2. Yoga With Cats
>> Do yoga with cats every month in Dayton
Every third Saturday of the month, the kittens of SICSA get extra loose and limber to practice their best yoga poses. Cats roam the room, and occasionally claw at a yoga mat or two, as Dayton Yoga Club instructor Matt Turner leads a class into a state of zen relaxation.
The monthly class, held at the adoption center, fills up fast and your best bet to getting in the door is pre-registering on SICSA's website.
When: Every third Saturday of the month
Where:
