What's the newest exercise craze in the fitness world? Cat yoga!
Pet lovers practicing yoga with cats is a booming trend! Best of all, it's great for both humans and their furry companions! For those of you who love to exercise and love to interact with animals, cat yoga is the perfect way to bond with your kitty and get in a good workout at the same time.
Health Benefits for Humans
More than just a series of physical poses, yoga also encompasses meditation and breathing. The popularity of yoga, a discipline that has been practiced for thousands of years, has increased greatly over the past few decades as more people discover its benefits. In addition to improving flexibility, increasing muscle tone, and nurturing mindfulness, research shows that yoga also assists with issues, such as anxiety, chronic illness, and depression.
Benefits for the Cat/Kitten
The cats also greatly benefit from this interaction. They get stimulation from the humans! As curious creatures, they want to know what is going on. They get a lot of loving and affection and more socialization at these events! Yoga classes at ICAS are taught by a certified yoga practitioner whose goal is to welcome animal lovers and prospective pet parents to the shelter to visit with the adoptable cats. Definitely a win-win situation!
