Shanti Kitti was founded by Sophia Ludyjan to bring together her love for cats and yoga. She was inspired by her cat Alyssa, who loved whipped cream more than yoga and spent her time relaxing in peaceful stretches, fully enjoying every moment without stress. Cats naturally embody calmness and are known as true masters of living in the present moment. At our cat-themed yoga studio in Oceanside, California, we believe connecting with cats and practicing yoga brings peace, happiness, and balance into life. Besides our regular yoga classes, we also host special yoga events with adorable adoptable cats from the non-profit S.P.O.T. to help them find loving homes forever. We also run a Cat-of-the-Month Club where selected pets are featured, celebrated, and their owners receive a boutique gift certificate.

Our mission is to help communities experience positive transformation and promote inner peace, mindfulness, and joyful living through our yoga and meditation classes. Shanti Kitti Yoga is a welcoming space for wellness, relaxation, and community connection where yoga enthusiasts and cat lovers come together to build a happier lifestyle through mindful practice, gentle movement, and the healing presence of animals in a peaceful environment.

"After several years without Yoga in my life, I recently joined a Cat Medley Mixed Level class via zoom. Much to my relief the instructor, as well as students, welcomed me with gusto resulting in melting my nerves that I wasn't "up to it". I also was delighted that the instructor provided options based on the student's assessment of their fitness level. All in all, this experience was a great omen that Yoga can be essential to my life."
