Terms like downward-facing dogs, puppy pose are all heard in the yoga classes when the instructors ask you to warm up your body. But this time these words were heard from a place close to where the name comes from. These words were heard alongside little cute puppies and barking dogs. At Red Shedman farm brewery, Yogis were joined by man’s best friend for a good reason.

It was a one-hour-long session. Yogis and Dogs were on their mats for a sweaty yoga session organized by Doggy Noses and Yoga Poses. This group has a unique approach by organizing yoga classes all along the East coast for yogis and dog lovers. They help people in practicing yoga along with some sweet creatures called dogs. They try to bring awareness through their cause and raise funds for a few local animal rescue groups.

The recent session included dogs from a local rescue group named as PetConnect Rescue which works in fostering dogs and cats who are at high risk of euthanasia. They help the rescued dogs and cats in transitioning them from their foster care homes to their permanent homes in the presence of their loved ones. A volunteer Nina Price, owner of two rescue dogs herself explains “Events like these play a very important role in the adoption process of foster dogs. People get the motivation to fund dog rescue organizations and adopt dogs. We are working on rescuing dogs and finding their potential forever homes at such events.”
