After a long and stressful week, what better way to relax than morning or afternoon yoga with puppies? Each weekend, Puppies & Yoga Washington, DC offers a 75 minute class full of relaxation, smiles, and playtime with the adorable puppies.
Puppy yoga began as an Internet trend due to the similar therapeutic benefits of playing with puppies and doing yoga. It has grown in size, becoming a huge activity across major cities, with it being a gentle physical movement to distract from the tension of everyday life. What originated from one creative idea on social media has now become a full-on experience that blends wellness and animal therapy into one.
Each session starts with 45 minutes of yoga instruction, a refreshing workout that creates a calming environment for the puppies. The yoga appeals to all levels since instructors show the poses, as well as their modified or challenging variations. At Puppies & Yoga Washington, DC, the yoga mats are included, along with a free wellness drink, making this class accessible and inviting for first-time guests.
Afterwards, there is 30 minutes of dedicated puppy playtime. Everyone is free to move around and are welcomed to take photos with their new four-legged friends. Many guests take photos cuddling the pups, making the class about the memories rather than just a workout.
These puppies are between eight-12 weeks old and are vaccinated. The company partners with local breeders, providing the breeder information during each class. This helps each litter gain social skills as a puppy before meeting their future families.
A few days before the weekend classes, the breeds are announced on the company’s social media, with breeds differing between the three locations: Dupont Circle Studio, Logan Circle Studio, and Georgetown Studio. This generates excitement and allows those who will participate to choose which puppy class they like the most ahead of time.
Puppies & Yoga Washington, DC is a fun way to generate healthy habits, and possibly find the perfect puppy to bring home. It has quickly become a popular activity that brings happiness and helps people unwind and try something new.
