THE PRACTICE

A 45-minute hatha flow tuned for all levels

The class is a 45-minute hatha-style session with instruction that offers modifications and variations, and includes meditation and savasana so participants of varied experience can work at their own level.

THE COMPANY

Cats on the mat—unpredictable, comforting companions

Cats roam freely during class: they may observe from a distance, hop onto a mat, or curl beside you, bringing an element of playful unpredictability to the practice.

THE AFTER

Tea and a half-hour with adoptable cats

After the yoga portion, the session includes a 30-minute cafe visit where participants can relax with soothing tea and spend time meeting adoptable cats in the space.
