If someone asked you what kind of yoga people do in Alaska, reindeer-themed yoga might not be your first guess — but it probably wouldn’t be your last, either. After all, there’s lemur and alpaca yoga, so it should not come as a surprise that some people are exercising beside Rudolph’s cousins.
This new summer yoga class in Fairbanks is offering weekly hatha or vinyasa sessions alongside cervides. Classes begin with a safety talk by yoga instructor and ranch employee Elsa Janney, and is followed by a one-hour session that pretty much resembles a normal yoga class — except you’ll be surrounded by baby and adult reindeer grazing.
