A group of area residents spent their weekend hiking in Morgan Hill before stretching and calming their nerves in an afternoon of yoga—all in the company of goats. The Goat Yoga Holiday Mini-Retreat, organized by Original Goat Yoga, was held Dec. 28 at the ranch of Roman Petras and Lucy Jay. Lainey Morse founded Original Goat Yoga in 2016, and classes are now held throughout the country. Going through a rough patch, Morse said she would spend a lot of time outdoors with her goats, and eventually she began inviting her friends to join her. A friend and yoga instructor encouraged Morse to allow her to host a yoga class, and the Original Goat Yoga was born.
