Cat Goddard
Cat Goddard
Cat is a professional fitness instructor who teaches Pilates and vinyasa yoga year-round. She is originally from Massachusetts, but has lived in NYC for the past 8 years. Cat is a former Teach for America school teacher and was once the director of a very stressful not-for-profit youth organization in Harlem. In her new found spare time, she enjoys: spoiling her dog, Prozac; eating spicy food; traveling to beaches all over the world; and trying to do just one more chin up.
Cat is our head instructor in the fitness studio and also loves color-coding the rest of your beach house schedule! When she first came to Fire Island, Cat was a self-proclaimed “fancy girl,” but has since happily traded in her Gucci travel bag and Missoni sundress for a squeaky red wagon and yoga pants…at least most of the time.
Prozac
Prozac
Prozac is a special guest who’s out every weekend so you’ll definitely run into him. He’s kind of an exception because he’s 22 years under the target age for the house, but his personality is just so magnetic, you can’t say no to him. He is a hypo-allergenic mostly Yorkie who doesn’t bark or bite. He mostly likes to lie on your stomach and be petted. He also likes walks on the beach and naps. His dislikes include: being left at home alone, fetch, and taking baths. We know you’ll love him too. Although Prozac is a special exception, pets are not allowed at Seven Seas apart from him, and he will only be around on weekends.
Prozac is aptly named as he is happy almost all the time and makes others share his enthusiasm and zeal for life through doggie osmosis.
