Cat Yoga: What Is It?

By: Kitty’s Blog

In today’s blog we’re covering what our new upcoming event at our cat cafe is going to be. Cat Yoga! We’re going to explain what exactly is cat yoga, and why it’s the perfect activity for active cat lovers. At Kitty’s Cat Café, we’re all about creating unique, fun, and relaxing experiences for cat lovers. If you’re looking for a new way to bond with your favorite feline friends, Cat Yoga is the purrfect activity for you! Whether you’re a yoga enthusiast or just someone who loves spending time with cats, this one-of-a-kind event will leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed, and fully stretched — all while surrounded by our adorable, adoptable cats. 

What is Cat Yoga?

Cat yoga is exactly what it sounds like: a yoga class that combines traditional yoga poses with the calming presence of our café’s cats. Imagine practicing your downward dog or child’s pose while a playful kitten jumps onto your back or a sleepy cat curls up next to you for a nap. It’s a blend of stretching, mindfulness, and cat cuddles, creating a truly unique yoga experience that’s both soothing and fun.

The idea behind cat yoga is to promote relaxation and stress relief, not only through the physical practice of yoga but also through the therapeutic benefits of being in the presence of cats. Studies have shown that interacting with cats can help reduce anxiety and elevate mood — and what could be more calming than performing a gentle yoga flow with a furry friend lounging nearby or offering you some extra snuggles?

Why Cat Yoga is the Perfect Activity for Active Cat Lovers

For all the cat lovers who enjoy a good stretch, cat yoga is the ultimate way to combine your passions: fitness and feline companionship. Here’s why it’s perfect for you:

  1. Relaxation with a Side of Playfulness
    Yoga is all about mindfulness, balance, and releasing tension. But what if you could make it even more fun? With the playful antics of our café cats, you’ll find yourself smiling through every pose. Whether it’s a kitten climbing up your leg or a lazy cat curiously pawing at your mat, the cats add a lighthearted element to your practice, making each session feel like a delightful adventure.
  2. Stress Relief
    The physical benefits of yoga are well-known, but adding cats into the mix enhances the mental and emotional benefits. Cats are naturally calming creatures, and simply being in their presence can lower stress and anxiety. During a cat yoga session at Kitty’s Cat Café, you’ll experience the soothing effect of deep stretches combined with the gentle, purring therapy of our café cats. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a busy day or week.
  3. Get Active with a Furry Companion
    If you love cats but find it hard to get active, cat yoga offers a great way to move your body without sacrificing your love of animals. You’ll get a great workout — whether it’s stretching, strengthening, or balancing — while being surrounded by our friendly and adorable feline residents. You might even find that the cats are the perfect motivators to help you push through those challenging poses!
  4. Bonding with Cats
    Cat yoga allows you to form a deeper connection with our café cats. It’s not just about the physical practice; it’s about the gentle interaction between human and cat. Whether you’re playing with a cat during a break or simply sharing quiet moments, this experience fosters a sense of mutual relaxation and companionship. Plus, if you fall in love with one of our cats, you may even be able to adopt them!
