“If you’ve wanted to try yoga and the only difference you know between upward facing dog and downward facing dog is how your own pupper likes to play, don’t even worry about it – this is CATFEST, after all! Join me for some CAT-arunguas, kitten poses and all the other cat puns I can come up with,” says instructor Janelle Snow.
Note: this is a casual beginner yoga class (that entails a lot of kitten cuddles!)
If you’re pregnant or think you might be pregnant, please consult your doctor before practicing.
