Puppy Yoga at Crank Arm Raleigh: A Sunday Morning of Movement, Connection, and Puppy Love

shanaEvents & Fundraisers

If you’re picturing a quiet yoga studio filled with soft music and deep silence… puppy yoga might surprise you — in the very best way.

Puppy Yoga with Blazin’ Trails Bottle Babies is playful, a little chaotic, full of laughter, and absolutely unforgettable. It’s the kind of class where you try to hold a pose and suddenly feel a warm puppy belly flop onto your mat, or where savasana turns into a full-blown puppy cuddle puddle. And honestly? That’s the magic.

From the moment you roll out your mat, puppies are on the move. They weave between arms, curl up under knees, investigate water bottles, and occasionally decide that your hair, sleeve, or shoelace is fascinating. The room fills with giggles, camera clicks, and the kind of joy that can’t be scheduled or scripted.

This isn’t about perfection or polished poses. It’s about showing up, letting go, and leaning into the beautiful chaos that happens when a room full of humans and puppies share space.

What makes Puppy Yoga extra special is knowing where these puppies started. Many of the pups you meet began life fragile, tiny, and completely dependent on foster care. Bottle feedings around the clock. Sleepless nights. Careful monitoring. Big love in small moments.

If you’ve ever wondered what fostering really looks like behind the scenes, our blog From Abandoned to Adored: The Journey of a Foster Puppy shares that story beautifully — from those early days to moments like this, where puppies are confident, playful, and soaking up connection.

Puppy Yoga also gives puppies something important: gentle socialization. New people. New sounds. New environments. All while being supported by the humans who know them best. It’s one small but meaningful step in preparing them for life beyond foster care.

Some people come for yoga and leave with 300 photos on their phone. Some come “just to look” and start asking questions about fostering or adoption. Others simply leave lighter than they arrived, reminded that joy doesn’t always look calm — sometimes it looks like puppies stealing your yoga block.
