We recently connected with Coco Trevino and have shared our conversation below.
Coco, appreciate you joining us today. Risking taking is a huge part of most people’s story but too often society overlooks those risks and only focuses on where you are today. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – it could be a big risk or a small one – but walk us through the backstory.
The Real risk in life is when you play it safe! …Gary Vee! Taking a risk in starting Farm Yoga has been the best decision I’ve made in life. It was hard at the beginning when no one believed that I was capable of running a goat farm . At times enduring the jokes about running my circus or how I would smell like goat …but I would always return the joke with “you smell the goats but I smell the money “. It all just made me stronger and more determined. Not taking that risk..would have been the biggest mistake in my life.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
My name is Coco Trevino, Im a physical therapist assistant by profession, but im a farmer at heart . I love all animals in the world and I believe in Wellness . I got into goat yoga thanks to my friend Kim Rocha (founder of San Antonio Backyard Pet Chickens group) who introduce me to the concept of doing yoga classes surrounded by my goats . But we had goats and pigs and chickens ,turkeys and geese so we called it “Farm Yoga”. Five years later we are the only Goat Yoga Wellness program in San Antonio Tx that offers private and public events . We are extremely proud to offer therapeutic mental wellness thru yoga and farm animals to various groups suffering from ptsd like Wounded warriors to Trafficked children and we hope to expand our reach to all of our community that can benefit from us.
We also offer private events like bachelorrette parties, corporate team building activities , school and universities wellness days and birthday parties at our farm .
