Downward-facing dog will soon involve a lot more cats. EveryBODY Fitness will host its 3rdAnnual “Cats on Mats” yoga class on March 24
th beginning at 5pm. EveryBODY Fitness will be
partnering with Huntington Cabell Wayne Animal Control Shelter to help raise awareness for
International Rescue Cat Day which is celebrated every year in March.
The class will be led by RYT-200 Marianne Kalinoski and will last approximately two hours with
one half devoted to yoga and the remainder for playing with cats. The cost of the session will
be donation based with a recommendation of $15-$20 as a part of the proceeds will go
directly to HCWACS.
The combination class and adoption event gives people the opportunity to interact with the
cats outside the shelter. It gives them exposure and shows their personality as well as
allowing people to envision these pets in their home easier because they’re outside the shelter
environment. Each of the past year Everybody Fitness has raised about $1,000 per event they
have hosted.
The event is part of EveryBODY Fitness’ mission statement of giving back to the community.
Each month EveryBODY Fitness selects a local program or charity to partner with. Gym
members bring in items listed as needed for the program for the selected month and then the
items are donated to the program.
According to the National Institute for Health (NIH) interacting with animals can decrease
cortisol, a stress-producing hormone, and lower blood pressure. Studies have also found that
spending time with animals can reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support, and
boost a person’s mood. We’re excited to bring together cat lovers, and anyone who may be
curious about cats, at this fun-filled class focused on health and well-being. This is an
opportunity to learn some yoga poses that can help with balance, coordination, focus, and
movement—all while enjoying their feline classmates during this one-of-a-kind experience.
EveryBODY Fitness is located in the Eastern Heights Shopping Center, 4341 US-60 Suite 101 C,
Huntington, WV 25705. For more information please call: 304-633-1694 or reach out on our
