    I’ve been to two goat yoga classes this month!!! As a beginner to yoga I was concerned that I may not be able to keep up, but the instructor did a great job to make sure students of all levels felt comfortable and had fun. The goats were an amazing addition. They are hilarious and have a unique way of making “city folk” escape their busy lives and relax in a country atmosphere. The mat rentals are only $3/person which includes unlimited swap outs (incase there’s a little goat accident) and a part of the proceeds go towards helping out the rescue. What a great cause!?! All in all, it’s a blast and a great way to spend an afternoon or evening.

    Awesome yet relaxing at the same time! The experience starts with introductions and acclimatizing with the goats. They are super gentle. From there, you are taken through a series of yoga breathing, stretching and relaxation exercises. Throughout, the goats will snuggle with you and feed off your energy. Very therapeutic and will keep you in the moment. Yes...the goats will climb on your back if you want them to. This makes for the best photos. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend!

    My husband and i did the class today for the first time- LOVED IT! If youre looking for a "serious" yoga class, this isn't the place for you- the goats are a (lovable, super fun) distraction, and i spent more time cuddling than doing yoga, which was fine with me because GOATS! 😍 The instructor was great- if i HAD been paying attention to her and less to the goats, i probably would have gotten a nice little yoga session in lol The setup is amazing- there was LOTS of space, the volunteers were amazing, and the winery was incredible (reviewing them next actually!!) Im so happy i got to spend time with these little rescue goats! They're beautiful creatures, and they ABSOLUTELY MADE MY DAY! 100/10 would recommend, already planning my next session ❤

    I have been a member at Fox Den studio for 2 years now and I love it. Melina is very caring and has so many wonderful yoga teachers. There are many different types of yoga and even some Pilates classes...something for everyone!

    I attended my first goat yoga class on the weekend. It was held at Triple C Farm and it was a wonderful experience! I enjoyed seeing the animals in their own environment, as well as the care with which they are treated. The comfort and safety of the animals seemed to be a top priority. Everyone involved was awesome and I can't wait to go to another session!

    Cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Fox Den! Goat Yoga is charming and supports a great cause, and Melina is a talented and knowledgeable instructor that I can comfortably highly recommend to anyone of any skill level.

    LOVED goat yoga with Melina! She was so accommodating and adjusted the experience to meet the needs of each person in our group. Great for beginners and more experienced participants. The goats were adorable and a lot of fun! I highly recommend this experience!

    We had an amazing experience this weekend. The goats are obviously well taken care of, and enjoy the attention they receive during the class. The class itself is great for beginners (and those who are easily distracted and wanting to cuddle the goats!) You get a chance to take photos after the class. Would highly recommend and we will be back.

    I can't say enough good things about my experience at Fox Den Goat Yoga at Small Talk Vineyards! Never having heard of goat yoga before, a couple of friends and I thought we would give it a go—we were warmly greeted by Melina and introduced to her many adorable goats. The yoga itself was an absolute blast, although it was tough not to get distracted by our new friends! Melina was so kind and patient, adhering to our numerous photo requests And cider to top it all off—you can't go wrong! We look forward to visiting her again. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

    A fun and relaxing time - the goats are super friendly, and the yoga is a healthy way to spend time in Niagara-on-the-lake. If you've done wine country and you are looking for new experiences there, this is the one!

    Wonderful and refreshing experience with the goats. Nothing like a warm sunny afternoon with a goat snuggling up your shirt and nibbling on your ear!

    I went as part of a bachelorette party and it was amazing! The goats are so friendly and adorable and the instructor gives you so much time to interact with them. It was a very relaxing environment and I can't wait to go back! Also don't worry if you have never done yoga I never had and didn't feel out of place at all. Give it a try you will have an great time!

    Excellent goat yoga experience! Well organized, well trained and loved goats, responsibly operated. The instructor was very patient and accommodating to our large group and really focuses on the visitor experience as well as thoughtful education about animal care and goat facts. Would go again.

    I am a goat yogi for life! I had such a great time there and would recommend it to anyone. The instructor was funny and so personable. It was such a wonderful experience that was exactly what I needed - relaxing, fun and so snuggly! The goats are so well behaved and were so adorable. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I’m definitely coming back when I am in the area!!

    This was an amazing experience! Our instructor made sure we had ample time to interact with the goats during and after the session! The yoga was also very easy for beginners like myself.

    FOXDEN Goat YOGA in Niagara on the Lake was an amazing experience. Melina is so chill and knowledgeable. Our group, from Valhalla Project Niagara consisted of veterans and first responders with PTSD. Melina was sensitive to the needs of our group and provided us with an amazing interactive experience. TuPac and Biggy were adorable as the newest additions to the herd. Cant say enough great things about FOXDEN. What was supposed to be a "cool" activity turned out to be a highly educational and rewarding experience They have been an amazing partner from the start of our program.

    Looking for something unique to do in Niagara? Check out Fox Den Goat Yoga. I went with a small group of friends and it was the perfect girls day out. Even if you've never done yoga before, between the simple stretches and relaxation and simply being around the cutest, friendliest little goats, you will leave the session happy, relaxed and already planning your next session.

    This was such an amazing experience, I can't recommend it enough. It was everything we hoped it would be. The owner Melina was fantastic, her energy was felt through the outdoor studio space. Her family of goats were adorable, friendly and playful. The collaboration with Shiny Cider tasting was a nice added bonus!

    Really great experience. The goats are so friendly! 30 minutes of yoga with the goats, as they cuddle you and interact with you. then 30 minutes of playing with the goats. Staff are super friendly! Great place to go with friends. Be sure to bring extra pair of clothes, as they will get dirty!

    Absolutely wonderful experience!! The goats were adorable and loved my company almost as much as I loved theirs, it was precious. The owners are also so sweet and such a joy to talk to. 100/10 recommend this experience to everyone.

  • 5/5 Amber H. 3 years ago on Google
    Such a great yoga class and the instructor is very friendly and helpful. The goats are super cute and so much fun. It is a wonderful experience and one that you must definitely try at least once. Would recommend it, love doing it so much and would for sure do it again.

  • 5/5 Shannon P. 7 months ago on Google
    An incredible experience! Would recommend this to any animal lover! The host is so engaging and it’s so wonderful seeing how passionate she is about her animals. Each of them has their own story and it’s amazing getting to know each of their unique personalities. My friends and I had such a wonderful time. If you’re planning a trip to the zoo, don’t.. come here instead!!!! The goats are so friendly and social, the experience gives you so much time to interact with them. Educational, fun and AMAZING for your mental health!

  • 5/5 Melissa M. 3 years ago on Google
    Fox Den Yoga is amazing! Melina really does a great job with her programs and treats her animals like children. If you are in the Niagara, give Fox Den Yoga a call ... you will not regret it !

  • 5/5 Kassandra D. 10 months ago on Google
    Absolute spectacular time. If you have the opportunity, it is the best thing to do in Niagara. Host is the sweetest and the goats will melt your heart.

  • 5/5 Josh P. 1 year ago on Google
    This was an amazing experience. The staff were all welcoming and easy-going perfect for someone new to yoga! The goats were adorable and friendly and easily the highlight of our trip to Niagara!!

  • 5/5 Nicole M. 1 year ago on Google
    We were so impressed with this experience. The goats were so well socialized, eager to be near people, and the class was fun! The instructor provided so much information on each goat's story and some information on goats and their instincts. I would 100% come back again, it was even better than I could have predicted!

  • 5/5 Jennifer L. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an amazing time there! The goats were very well tempered and adorable and the wine was amazing. All around a relaxing and lovely day.

  • 5/5 Steph S. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great time for my sister's bachelorette! We had a really great experience - the goats (mostly adult goats that are rescues) are super cute and look very well-cared for, the yoga session itself is relaxed and lots of fun, we learned lots about the goats and the rescue program, the location is beautiful, and the cider tasting afterwards was delicious! All of the staff were also really lovely and accommodating of our large group (10). Really highly recommend this business!! :)

    Recently decided to attend their Halloween Goat Yoga and it was so much fun and just full of cuteness. The goats were all wearing Halloween costumes and so was our instructor Melina! Even if you don’t like yoga you have to try this out - you’ll spend more time playing with the goats than actually focusing on yoga. Melina was such a great instructor she’s got such a fun personality. Bonus - you get a free goodie bag at the end with your choice of a select cider and candy!

  • 5/5 Kaira K. 2 years ago on Google
    Foxden Goat yoga was so much fun! The goats (and staff) were so friendly and adorable, especially in their Halloween costumes. The yoga class was truly relaxing and the instructor definitely pulled on the heart strings with thoughts on being present at the end of the class. We also got a goody bag to take home with some Halloween candy and cider! Highly recommend!

    I wanted a surprise for our wedding anniversary and in the early days of COVID-19 there were few options. On a whim l thought this might be a good go. Wow l was so wrong....it was a GREAT go!!! Everyone from my father to my grandchildren LOVED the beasts. They loved Melina's passion for the animals and her ability for making it as simple and worry-free as she could. Payment was easy for an old retired guy so she gets two thumbs up. 👍👍 If you want to make friends and influence people in an hour....this is outstanding value for your money.. Thank you so much Melina!

  • 5/5 Katherine S. 4 years ago on Google
    We did a private session for 4 of us and it was amazing!! Would definitely recommend going in a smaller group! The goats are so fun and Melina was so lovely! A highlight of my trip.

  • 5/5 Michelle B. 3 years ago on Google
    5 stars does not do this place justice. If we could give them 1000 stars we would. The instructor/owner Melina was incredibly professional, engaging, knowledgeable and kept everyone safe (during this pandemic). The yoga session was beginner/modification friendly. Thought we must admit, we spent more time enjoying the goat's company than practising yoga. We attended 2 session (back-to-back) and learned something new in both sessions. Had we had the opportunity to attend more, we would have spent the entire day there! Thank you fox den yoga! We look forward to visiting you again in the future!

  • 5/5 C 3 years ago on Google
    The perfect way to spend an afternoon in Niagara. Beautiful vineyard setting, ridiculously adorable (and playful) baby goats, and a laid-back, beginner-friendly yoga class. Impossible not to spend the whole time with a smile on your face!
