Hello Critter Yoga

Forest bathing, or shinrin yoku, is the practice of relating with nature via specific invitations that engage your senses directly with natural elements and experiences. This practice helps to deepen one's embodiment and strengthen and build tools one can use to better cope with stress, realign priorities and engage with one's body, mind and purpose. <IMG SRC="https://cdn.evbuc.com/eventlogos/226347802/screenshot20190511at12.19.26am.png">
The experience begins with a guided meditation where we still ourselves and find our place in nature. Then we embark on a series of invitations where one engages with various elements present on that day.

Friendly goats will journey through the invitations with us, modeling for us ways in which we can more directly enter into communications with and sharpen our senses in relationship to the natural world.

At the end of the practice, we gather for a sampling of handcrafted foraged foods accompanied by a tea infusion created from the plants around us. Our caprine friends will join us for a very special tea ceremony, supping from the treasures we bring back with us from our walk.

Michelle Tritten owns and operates Hello Critter. She has cared for pet goats since the 1980's and practiced yoga since the 1990's. Her dream of working closely with her animals came true after she began facilitating Goat Yoga Experiences on Earthday of 2017. One of her greatest passions is sharing her animals with others. Michelle has found that goats have a profound way of elevating experiences and bringing out the best in people. They connect us to the present moment and to each other. They help us find the joy in life.
