TAMPA, Fla.–In what may be a first within the CU community, GTE Financial Credit Union here has turned to something new to raise funds: goat yoga.
The latest trend in exercise, goat yoga is just like regular yoga but with the presence of baby goats, some of whom will occasionally feel inclined to hop onto participants’ backs.
“The goats are said to be relaxing and can help those who are less experienced with yoga get more comfortable with the practice,” according to the credit union.
The goat yoga exercise will be held on the lawn of GTE Financial’s headquarters here from 5:15-6:15 on April 18 at a cost of $10 per participant. There will also be an opportunity ahead of the session to have one’s picture taken with a baby goat for $5.
The event is being held raise money for the credit union’s charity of the month, the Tampa Metropolitan YMCA.
