Puppy Yoga + Cuddles at Stoney's Benefitting a Local Austin Rescue
Hosted by Kitten Paws and Downward Dogs
Puppy yoga, East Austin style — in a backyard built for it.
Join Kitten Paws and Downward Dogs at Stoney's Good Time Ranch for 45 minutes of gentle, all-levels yoga in their fully fenced, shaded backyard, with adoptable rescue puppies loose among the mats. Fans and misters running, coffee and matcha pop-up open, and no one minding if a puppy interrupts your flow.
Then the puppies stay. When class ends, the yard opens for a full hour of puppy cuddles and photos — no ticket needed for that part. Bring a friend who'd rather skip the yoga, grab a coffee, and hang out with the pups. Donations to the rescue are gladly accepted.
The puppies are the point. Every puppy is a rescue and is looking for a home. Our rescue partner brings the puppies, their pen and their volunteers, so you can meet, cuddle and start an adoption conversation on the spot.
Where the money goes. Proceeds from this event go to a local Austin rescue. We will announce our rescue partner here as soon as they are confirmed, and the event is held in their honour with the net proceeds going straight to them.
