Start the new year off right with a Cats N' Mats Yoga Night at Tenth Life Cat Rescue!
About this Event

As you may know, anywhere from three to twenty cats and kittens reside at Tenth Life's home-like storefront while they await their forever homes. Curious cats and kittens make for a fun yoga experience and a fundraiser like this one not only introduces more people to the work of Tenth Life while directly supporting it, it helps to socialize the cats who live there, as well.

ABOUT THE CLASS...

We love how our community rises to the occasion but we realize that helping others and caring a great deal can be just as exhausting as it is exhilarating and fulfilling. Cats n' Mats Yoga at Tenth Life is a friendly, non-judgmental environment where anyone at any level can join in to relax and balance your passions with your human need for self-care, down-time, laughter, friendship, and a sense of community. Wear what you want. Work at your own pace. Just breathe.

This is a completely open-level yoga class. You only need a mat and a love of cats to participate! And we have a couple of mats if you don't have one. Curious kitties will be meandering about whilst we get our stretch on. This class is meant to be fun and nourishing to our bodies and souls while helping Tenth Life give cats the lives they deserve!

Tickets are available for just $15 each and because our instructors have generously donated their time, 100% of the proceeds help cats in need!

*$15 of every ticket purchased goes directly to Tenth Life. There may also be a small processing fee incurred during checkout.

Because this is a fundraiser for Tenth Life and our instructors graciously donate their time to make this event possible, we do not offer refunds but you can feel good about doing good for cats and the community while also doing something good for yourself. If you cannot attend for any reason, you may gift your spot to a friend or a stranger by emailing [email protected].

Thank you for your generous support!

To prepare you for a fun experience, here are a few important things to remember:

  • Class begins at 6:00PM and will run until 7:00PM.
  • Doors open 15 minutes before the event at 5:45PM.
  • Please try to arrive early to secure your spot on the floor ... and hang out with kitties!
  • Please note that doors will close at 6:00PM. Stragglers will not be admitted once class begins so don't dawdle!
  • If you're allergic to cats, please remember to take your meds because kitties may be all up in your grill.

ABOUT DENA...

Dena French, EdD, RDN, LD, ERYT-200, RYT-500 (she/her) is an educator, dietitian, and fitness enthusiast who first discovered yoga when she enrolled in a yoga course for PE credit in college. That initial experience led her down a path of self-exploration, increased mindfulness, and improved mental and physical health. After 12 years of personal yoga practice, Dena took the next step on her journey and completed a 200-hour foundational yoga teacher training with Urban Breath Yoga in 2015. She later completed an additional 300-hour advanced training with Yoga Buzz in 2022.
Dena often engages in personal study of the ancient yoga philosophies, integrating them into modern daily life and yoga practice spaces. She offers classes that are creative yet simple; challenging yet accessible; and that invite deeper exploration physically, mentally, and spiritually. She meets students where they are on their yoga journey, recognizing that everyone has unique reasons for coming to the mat.
Between monthly Cats N’ Mats sessions, you can catch one of Dena’s other classes at the YMCA, Shanti Yoga, or Move by BJC. In her spare time, Dena enjoys hanging out with her partner and their two kitties, whom they adopted from Tenth Life!
