What's Better Than Yoga? Goat Yoga

There's a new trend on the rise and it involves yoga and goats. Three months ago, April Gould hosted her first "goat yoga" class in Gilber, Ariz.

"I kind of thought it was going to be a fun, trendy, kind of goofy thing, but I didn't expect to have this kind of response," Gould told azcentral.

The self-proclaimed goat whisperer initially offered just one class a month, but now has a few a week.

Gould's business partner, Sarah Williams, understands the importance of the selfie. So for each class, a professional photographer comes to take photographs for the participants and the goats.
