Yoga with Cats

The yoga + fill-in-the-blank trend keeps on growing, with classes combining gentle stretching and strength training with beer, wine, mimosas, goats, marijuana and all other manner of activities or things. Yoga-plus-cats truly is one of the more commonly practiced combos, and one of the first regional sessions uniting fitness with friendly felines (to our knowledge) is happening up in North Idaho this month. The limber and agile shelter kitties of the Panhandle Animal Shelter in Ponderay (near Sandpoint) are co-hosting this series of special Thursday afternoon sessions, during which they’ll gladly demonstrate a perfect marjariasana pose, otherwise known as cat pose, on the mat right alongside you. Attendees might even meet and bring home a purr-fect yoga partner.

Thursdays, Jan. 4, 11, 18 and 25 from 1-2 pm • $50 for class series • Panhandle Animal Shelter • 870 Kootenai Cut Off Rd., Ponderay, Idaho • pasidaho.org • 208-265-7297 ext. 103
