Michelle Tritten of Hello Critter hosts rejuvenating goat yoga events around Los Angeles. Her crew of Nigerian dwarf goats (including Roscoe, Floyd, Billy, Burlap, Fanny, Lil’bit, Gigi, Felix and Hansel & Gretel) are playful and loving, with a fondness for riding on your back when you’re in plank pose or child’s pose (we’ve flowed with them, so we know). On Sunday, Aug. 9 — as part of Gloria Molina Grand Park’s Wellness Break Wild Card Series — Hello Critter will lead two, back to back (baaaack to baaaack) 45-minute goat yoga sessions outdoors, in the downtown L.A. park. The event — at which free yoga mats will be provided — is open to all ages and experience levels, though Hello Critter recommends participants weigh at least 75 pounds. Arrive 30 minutes prior to class. If sold out, join the waitlist, which is updated regularly as new spots open up. The Wellness Break Wild Card Series also puts on 45-minute yoga classes every Wednesday and Friday, noon-12:45 p.m. But flowing with goats is special. Goat Yoga: 4-6 p.m., Sun., Aug. 9; Gloria Molina Grand Park, 200 N. Grand Ave., downtown L.A.
