Adoptable puppy yoga takes over 360 CHICAGO’s 94th floor

A yoga mat on the 94th floor of the former Hancock Building came with adoptable puppies, sweeping views and a choice between a mimosa or coffee from CloudBar, turning a familiar wellness trend into a distinctly Chicago outing.

360 CHICAGO posted the Puppy Yoga session for Sunday, April 12, from 7:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m., with tickets starting at $75. The all-levels class paired flow and stretch with puppies from One Tail at a Time, the Chicago rescue that says its work centers on ending pet homelessness by supporting under-resourced shelters and helping families keep the animals they already love.

The setup was built for more than novelty. After the 45-minute class, participants were invited to stay for puppy playtime, talk with volunteers about the adoption process and take in the observation deck views. 360 CHICAGO says the event directly benefited One Tail at a Time, and all proceeds were slated to go back to the rescue’s work. The deck, perched 94 floors above Chicago and 1,030 feet above the Magnificent Mile, gave the session the kind of setting that can make even a simple weekend class feel like an event.

CloudBar added another layer to the pitch. Open daily, the bar serves local Chicago flavors and drinks, and the event listing folded that perk into the experience with the promised mimosa or coffee. For a crowd already showing up for puppy cuddles and skyline photos, the drinks option made the morning feel less like a one-off workout and more like a polished city outing.

One Tail at a Time brings a broader rescue mission to that spectacle. Founded in 2008, the no-kill 501(c)(3) says it supports under-resourced shelters and pet families, helps hundreds of families find a new best friend each year, and operates adoption spaces at 2144 N. Wood St. in Bucktown and 1101 S. Canal St. in South Loop PetSmart. It also helped create Chicagoland Rescue Intervention and Support Program, known as CRISP, which it describes as Chicago’s only shelter-diversion program, built with seven other no-kill rescues.

The April 12 class was not the venue’s only puppy-yoga date. An earlier adoptable puppy yoga session at 360 CHICAGO was listed for Saturday, Jan. 25, at 7:45 a.m., and the deck has also hosted other yoga programming, including Space Between. That repeat activity suggests the concept is settling in as part of the venue’s wellness-and-charity calendar, not just a single stunt with a great view.
