Two words for you: Alpaca. Yoga.
You HEARD me right! On Martha’s Vineyard, there is is a wonderful place called Island Alpaca. For a small price you can visit and see some ADORABLE alpacas and walk the grounds.
But if you’re into yoga (or just sitting on your mat and being close to alpacas) you’ll want to look for their Alpaca Yoga classes. This class is open to all levels (which was nice because I was very out or practice).
While I did find some of the movements kind of difficult, you’re not expected to be perfect! It was a picture perfect day so it was just amazing to just be outside in the fresh air, moving our bodies with some new alpaca pals.
In terms of COVID-19, they made us feel SUPER safe by spreading everyone out (6ft apart) on one of their outdoor pastures. Luckily Molly, my sister and I secured some spots in the back-corner so we were able to be next to each other.
Pro Tip: Sit next to one of the garbage pale lids. You may feel inclined to sit as far away as possible but those are actually used to hold the alpacas food. As one can imagine, the alpacas spend a lot of time near the food.
Last but not least, here is their LIVE Alpaca Cam – you’re welcome.
