🐾Purr-fect Fun: Cat Yoga Session! 🧘‍♀️
Join us for a delightful afternoon of cat yoga, where furry friends and flexible poses come together in harmony! Designed for all levels of yoga, this heartwarming event is brought to you by Street Cat Alliance and Bloom Holistic Collective Yoga Studio, dedicated to the well-being of our whiskered companions.
Family friendly: kids aged 9+ can attend accompanied by an adult. Maximum 2 kids per 1 adult
🐱 What to Expect:
Embark on a whimsical journey of yoga and feline friendship! Donnamarie, our expert yoga instructor will guide you through poses that are both playful and relaxing. But here's the twist – our adorable rescue cats will be your purr-fect companions throughout the session, adding an extra dose of joy to your stretches and poses.
🌟 Why Cat Yoga?
Not only does cat yoga promote physical activity and flexibility, but it also fosters a sense of empathy and compassion for our four-legged friends. These rescue cats are on a journey to find loving homes, and your participation in this session helps raise awareness about the importance of animal adoption and care.
🐈 Kitty Corner:
After the yoga session (approx 30 minutes), 15 minutes of play time or cuddles with our felines that are awaiting adoption.
Total session time for Cat Yoga: 45 minutes
🌈 Let's Stretch, Snuggle, and Support Together!
Bring your yoga mats, an open heart, and a love for feline friends. This cat yoga session promises laughter, warmth, and the chance to make a positive impact on the lives of our whiskered companions. We can't wait to see you there!

Can I bring children to this event?
Yes, children aged over 9 can attend, accompanied by a responsible adult (18+), participating in the session. Max 2 kids per 1 adult. Please be aware that cats prefer quiet, slow movements, so if your kids aren't like this, for the cats' sake do not attend. Rambunctious humans will be asked to leave.

No. We will not have yoga mats for you to use for the cat yoga session. You must bring your own.
What do I need to bring for the cat yoga session?
Please bring your yoga mat, a water bottle, and wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement. We also encourage participants to bring an open heart and a playful spirit! Please be aware that cats have sharp claws that can rip into mats and clothing - leave expensive mats and yoga gear at home!
What if a cat scratches or bites me?
Cats and especially kittens are playful and at times unpredictable creatures, using their paws and mouth for play sessions. We recommend using the toys provided to play with the cats and avoid using hands, hair or clothing for play.
What if I am allergic to cats?
If you know you have allergies, we recommend seeking medical advice about attending this session. Your physician may recommend taking medications.
Are the cats and kittens toilet trained?
Yes. However, accidents do happen! Please be prepared for this event. Volunteers will assist in the case of any accidents.
How fit do I need to be for the yoga?
This is a beginner level class. The poses will be gentle and suitable for ages 9-99! You will need to be medically fit to join the class. If you have any medical concerns, please consult your Doctor prior to signing up for this cat yoga session.
Are the cats adoptable, and can we adopt them at the event?
Yes, the cats participating in the event are seeking loving homes. While adoption isn't finalised during the event, the dedicated volunteers from SCA will provide information on the adoption process and guide interested families through the next steps.
How can I get involved or volunteer with the cat rescue organisation?
We'd love to have you join our community! Visit our facebook or speak with our event volunteers to learn more about volunteer opportunities, fostering programs, and other ways you can contribute to our mission of saving and improving the lives of cats.
