Experience the joys of goats and yoga from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday at the west lawn behind the Maverick Activities Center.
The Residential Outreach Counseling Program, student housing and Campus Recreation will host the fourth goat yoga event at UTA. The activity will have 90 residential student participants spread out between three 30-minute sessions of yoga, with the final 30 minutes dedicated to mingling with the goats.
“We have a goat handler who makes sure that each person gets to experience the goats jumping on their back or being around them as they partake in this activity,” said Sineyda Ortiz, assistant director of fitness at Campus Recreation.
Registration has closed; however, students have a 15-minute window to show up to the event before their spot will be given away to the next person in line. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own mats or towels, but towels will be provided.
“I would say the number one thing is for people to relax and to have a good time,” Ortiz said.
