THE LOUNGE

A cozy cat lounge with affectionate rescue residents

The session takes place in a dedicated cat lounge where rescue cats are free to interact; guests are encouraged to offer gentle pets and to respect the cats’ space for a calm, mutual experience.

THE PRACTICE

Guided, beginner-friendly yoga in short format

A guided yoga class unfolds inside the lounge; participants are asked to bring a yoga mat and comfortable clothing for the roughly 50-minute session, keeping the practice accessible and focused on relaxation.

THE PROTOCOL

Simple rules keep cats and people comfortable

To protect the cats and ensure a smooth visit, guests must bring ID and booking confirmation, sanitize hands on entry and exit, avoid outside food or pets, and leave large bags at home or in designated storage.

The class has a measured tempo: a brief check-in, quick orientation to lounge guidelines, then a guided sequence while cats weave between participants or nap nearby. The presence of animals shifts attention outward and inward at once—gentle petting and soft vocal cues punctuate the practice, making for an intimate, low-key session.
