Goat Yoga at June Farms promotes fitness & mental wellness

West Sand Lake, NY (WRGB) — October 10 is World Mental Health Day, and one fitness educator is taking the opportunity to promote personal fitness and mental health at the same time.

For Karli Famelette, it’s also a personal mission; she’s an eating disorder survivor who’s become an outspoken advocate for eating disorder awareness within mental health and wellness conversations.

Goat yoga starts at 10 a.m. Saturday. June Farms will also be open for walks, and its pony barn will be open.

Karli is the creator of BarreFlow, an exercise practice that combines aspects of yoga, Pilates, barre fitness and strength training.

Karli says don’t bring a good yoga mat—the goats like to chew on them!
