City employees try goat yoga on Great Lawn; participants say it eased stress
Summary
City employees attended a goat yoga class on the Great Lawn. Participants described it as a light, stress-relief activity despite goats chewing shoes and wandering on mats, Cheryl Conn reported for WPB TV.
City employees participated in a goat yoga class on the Great Lawn; participants told a local reporter the session provided a light, stress-relief break even as baby goats chewed shoes and wandered over mats, Cheryl Conn reported for WPB TV.
The class was described as deliberately informal: instructors emphasized a relaxing, stress-free experience rather than precise yoga postures. Participants said the baby goats drew attention by climbing lightly on people’s backs by request, nibbling shoes, bags and hair, and otherwise moving among mats and attendees.
"It distracted me a little bit, but I really enjoyed it," one participant said. Another participant added, "I laughed a lot. I smiled, and that's what it's about. Right?" Attendees noted small souvenirs from the session, such as goat fur on clothing and chewed shoelaces.
Cheryl Conn, reporting for WPB TV, said city employees were among those who tried the class on the Great Lawn. Organizers, costs, and any permitting or animal-welfare arrangements for the event were not specified in the transcript.
The session was presented as a recreational activity and lunchtime break; the transcript did not record any formal city action, staffing directives, scheduling changes, or follow-up steps related to the event.
