The Day the Cats Took Over Pilates
East Stroudsburg, PA: If you’ve ever tried to hold a plank while a cat headbutts your face for attention — congratulations, you’ve basically done Purrs & Pilates.
This weekend, our newsroom paws trotted over to Cozy Kitty Café in East Stroudsburg, PA, where wellness met whiskers for one of the most joy-filled community events we’ve seen all year. Hosted by Tina Wieland Fitness, this wasn’t your average Pilates class. It was part mindfulness, part movement… and 100% cat-powered magic.
As four rescued felines ourselves (Callie, Seymour, Yebba, and Mama here 👋), we consider ourselves experts in relaxation and stretching. So when we heard there’d be mats, mindfulness, and meows — we knew it was newsworthy.
Who’s Behind the “Purrfect” Partnership?
Meet Tina Wieland, the creative force behind Tina Wieland Fitness — a coach who believes movement shouldn’t feel like punishment.
Her approach blends strength training, Pilates, and mindfulness, all shaped by her own journey with Hashimoto’s and PCOS.
“Sustainable fitness isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about partnership with your body,” Tina says. “I want people to feel capable, not burned out.”
When the Cozy Kitty Café opened — the first of its kind in East Stroudsburg — Tina saw an opportunity to combine her love for cats with her passion for helping people feel at home in their bodies.
And thus, a meow-movement was born.

What Happens When You Mix Pilates and Cats?
Picture this:
🌿 A warm, sunlit room filled with adoptable cats stretching alongside humans.
🎵 Soft music playing as mats roll out and tails swish.
🐾 Cats weaving between poses, flopping on laps, and occasionally stealing the show.
Each Purrs & Pilates class is intentionally beginner-friendly and low-impact, focusing on breath, gentle movement, and mindfulness. Attendees bring their mats, their curiosity, and an open heart — and leave with a few cat hairs as souvenirs.
It’s the kind of class where “downward dog” might turn into “upward cat cuddle.”
And the best part? Half of every ticket sale goes directly to supporting the Cozy Kitty Café’s adoptable cats and rescue mission. 🐱💚
Movement with Meaning: Why It Resonates
After years of isolation, hustle culture, and burnout, people are craving connection — not just fitness.
Tina explains it best:
“People want experiences that feel real. Cats, movement, and community bring that back in the simplest way.”
And she’s right.
Each Purrs & Pilates event sells out faster than a can of tuna at breakfast time. Why? Because it’s more than exercise — it’s healing through laughter, compassion, and presence. In a world where we scroll more than we stretch, events like this remind us to slow down — and maybe let a cat teach us a thing or two about balance.
