Start your day with some puppy love and a good stretch! This Power-Yoga class is a strength-focused class built around foundational yoga poses, repetitive movements, and empowered flows.
Pair that with adoptable pups for the cutest workout you’ve ever had.
Expect laughter, cuddles, and maybe a few surprise kisses.
THIS CLASS IS SOLD OUT!
This Pet Parade is FREE to attend but registration is appreciated!
