- Petting Zoo & Goat Yoga-
For most of us, spending time with animals is a super easy and quick boost of serotonin. Just petting animals promotes the release of serotonin, prolactin, and oxytocin- all hormones that can play a part in elevating moods. It also lowers anxiety, helps people relax, provides comfort, reduces loneliness, and increases mental stimulation.
Combine this with the known physical and mental health benefits of yoga, such as stretching, mindfulness, cardiovascular health, reduced back pain, relaxation, and meditation - Goat yoga can provide an escape or happy distraction and is a nice unique relaxing yet playful activity!
