It’s not your typical yoga class. Cats on Mats returned for a third summer at the Denver Animal Shelter on Wednesday.
“In the middle of yoga the lady brought her to me and I just didn’t want to let her go”, said Lindsey Johnson while holding a silver kitten.
Cats on Mats classes are offered at the Denver Animal Shelter, 1241 W Bayaud Ave., every Wednesday in June, July, and August from 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
A professional yoga instructor teaches the class, but sometimes patrons take a break from posing so they can get in a pet or a cuddle.
“Yoga is fun and relaxing but with cats it’s more fun and more relaxing”, said Johnson.
The shelter asks for a $15 donation but is really hoping patrons will not go home with just a good workout but also a new pet.
You can reserve a spot in a upcoming class online.
