Something new in the vast world of yoga techniques and styles. Based on various sites' information, classes can be taken in a barn or a cement brewery floor (free beer when class is over) and, locally, the South Coast Botanic Gardens. (See them for schedule.)
What concerned me about this new fad was the probability that goats hooves are sharp. I visualized post-class a lot of women with shredded tops (and backs) and quite possibly puncture wounds where the goat had frolicked. I remembered a stray bit of information regarding PSI and a 120 lb. woman in spike heels. The little dot that is the end of the spike exerts 600 lbs. pressure. This was explained to me in a survive an attack class in New York.
The goats used in yoga range in age from a few weeks to two years. A Nigerian Dwarf goat (used frequently) weighs 30 to 40 lbs. A regular goat (so to speak) weights 60 lbs. Readers were advised to leave their own mats at home and rent one ($3 to $5) from the leader of the class. Goats are not potty-trained.
It seems a natural leap to something smaller and … softer pawed. Let the puppies loose! The biggest is only about 10 lbs. and all four paws are soft. Naturally a Great Dane is going to be a bigger puppy than a Chihuahua. With bigger paws where little paws could stab you like a paring knife.
So, bearing in mind the desirability of larg-ish, flat hooves, I am considering the merits of the baby rhino. Weight may be an issue - at birth they can weight 88 to 140 lbs. But: they 've got great big flat hooves! How much of a workout do you want? Go for it!
