If the yoga itself doesn’t get you into a zen state of mind, cuddling with a furry puppy is sure to do the trick! Although the idea of getting your stretch on while pups romp around may seem distracting, it’s also a totally unique way to brighten your day and change up your exercise regimen.
Earlier this month, JABS, a gym in Cutchogue, New York, held a puppy yoga class as a fundraiser for North Fork Animal Welfare League. Three puppies wandered the studio while the class was in session.
“Anything that engages the community on a more spiritual level that the shelter can facilitate, we’re all about,” Denise LeBeau, manager of development at North Fork Animal Welfare League told The Suffolk Times. “We feel like these puppies were really ready to be in this type of environment because we’ve had so many great volunteers and visitors come and play with them and really socialize them.”
