A marvelous experience! My girls and I thoroughly enjoyed both the yoga and the free form activity with the goats afterward. It was a great way to relax and have fun. Reverse the Kerrs Farm was fantastic; everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. There were a few funny Schitt's Creek references, as well...

We went snow shoeing on Feb 13. It was really cold and not too much snow but Danielle and Gabrielle were amazing hosts! They explained how to put on the snow shoes, gave us all food for the goats, lead us around the property and took pictures for us. Danielle explained about the goat breeds, how she came to have her farm and start her business, and all about the goat's personalities. We even got to pet and feed the neighbor horses and donkeys. At the end we had a nice fire pit and tea, coffee and donuts, and then got to meet the amazing 175 lb. Spanish Mastiff Leo who guards the goats. An amazing experience not too far from home. Will definitely go back for goat yoga when it is warm out!

I took this class yesterday not knowing how committed this organization is to mental health! Being a mental health provider, it makes me so Incredibly happy to know that such a place exists. Animal therapy is so beneficial and I can’t say enough how professional the staff was and what an amazing experience this was for my own mental health! Definitely recommending to others!

I wish I could share a picture of the fun our team of psychiatric chaplains had at Goat Yoga Chicago. Each part of the experience was easy to connect with, the yoga practice was authentic and the GYC team members professional and helpful. Our team decided that we should make a GYC experience a regular part of our team community building and support practices. Much gratitude to the entire GYC organization for helping us serve our patients better by caring for ourselves and strengthening our team. 🙏❤️🐐❤️🙏

I went to goat yoga at reverse the kerrs farm and had a delightful time. The goats were so much fun. They hilariously interrupted our yoga practice and I enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend if you haven’t yet tried it.
