Ira, our Siamese yoga co-instructor, is one of the first alums of the ASPCA Kitten Nursery. A born mover, he began deepening his studies during the pandemic in daily online meditation, yoga, and dance classes. He is a regular participant in The Association’s online weekly editorial planning meetings, as well as classes at CUNY Graduate Center; this semester he’s learning the history and culture of hip hop in New York City, and has recently incorporated some b-boy moves into his yoga practice.
