Sign Up for Puppies & Yoga

If yoga wasn’t your thing before, it sure is now. How could you say no to doing a downward dog while surrounded by dogs? And by dogs, I mean puppies! With the opening of seven new locations across the country, Puppies & Yoga is bringing the wellness concept to Fort Point just in time with school starting and summer ending. Each class is 45 minutes of yoga followed by 30 minutes of puppy play time. You don’t need to bring a mat or any yoga experience to join the class. And in case you don’t get that picture perfect moment of a puppy falling asleep on your lap while you namaste, don’t worry. There will be a photographer onsite! You might be tempted to take one home with you, but that is not the intention of the class. In fact, most of the puppies already have families that they will be joining in just a few weeks time. Get all the scoop and a discount code to sign up here!
