Kittens + Yoga + Blooms
Upcoming Events
Join us for Kitten Yoga in the Dahlias
Morning Kitten Yoga in the Dahlias
Start your Sunday morning among the flowers at Rather Rooted Family Farm. Come stretch, play with kittens, and get creative with flowers.
Sunday, September 27th
10:00am-12:00pm
We’ll begin with a 50-minute yoga session led by Anne Marie Woodward, with our farm kittens roaming, playing, cuddling—and very likely interrupting a pose or two along the way.
After yoga, enjoy a complimentary beverage and a slow morning wandering through the dahlia field. Then, Jacki of Rather Rooted will guide you through creating your own seasonal bouquet celebrating Autumn Equinox using flowers grown right here on the farm, highlighting dahlias in the peak of their season.
Your $75 ticket includes kitten yoga, complimentary beverages, time to enjoy the dahlia field, a guided floral arrangement experience, and your own farm-grown creation to take home.
All yoga experience levels welcome. Please bring your own yoga mat, a towel, and shoes that can get dusty—this is a working farm, after all. This intimate farm experience is limited to 20 guests, ages 16 and older.
Meet Your Yoga Teacher
Anne Marie has been living and teaching yoga on the central coast for many years. She brings her love of animals and fun, relaxed style of teaching to this incredible yoga experience.
Meet Your Farmer
Jacki is a flower farmer in Arroyo Grande. She specializes in dahlias and loves to pass on the “dahlia fever” through showcasing their diversity and through education. Career teacher turned homeschooler and farmer, Jacki is looking forward to hosting this event alongside her sister, Jamie.
Meet Our Barn Cat Crew
Pip + Bud + Twig
Our yearling sibling trio run the farm, and they work to boot. Skilled gopher hunters, Pip and Bud also wrangle the kittens. Twig is busy being mama to her fresh little litter.
Cricket + Midge
Two spunky 4 month olds are a cuddle crew of their own. They may take a minute to warm up, but they find their bold stride swiftly.
Cedar + Ash + Pine + Sycamore + Oak
Born under a woodpile, these sweet little things will be 5-6 weeks old at the time of our event. They are also looking for their forever homes!

Jacki from Rather Rooted Family Farm is hosting the event location and the Design with Dahlias Guided Workshop Session.
But the heart behind the idea and the planning is her creative, former-event -planner sister, Jamie. Jamie works with Jacki at Rather Rooted, and she saw this opportunity to create again. Whatever Jamie puts her mind to becomes memorable—her joy is contagious; her hospitality is unmatched. We cannot wait to see what she comes up with next…
