Let’s help our furry pals find their forever homes while finding our inner zen.

Cameron Green will be leading the session. Cameron is an RYT-200 yoga instructor in the Williamsburg community. She received her RYT-200 training from Jessica Ruff, and she believes that by focusing on body alignment and connecting breath to movement, yoga can strengthen and heal our mind-body connection. She has been practicing yoga for over a decade and is thrilled to combine her love of animals with her love of yoga at Heritage Humane Society. Cameron grew up working in her family’s animal hospital and currently shares her home with a dog named Gus and two cats named Oyster and Tobias.
