As a passionate Pilates instructor and dedicated kitten foster mom, Darly Murray brought her two greatest loves together to create Purlates—a one-of-a-kind class that blends mindful movement with the joy of animal therapy. Over the past three years, she has fostered more than 15 sets of bonded kittens, helping them find their forever homes in partnership with our Brooklyn-based, women-owned rescue organizations. Darly also holds a degree from NYU Gallatin in Alternative Therapies, deepening her commitment to holistic wellness.
Our partners work tirelessly to rescue unhoused kittens and provide them with shelter, medical care, and love. As small, local non-profits, they rely heavily on community support to keep going. At Purlates classes, these kittens steal the hearts of students, who can then become fosters or adopters. By simply showing up, students play a vital role in socializing the kittens—helping them learn to trust, feel safe around, and bond with humans. Purlates inspires communities to adopt, not shop, while raising awareness about the urgent kitten crisis in New York City. With shelters overflowing, each ticket includes a generous donation to Paws of Hope NYC, helping provide care, shelter, and brighter futures for kittens in need.
Our movement routines have been thoughtfully designed to increase strength, endurance, and flexibility. The intersection of mindful movement and feline companionship creates the purfect recipe for physical and emotional well-being. At Purlates, every class is more than a workout—it's a healing experience.
