If you haven't at least tried to take a goat yoga class yet, you're missing out in a big way. The farm animal phenomenon has taken off in every corner of the country, from small farms in New Hampshire to the stunning mountains of Oregon. Inspired by the success of goats on the yoga mat, an SPCA in York Country, Pennsylvania, has started hosting regular kitten yoga sessions in hopes that by the time you're done flowing next to your furry friends, you might be inspired to adopt one of them.

But you don't have to live near a goat farm or a kitten yoga-hosting SPCA to get the benefits of doing yoga with animals. These adorable pictures prove that all you have to do is roll out your yoga mat, plop down your pet, and start moving.

Tiger pose is one of my favorite shoulder openers and spinal warm ups. A few cat-cows followed by tiger will set you up for a great heart-opening practice. What are some of your favorite poses? • • • #horseyogagirl #horseyoga #neighmaste #equestrianyoga #yogahorse #horsesofinstagram #appaloosa #SillySnowy #yoga #yogagirl #yogaeverydamnday #yogaeverywhere #equestrian #equestrianlife #yogainspiration #igyogafamily #yogisofinstagram #acroyoga #naturalhorsemanship #partneryoga #pferd #caballo #instayoga #cheval #tigerpose #heartopener

We had a hoppy Saturday morning flowing with our new furry friends in our first ever bunny yoga class. This unconventional practice was a fun way to connect and bond with with these adoptable bunnies in hopes of finding them a new home. Thanks to @alamocityhouserabbits for hosting this event with us and the work you do to educate and advocate about bunnies as pets. 📷 Snapshots of the event provided by @rivardreport who also covered the class on their site. Check the link in our bio to read all about it and more insight into our unconventional ways.✌🏻💚🐰🤸‍♀️
