga in a month?”
And no, you're not being dramatic. When something actually makes you feel alive, present, and peaceful all at once—you should be asking how to make more room for it.
Let’s break it down, heart-first.
Start With Your Why (It’s Deeper Than the Selfie)
Before we talk schedules and frequency, pause for a second. Ask yourself:
What are you hoping to get from goat yoga?
Is it a joy practice?
A nervous system reset?
A way to shake the rust off your old yoga routine?
Or maybe you’re just here to reclaim a little softness in a world that keeps handing out hard edges.
However you got here, the why behind your practice matters. Because goat yoga isn’t just a calendar filler—it’s a mood lifter, a body whisperer, and a sneak-attack therapist in hooves. So the question of “how often” has everything to do with how you want to feel.
Once a Month: The Joy Reset Button
For a lot of yogis, once a month hits the sweet spot. It’s like your spiritual oil change.
You get:
A solid hour of laughter therapy
A legit physical stretch that doesn’t feel like punishment
And most importantly, permission to be silly without losing the soul of your practice
This monthly rhythm works beautifully if you already have a regular yoga schedule but want to infuse a little more play and spontaneity into it. Or if you're the type of person who likes looking at your calendar and thinking, "Oooh, that’s my goat yoga weekend."
It becomes a ritual.
Something to look forward to.
A playful exhale in a month full of meetings and meal prep.
Twice a Month: The Balanced Flow
Feeling like you need more than one hit of hooved healing? Try twice a month.
This is the rhythm for yogis who are learning that mindfulness doesn’t always come from stillness—it sometimes shows up when a goat chews your shoelaces mid-savasana and you just… laugh.
This twice-monthly flow:
Keeps things light without losing the magic
Gives your nervous system a consistent check-in
Helps you integrate joy into your life, not just visit it occasionally
And honestly, it's perfect for yogis who tend to take life—and yoga—a little too seriously. Goat yoga twice a month is the perfect spiritual curveball to keep your ego humble and your heart open.
Weekly Goat Yoga? Yep, That’s a Thing
Look, some of us are extra, and we mean that in the best way.
If you left your first goat yoga class already checking the farm’s schedule for next week, you might just be a weekly goat yogi in the making.
Is that too much? Not at all—as long as it still feels good.
Weekly goat yoga is ideal if:
You want to blend mental health, movement, and laughter therapy in one session
You love being outdoors and moving your body in non-traditional ways
You find the goats offer something no studio can—unpredictable, hilarious presence
That said, check in with yourself often. If it starts to feel like a to-do list item instead of a joy ritual, it might be time to slow down. Too much of a good thing is still too much.
But if the goats still light you up, your body’s on board, and your soul is clapping—keep showing up.
Go Slow If You're Just Starting Out
If you’re just re-entering your body, your practice, or the idea of joy itself, start slow.
One class a month might be just right.
Let yourself ease in. Let the goats earn your trust. Let your nervous system remember what it feels like to play.
There’s no rush. Goat yoga isn’t a trend to chase—it’s a softness to return to.
And if you ever feel like adding another class? You’ll know. Your breath will tell you. So will your smile.
Let the Goats Teach You How to Pace Yourself
No really. Watch them.
They nap when they’re tired.
They play when they’re curious.
They butt heads and then get over it 30 seconds later.
They know when to leap, when to chill, and when to snack (usually always).
Goat yoga frequency isn’t about perfection—it’s about pattern recognition.
When you start noticing that you leave class feeling more like yourself every time, you’re onto something.
So whether it’s once a month, twice, or more—it’s not about how many times.
It’s about how aligned it feels with your life, your energy, and your inner voice.
A Note for the Overachievers (You Know Who You Are)
If you’re already planning to stack goat yoga on top of your vinyasa schedule, breathwork app, journaling habit, and green smoothie prep… pause.
Just because something is good for you doesn’t mean it needs to be constant.
Goat yoga works because it’s unexpected. It shakes up your nervous system in the gentlest, goofiest way. That power comes from contrast.
Let it stay fresh. Let it stay sacred.
So… How Often Should You Do Goat Yoga in a Month?
Here's the honest answer:
As often as it feels like joy, and not obligation.
Once a month if you want a little reset.
Twice if you want consistent joy woven into your flow.
Weekly if you're full-send embracing the goat life and it’s still lighting you up.
Let your body tell you. Let your breath tell you. Let the goats tell you (trust me, they will).
And above all, let joy—not pressure—lead the way.
Final Thoughts (From a Goat-Loving Yogi to You)
Goat yoga isn’t just a trend. It’s a reminder.
That healing can be hilarious.
That movement can be messy.
That mindfulness doesn’t always look like silence—sometimes it looks like a goat napping on your mat while you breathe deeper than you have all week.
So show up once. Or twice. Or whenever life starts feeling too heavy.
There’s a goat and a mat and a moment waiting for you.
And you, my friend? You’re right on time.
Namaste, goat giggles, and just the right amount of mischief,
