Have Ya Herd about goat yoga? What is goat yoga? Are you crazy? Goats doing yoga? Yoga with goats? Yoga uses breath and movement to improve body awareness, flexibility, strength, and relaxation. This class is appropriate for most healthy beginners and is a great place to learn basic elements if you are new to yoga. The goats add a fun element! Bring your own yoga mat. Youth ages 13-17 may register and attend if a parent or guardian is registered and in attendance for the same class. General information: Wear comfortable, washable clothing. Put long hair up, and avoid long, dangly and sparkly jewelry. Athletic blend t-shirts are discouraged, as it makes it hard to keep a goat on your back! Cotton t-shirts/sweatshirts are best! Short sleeves work best (no tank tops). You may bring a yoga mat, water bottle, and hand towel. Personal items (purses or backpacks) can be left at home or in a locked car. Phones/cameras are encouraged, did it really happen if you didn’t get a selfie?! Have Ya Herd is not responsible for lost or stolen items. No one will be admitted into the goat yoga space without paid admission and signed waiver. Arrive a few minutes prior to the start of class to allow plenty of time to check-in and sign the waiver. Please don’t arrive earlier than that, and avoid coming in late as it disrupts the class and the calm the instructor is going to try to create for you and the goats. We cannot accept walk-ups. All participants must pre-register. Any student under 18 years of age must have a parent/guardian’s signature on the waiver (waivers are provided onsite). ** Minors may not roam the Have Ya Herd property unsupervised while the parent or guardian takes a class. The Have Ya Herd staff are not authorized to supervise children.** Wayzata Community Ed is committed to offering safe, fun, and educational classes and activities.

Discriminatory covenants, meaning agreements by lease, deed, or other legal contract, have been used to keep people of color from buying houses in certain Minnesota neighborhoods, including some of our own. The result is a century of segregated communities. Together, we can acknowledge this discrimination, discharge these covenants and build a foundation for more inclusive communities. Property deed restrictions that prevented Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, Jewish people and others from owning properties have had persistent impacts on the health and wealth of these areas. Although racial covenants have been illegal and unenforceable for decades, they remain on the titles of these properties today. The impact of these practices in Minneapolis and Hennepin County have been made apparent through the work of Mapping Prejudice and in the PBS documentary, “The Jim Crow of the North,” which is recommended viewing prior to the event. In this session, you will hear a brief summary of the history and legacy of these practices. You will learn about the Just Deeds Coalition, which helps property owners remove the racial covenants from their property deeds and educates the community about this hidden history. A second, follow-up event is being planned for June 17th to discuss how to confront racism in our cities and lead communities to equitable outcomes. Learn more about Just Deeds.
