Tucked beneath the sacred spires of the Kalalea Mountain Range—known locally as the “sleeping giant”—808 Goat Yoga calls the soulful village of Anahola, Kaua‘i home. This is not your average yoga class. Here, in a place where the pace of life slows and aloha runs deep, yoga practitioners of all ages come to stretch, smile, and bleat with joy alongside a herd of playful miniature goats. Anahola, nestled on the northeast shore of Kaua‘i, holds a rich history as one of the island’s ancient ahupuaʻa (land divisions), with deep roots in Hawaiian culture and spirituality. The land here is fertile, the air is sweet, and the mana (spiritual energy) is undeniable. It’s the perfect setting for a practice rooted in presence, laughter, and connection. Our family-friendly sessions are led by host Kaala Clarke, whose heart-centered approach invites guests to deepen their relationship with the ʻāina (land), the animals, and themselves. Kaala’s vision is simple yet powerful: create space for joy. Her belief that “every moment is precious” breathes life into each class, turning every goat nuzzle and spontaneous giggle into a moment of island magic.

Why Goats?

Because goats don’t care if you can hold a perfect downward dog—they care if you're present. Miniature goats, particularly Nigerian Dwarf and Pygmy breeds, are ideal yoga companions: gentle, curious, affectionate, and hilariously unpredictable. They bring grounding energy and a dose of spontaneity that helps break down barriers, reduce stress, and keep everyone—from seasoned yogis to wide-eyed keiki—completely in the moment. Research has even shown that animal-assisted activities reduce cortisol and increase serotonin, making goat yoga both fun and therapeutic.

Meet the Herd

At 808 Goat Yoga, our goats aren’t just props—they’re ʻohana. Each member of the herd has a name, a personality, and a fan club. From the sassy Dolly to the serene Pearl, the mischievous Simon, and cuddle-loving Sweetie, each goat plays an essential role in creating a uniquely interactive yoga experience. You might meet:

• Sweetie – The name says it all.
• Simon – Our dapper little guy with a big personality.
• Lovie, Kalakoa, Bella, Opihi, Sister, Pearl, Daize Dukes – Each with her own flair, from gentle nuzzlers to spontaneous climbers.
• Mila – A petite pygmy who’s small but mighty.

Our herd lives in harmony on a small, peaceful farm where they’re lovingly cared for and free to roam when not charming guests during class. Whether you’re visiting from across the sea or down the road, a session at 808 Goat Yoga is more than a photo op—it’s an opportunity to laugh, connect, and experience the natural beauty of Kaua‘i in a truly unexpected way. Come for the yoga, stay for the goats. Leave with a lighter heart.
