Join us for a playful, heart-opening gathering in honor of the summer solstice — the longest day of the year — where we come together to move, connect, and give back through community, generosity, and a little feline magic.This special event features 21 sun salutations in a light-hearted, cat-inspired yoga flow, surrounded by the cats and kittens of Eden Animal Haven. Whether you're stretching into a pose or pausing for a purr, this is a space to play, connect, and maybe even meet your future furry companion.
This is more than just a fun time on the mat. It's an opportunity to support a local cage-free sanctuary, connect with their mission, and be part of something truly meaningful.
What to Expect
☀️A guided 21 sun salutation flow — all levels welcome
☀️Cat-themed yoga plus time to interact and play with the cats and kittens
☀️A chance to learn about Eden Animal Haven and the heart behind their work
☀️Potential adoption opportunities
☀️A fun, relaxed, and welcoming community atmosphere
This Event Is Also a Fundraiser
Eden Animal Haven is a cage-free sanctuary that lovingly takes in cats and kittens — including those arriving sick or in need of extra care. Their current isolation cubes, used for incoming and unwell animals, are seven-plus years old, falling apart, and nearly impossible to properly clean and disinfect. We have a goal of raising $5,000 to replace them and give every new arrival the safe, clean welcome they deserve.
Can't make it in person? You can still be part of the energy of this day. Donate through the link provided below and know that every dollar goes directly toward the animals. All donations are tax deductible — Eden Animal Haven is a registered nonprofit.
