It's time to fight the stigma of cats being lazy. It's time to take a stand for our cats. It's time for cats to go to yoga class.。

Good Mews, a no-kill, cage-free cat shelter in Marietta, Georgia, is pioneering this adorable movement by offering Yoga with Cats classes, in which humans practice yoga surrounded by cats.
。

"The idea originated with the Good Mews marketing committee, which I lead," Nancy Riley, the Good Mews Animal Foundation Board of Directors & Marketing Chair, wrote to。 Mashable

. "We were brainstorming ideas to draw new visitors to Good Mews to help increase adoptions of our shelter cats and kittens." 。

"We had heard about a shelter in California that was offering yoga classes," she said. "We have a brand new, huge building – 5,500 square feet of space that is completely cage-free for the cats. We have the space, so we thought, why not try a yoga class?"。"。
