Goat Yoga depends on weather conditions and a good tent

A new chapter of our lives now occupies our weekends until the end of July.  The ever changing weather conditions have caused David to swiftly manage rescheduling with our very flexible instructors and participants.  With the cold weather the first of May, we  were forced to reschedule a number of classes.  Two weekends ago the weather turned into an August heat wave.   Yet yoga participants kept coming!  We held four classes this last weekend as the temperatures rose.  Our classes were held at the Waller pasture under a black shade tarp cutting the heat by 5 degrees. Many people so enjoyed the interaction with our goat babies, made it worth the efforts to keep the animals cooled off.  This last weekend of June 9 and 10 were only 2 days of a five day cycle of rain. Although we managed to hold two classes, three were rained out.  Last weekend we have endured a heat dome in the 90s at Garfield Park classes. 

This coming  weekend seems comfy though we have decided to purchase and set up a pavilion tent to help us mitigate changes in temperature and rain.  
​
O Chicago, the windy city brings such different conditions daily.
