Video: New cat yoga program in Stephenville, NL hopes to deliver purr-fect stress reliever – The Telegram
There may be the occasional downward-facing dog, but the cats don’t seem to mind a bit.
A new youth-led yoga program in Stephenville is incorporating felines into its sessions as a way to enhance the effects of the relaxing exercise.
Paws and Reflect is a partnership between the Consumers Health Awareness Network of NL (CHANNAL) in Stephenville, Southwest Coast SPCA and People of the Dawn Indigenous Friendship Center.
Emma Dollimount, who is involved with the Ka’ qawej Community Media Partnerships program at the indigenous centre, is one of the youth organizers. She said the combination of cats and poses was ideal for her since she previously did yoga and she loves animals.
“Cat yoga is a trending thing, but just wasn’t happening in this area, up to now,” she said.
