At the Garlands, interactions with furry friends offer therapeutic benefits for animals and Garlands members alike.
This winter, nine seven-week-old Hoof Woof & Meow Animal Rescue puppies were invited to “puppy yoga” with Garlands members, who were overjoyed with their roly-poly antics.
“Needless to say, there was more shoelace pulling, cuddles, and puppy kisses than yoga that took place that day,” says fitness supervisor Bethanie Lochman.
Bethanie added, “Regardless, the puppies were adorable ambassadors of peace, love, and ‘namaste,’ which is exactly what yoga is all about.”
