With spring in full bloom, there’s no better time to focus on your wellness! Prioritizing your wellness doesn’t have to just be about getting active, though; it can take on many forms, such as animal therapy! Interacting with animals has proven to help release endorphins, which are those feel-good chemicals in your brain that help you de-stress. Check out these three can’t-miss spots where you can unwind with an adorable furry companion.
The Catfé
If you’ve ever wanted to experience a cat cafe like the ones in Japan, look no further than The Catfé in Lawrenceville. Owners Roger and Brittany opened the establishment after backpacking across Europe and discovering this sense of community at local pubs and gathering spots. They combined this with their love of cats and opened up The Catfe! Here, you can enjoy locally roasted coffee from Phoenix Roasters, a menu full of tasty sandwiches and homemade pies, along with adorable cats that roam the space.
Goat Yoga Georgia
Another popular trend that’s recently hit the wellness scene is goat yoga! If you want to experience it for yourself, check out Got Yoga Georgia in Loganville. The class is taught by a certified yoga instructor from 3 Down Dogs Yoga and is open to all ages and skill levels. During the class, Nigerian Dwarf Goats roam the area and they’ll even jump on your back for a fun photo op!
