Alpaca Yoga
The intention of these sessions is to combine the calming and uplifting effects of yoga with the soothing and peaceful (and often funny) effects of being amongst the alpacas with the added bonus of the benefits of being out in nature.
​
An opportunity to take our practice outside and soak up some of that famous camelid calm.
​​
Alpacas are gentle, calm and curious creatures making them a soothing accompaniment to a yoga practice.
​
The idea of these sessions is to co-create a state of calm with the alpacas. Their peaceful grazing and quiet presence can support us to become more relaxed and present, in turn allowing the alpacas to feel more at ease with us.
​
There’s nothing complicated or inaccessible about these sessions. They are suitable for total beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.​​​​​​
​
What To Expect:
We will gather outside of the paddock for an introduction to the alpacas and health and safety briefing.
​
We then take a simple yoga practice together amongst the alpacas before closing out with a short meditation or savasana if you prefer (an opportunity to sit or lie in stillness for a few moments).
​
Alpacas are incredibly curios creatures and our calm presence in the paddock often prompts a gentle enquiry from them. They may come over for a closer inspection and (if you’re lucky!) you might even get a little sniff or the initiation of a nose to nose greeting.
​
We’ll close out the session by heading back down to The Hideout to wash our hands.
​
​We often have cria (babies) on the farm and you'll likely get to see them during your visit.
Session run by:
