Ooooo Big Stretch is our playful movement series where community, connection, and puppies come together.
From our signature Puppy Yoga to strength-based Bark & Burn, every 45-minute class is led by a certified instructor and filled with rescue puppies roaming, snuggling, and stretching right alongside you. Expect feel-good movement, lots of laughter, and those sweet “oooooh big stretch” moments. Whether you’re flowing through yoga, holding a plank with puppy kisses, or simply soaking up the joy.
Puppy yoga
Puppy Yoga is a fun, beginner-friendly yoga class where playful, adoptable puppies roam freely as you flow. Expect gentle movement, lots of laughter, and plenty of puppy cuddles. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just showing up for the puppies (we get it!), everyone is welcome.
bark & burn
Bark & Burn is a playful bodyweight-based strength class designed to explore new ways of moving alongside our favorite four-legged friends. Open to all levels, our focus is on fun and functional movement, with creative ways to move, stretch, and strengthen alongside our furry friends —think squats with snuggles, planks with puppy kisses, and stretches with tail wags.

$35 Suggested Donation – Flexible Pricing for a Purpose
Each Puppy Yoga class has a fundraising goal of $525, with a suggested donation of $35 per person—this is what it takes to keep these joyful events running and rescue more pups!
If you can give more, amazing—your generosity helps cover the cost for someone who may need to give a little less. If giving less helps you join us, we’re glad you’re here.
Everyone is welcome, and every dollar helps us move closer to our goal and save more lives. Thanks for being part of this playful, powerful mission!
Details
Puppy movement classes are typically held on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings, although the exact schedule may vary month to month based on puppies, events, and urgent needs. The schedule for the upcoming month is usually published about two weeks in advance.
Class announcements are shared on Instagram and through the Community Newsletter. Sign-ups tend to come in gradually at first and then fill up within one to two weeks of each session. Following RHAS on social media or subscribing to the newsletter is the best way to stay updated and secure a spot.
Here are a few things to keep in mind for Puppy Yoga:
- For the safety of our staff and community, we will continue requiring masks be worn in our facility, and have some on hand if you need them.
- Participants must be 12 years or older to attend and must be accompanied by a guardian. Guardians do not have to attend class but do need to be nearby (within 5 minutes) of the class location.
- Please wear comfortable clothes that you are not worried about getting dirty!
- We provide yoga mats!
- Come have fun with puppies!
