Fun with Fainting Goats

Yes, I have a pair of fainting goats.  If you are unfamiliar with these creatures, here is a brief video that is both educational and hilarious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we9_CdNPuJg One of my yoga students asked me yesterday, "What kind of person randomly decides... Continue Reading →
