BLACK CAT YOGA
COME PRACTICE WITH US.
Welcome to Black Cat Yoga, a homegrown and heart-led yoga studio in Jacksonville, Florida. Here, yoga is more than postures. It’s a practice that goes beyond the physical and into the heart, grounded in the rich philosophy and history that make yoga a living tradition.
Whether you're stepping onto a yoga mat for the first time or have been practicing for years, you'll find a welcoming community with no pressure...just space to show up as you are.
We offer heartfelt yoga classes, immersive sound journeys, weekly kirtan, inspired workshops, relaxing retreats, and unique teacher training programs devoted to nurturing the next generation of teachers who feel called to lead with love and teach from a place of authenticity.
JACKSONVILLE'S HOME FOR IMMERSIVE SOUND EXPERIENCES
For over 15 years, across Central and Northeast Florida, we’ve been offering unique, multi-layered sound journeys that blend instruments gathered from different corners of the globe, mantras rooted in diverse traditions, and heartfelt intentions to create immersive sound experiences that invite deep rest and reflection.
The practice of sound in yoga is known as Nāda Yoga, and it has deep roots in ancient yogic traditions. Nāda Yoga is based on the idea that everything in the universe, even our own bodies and minds, is made of vibration. By working with sound - whether through instruments, singing, chanting, or simply listening - we can tune into these vibrations more consciously and cultivate a sense of calm and inner harmony.
KIRTAN EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT
Kirtan is all about gathering together, singing from the heart, and just being yourself. It doesn’t require any special skills and you don’t need to sound perfect or even know the words. It’s really about feeling the music, letting go, and connecting with everyone around you. It’s a simple, soulful way to drop out of your head and into your heart.
We offer weekly Kirtan every Friday night at 7:00 pm as a way to build community, nurture real human connection, and to keep this heart-centered tradition alive and accessible to everyone.
A LOVE STORY.
We are soul and life partners committed to sharing yoga and building a community of love and compassion. It is our intention to help you find your own unique path, the one that leads you to your heartspace and returns you to a life of love and grace.
We wouldn't be able to write this love story without you. If you are reading these words, then you are a co-author to this beautiful memoir. Whether you have taken one class, multiple classes, attended an event, liked or shared our posts, connected with us through e-mail or social media, or stopped by to say hello, you have contributed to the growth, vitality, and nourishment of what we are co-creating here at Black Cat Yoga.
And we thank you for that.
As our good friend, Neale Donald Walsch, beautifully reminds us: "All manifestations of our physical world around us are collaborative. They are the products of the joint creation of every human being at some level or another...and the divine."
Hari OM Tat Sat,

The practice of Seva is an expression of compassion for others and a genuine desire to uplift those around you through selfless service. We are honored to partner with Catty Shack Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jacksonville, Florida, in an effort to assist their organization with raising funds so that they may continue to fulfill their mission of providing a safe, loving and forever home to endangered big cats and to educate the public about their plight in the wild and in captivity. Black Cat Yoga guides a special 60-minute accessible yoga experience called "Yoga with the Tigers" on location at Catty Shack Ranch and donates all the proceeds to their organization. Sign up for our e-mails to be notified of future dates and times for these extraordinary experiences.
