About the class: Join Laura Youngblut, Registered Yoga Teacher, for a 90-minute session.   This time is for you to experience an awareness within, within the physical and mental body.   The practice begins with a slow flow yoga to guide you to feel how your body moves.  The practice will slow down to allow space for introspection.   A sound bath of singing bowls will start your savasana, while chimes will bring you back.  The practice ends when you are ready.  Slowly bring your awareness back to the present moment by allowing time for journaling of your experience. 

Laura’s Bio:  Laura Youngblut is a licensed massage therapist, registered yoga teacher, and registered nurse.  Laura utilizes her training and experience to keenly observe and adjust to the needs of clients and students.   With training in trauma-aware bodywork and yoga, Laura provides and encourages autonomy by offering options and choices.   She has found that the most beneficial practices are simple and grounded.  The goal with each session or class is to provide an opportunity for the physical body to be present so self-reflection and introspection can be freely within.

We listened to the participants from last year and have made improvements to the event!

The idea is simple. We combine playful baby goats and relaxing yoga practice. The baby goats are gentle but very curious. The goats will jump on your back, nibble on your clothing and cuddle up beside you.

The cost is $15 and it includes a single day pass.  There are two classes that will cap out at 20 people, so sign up today to secure your spot!  The 12pm class will follow the FFA show.

Yoga instruction will be provided by Laura Youngblut.

The goats will be cute little nubian goat kids! The event will be near the grandstands in the old dining hall.
