ASPNR Adds Puppy Yoga Session to 2026 Annual Meeting

Attendees at the American Society of Pediatric Neuroradiology’s 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting in Tampa will have an early-morning chance to stretch, socialize, and support research with ASPNR Puppy Yoga on Saturday, January 17, from 7:00 am to 8:00 am. The event is presented as a professionally organized yoga session intended to provide a fun and refreshing wellness experience for conference participants.

Organizers are tying the activity to a charitable goal: proceeds will support the BNH Research Fund, formally the Barkovich, Naidich, and Harwood-Nash Research Fund. That gives the session an added purpose beyond relaxation and networking, channeling participant and sponsor support back into pediatric neuroradiology research.

Sponsorship opportunities accompany the event for institutions that want visibility while contributing to the fund. The highlighted $2,000 sponsorship tier places an institution’s logo on exercise towels distributed to registered participants. Sponsors at that level also receive recognition across ASPNR channels, including the society website, social media, the conference agenda, onsite signage, and the conference mobile app. An application form for sponsors is available through the meeting materials, and registration for the yoga session is handled the same way.

For conference-goers, the Puppy Yoga offers practical value in several ways. The timed morning slot lets attendees include a wellness activity without missing core sessions, and the casual setting provides informal networking time with colleagues from across institutions. The towel-branded sponsorship also provides a tangible takeaway for participants while increasing visibility for supporting institutions, making corporate or departmental sponsorship a targeted way to support research and community engagement.

Logistics and registration are centralized in the meeting materials; participants and potential sponsors should consult those resources for the application link and any additional instructions. With the session scheduled during the Annual Scientific Meeting, ASPNR Puppy Yoga blends conference programming with a community-minded fundraiser, giving attendees a lighthearted start to the day while directing funds toward pediatric neuroradiology research.
