Innovative ‘alpaca yoga sessions’ being hosted at Yorkshire farm prove popular with visitors
Many people have been trying out a new yoga concept where yogis are surrounded by alpacas.
Yoga instructor and photographer, Rebecca Marwood, began hosting classes at Alpaca Alpaca Farm in Yarm when Covid restrictions eased.
The farm has more than 40 alpacas and they have been described as 'intuitive' and 'calm' animals.
The sessions take place four times a year during the summer months of May, June, July and August.
They welcome people from all abilities and backgrounds including those with physical and mental health conditions.
Ms Marwood has been named one of Eventbrite's most innovative yogis for helping expand diversity in the practice.

00:00Hi, I'm Rebecca from Wildflower Yoga. We come here to this alpaca farm to enjoy a beautiful
00:12yoga practice. We practice Hatha Yoga and we do some sound therapy with the sound balls.
00:18We come here to connect with nature, to connect with the beautiful intuitive alpacas. We come
00:22here to just ground ourselves, breathe and just find a little bit of space and wellness
00:27in our lives. It's really popular. People really speak really highly of their feelings
00:34and experiences when they come here. We really encourage you to try it. I promise you, you
00:38will not regret the beautiful experience here with these alpacas. They are the most beautiful
00:43animals you will ever meet. And of course, the breath work and the yoga together is just
00:49a perfect combination for well-being.
