THERE’S bikram yoga, hot yoga and now…there’s also goat yoga – and Kate Beckinsale is a big fan.

She shared pictures of herself trying out the bizarre trend after it appeared on Countryfile earlier this year.

Kate took part in the session with her ex-husband, Michael Sheen, and their teenage daughter, Lily, as she celebrated her 45th birthday.

She posted the snaps on Instagram with the caption: “Best birthday ever.

“We all prayed that the goat’s blessings would happen on Michael’s mat and they did.

“Thank you for such a lovely day.”

Kate’s farmyard friend looked as though it was a prom after clambering onto Kate’s back as she tried a variety of positions.

Michael looked less sure in one of the pictures however, as the goat climbed onto him.

Kate was far more enthusiastic and she even fed the goat from her mouth, after tempting it over by putting some food on the tip of her lips.

The weird trend was featured on Countryfile earlier this year, with fans joking they felt they had been spiked after watching it.

While there don’t seem to be many additional health benefits to doing yoga with goats, it seems the interaction with animals would make the exercise a lot more fun.

Yoga teacher Jodi Michaels runs classes with goats in the US and previously said of the trend: “Let’s face it, the whole idea of ‘goat yoga’ is a little absurd – but don’t discount it as novelty.

“The goats force you to be light-hearted and not take every little thing so seriously.”
