Want to take your yoga practice up a notch? Try something new (and unexpected) with these fun experiences. ARIZONA GOAT YOGA, GILBERT Before goat yoga was a thing, there were two friends, April Gould and Sarah Williams. Gould had goats; Williams had a comedic streak and a strong yoga practice. When they merged their talents, Arizona Goat Yoga was born. Visitors arrive at the farm where they meditate or practice yoga while specially trained Nigerian Dwarf goats (outfitted in themed costumes no less) trot under, over and around them. Conventional? No. Joyful? Absolutely. ARIZONA HIKING YOGA, STATEWIDE Yoga may be founded on a practice of looking inward, but that’s not to say the setting doesn’t matter. In fact, sometimes it can help to get you out of your comfort zone. Enter Arizona Hiking Yoga, which takes hikeryogis on sometimes well-known, sometimes hidden trails all over Arizona. Choose between easy and moderate hikes. DESERT LOTUS PADDLE-BOARDS ON LAKE PLEASANT, MORRISTOWN Holding a three-legged dog pose might be challenging in a studio. But on a stand-up paddleboard in Lake Pleasant? Apparently, the threat of a quick plunge doesn’t deter participants at Desert Lotus, where SUP Yoga and PaddleFit classes encourage balance and strength in equal measure. ELEVATE YOGA & FITNESS, PHOENIX True to its name, Elevate takes yoga to new heights. Aerial Yoga relies on silken hammocks to get yogis and yoginis off the floor, while the Silks classes invite participants to climb lengths of silken fabric attached to the ceiling. Either way, the experience is uplifting. BLISSTOPIA, PEORIA If your yoga practice could benefit from a little extra TLC, a retreat at this expansive residential setting may be just the thing. Each experience is designed to deepen your yoga practice while enhancing overall wellness through meditation, nutrition, digital detox and a host of outdoor activities.
