No more goat yoga in Ind.
due to zoning violation NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (WISHTV) — Happy Goat Luck Acres was the only full- time goat yoga operation in Indiana, and the owners said they were doing well until the Hamilton County North Board of Zon- ing Appeals told them to shut down. Jordan Stevens and her partner started raising goats at their Hamilton County farm a few years ago. When goat yoga gained a following they provided goats to yoga classes. A combination of transportation issues and the COVID-19 restrictions forced Stevens and her partner to stay closer to home so they offered goat yoga at their farm.
The classes were in a small, fenced field on the weekends and occasionally on weekdays. On average, Stevens says, about 20 people signed up to do yoga with a dozen or so goats. She says the classes were going well until they received a notice in August from the zoning board to stop offer- ing the classes at the farm.
“The issue is that it is a business that
isn’t in their allowed business for an agricul- tural area,” Stevens said. n
