Bunny yoga, the rabbit-led way.

There are no rabbits at Velour Eden yet. Here's what we're preparing, and how we'll do it.

COMING SOON

Happy Bunnies

Our first animal experience is planned around a small, bonded group of rabbits, living in a calm, climate-conscious bunny village. Guests sit at floor level; the rabbits decide whether to visit. No holding, no chasing, no performing. Rabbits rest on a set schedule, and sessions are capped at small groups.

COMING SOON

Bunny yoga & calm sessions

Gentle movement and stillness in the same space as the rabbits: a calming animal encounter, not a show. Sessions, schedules and pricing will be announced to the list first.

CURRENT

Welfare comes first

We've drafted a written care and welfare plan, and it will be reviewed with a rabbit-savvy vet before any animal arrives. Our rule is simple: animal welfare outranks everything else. No rabbit is ever required to participate.

FUTURE

Goat yoga and other animal encounters

Goat yoga and possible future gentle animal-and-movement sessions are ideas we may explore later, only if we can do them well.

CURRENT

Health & safety

Guided by the NASPHV Compendium for animals in public settings, we'll offer hand-washing stations, keep food and drink out of animal areas, and ask that children under 5 stay closely supervised.

A note on words

Our animal encounters are recreation and education. They are not therapy or treatment of any kind.
