We are so excited to announce a
Baby Goat Yoga “Phundraiser” Coming up
Saturday, June 29th
At Sitter Downs Arena!
Help raise money for The Phan Pharm, a goat rescue in Edgerton, KS!
Rescuing goats in need is a passion for The Phan Pharm Rescue; however, they could really use some support from their Phriends of the Pharm. So, they are thrilled to announce their first ever Goat Yoga Phundraiser! Yay!
Please come out and join the phun! Just dress casual as this will be in a sand arena, so bring your yoga mat, a towel and be prepared to have the time of your life!
Lea Watkins has graciously volunteered to teach both of our yoga classes. Lea has been practicing yoga since 2008, teaching since 2013, and has over 400 hours of Certified Yoga Teacher Training. You do not want to miss her class!
Light snacks available for purchase. Water and coffee provided.
Classes are closed to public viewing, but there will be a meet and greet with the baby goats from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm. Free admission with purchase of yoga class or $5 per person / $3 for ages 3 and under.
* This is for our 2nd class, which begins promptly at 10:00 a.m. *
