Goat Yoga in the Smoky Mountains: The Most Joyful Way to Practice

Reconnect with nature, laugh a little louder, and let a baby goat climb on your back while you breathe it all in.

Goat Yoga in East Tennessee

At Mountain Zen Yoga, we believe wellness doesn’t have to be so serious. Especially when there are goats involved.

Nestled at the peaceful private farm of Pygmy Harbor in Knoxville, Tennessee, our goat yoga classes are unlike anything you’ve tried before. Equal parts grounding and hilarious, these sessions combine beginner-friendly yoga with the curious, cuddly company of pygmy goats—making it an unforgettable experience for birthdays, bachelorette parties, group outings, and spontaneous “why not?” adventures.

🐐 Meet the Pygmy Harbor Crew

The goats at Pygmy Harbor aren’t just cute—they’re part of the family. These pygmy goats are known for their small size, big personalities, and gentle nature. They’re naturally social, endlessly entertaining, and oddly excellent at photobombing your best downward dog.

You’ll practice surrounded by fresh air, rolling pasture, and a tribe of four-legged comedians who might nibble your mat, nuzzle into your shavasana, or hop onto your back mid-pose. (Yes—it’s as funny as it sounds.)

🌿 What to Expect

Each goat yoga class is hosted by a certified instructor from Mountain Zen Yoga and held outdoors at Pygmy Harbor, a private farm location that offers the perfect mix of serenity and silliness. Our classes are designed for all levels and all occasions:

  • 🧘‍♀️ Mindful breathwork to start

  • 🐐 A playful, all-levels flow with goat cameos

  • 📸 Time for goat selfies and group shots

  • 💚 Space to reconnect with yourself and your people

It’s a grounding, joyful way to pause from the hustle, tune into your body, and let nature (and a goat or two) bring you fully into the moment.

🌄 Why the Smokies?

There’s a reason people say the Smoky Mountains are medicine. As one of the oldest mountain ranges on Earth, the Smokies offer a timeless backdrop for transformation. Here, in the cradle of ancient ridgelines and whispering trees, something magical happens: we remember what it feels like to breathe deeply, to feel light again, and to laugh without effort.

Goat yoga in this setting isn’t just novelty—it’s nourishment.
