1. Yoga with Alpacas in Prince Edward County
You’ve heard of yoga with goats, now get ready for yoga with alpacas! This summer, you’ll have the opportunity to Namaste with alpacas at SHED Chetwyn Farms. And don’t worry, the alpacas won’t climb on you: “They tend to watch from afar, and only get closer when in savasana.” Does it get better than that? Buy tickets for 2019 sessions here.
