Bunnies will soon be bounding to SFU Burnaby to accompany an Easter-themed yoga class benefitting the Small Animal Rescue Society of B.C.
The 50-minute Hatha yoga session will feature “bunny socialization” with adoptive rabbits from the society. There is a suggested entry donation of $10, with all pro-ceeds going towards SARS B.C. All the bunnies participating in the event are currently in foster care and looking for permanent homes.
This is SFU’s third bunny yoga session in support of the Burnaby-based rescue society. According to Lisa Hutcheon of SARS B.C., the bunny yoga events – which began in Vancouver last October – are fundraisers used to promote awareness of the number of small animals that reside in shelters.
“We’re not looking to promote the adoption of bunnies just around Easter time. You need to do your research like you would with any pet – [rabbits] need just as much attention as a cat or a dog,” Hutcheon said.
The event is open to the public and will take place on March 23, 12:30 to 1:20 p.m. in room 403 at the Lorne Davies Complex at SFU’s Burnaby campus.
