CBS Sacramento spotlights puppy yoga and mimosas in Sacramento

CBS Sacramento’s Good Day Sacramento gave puppy yoga a bright, easy-to-grasp spotlight: All Stage Development was pitching “Puppy Yoga” with mimosas, yoga flows, and puppy snuggles. That was the whole sell in one shot, and it worked because the event was built less like a hard workout and more like a cheerful morning out.

All Stage Canine Development’s calendar filled in the details. Puppy Yoga + Mimosas was listed for May 16, 2026, with another session set for June 6. Doors opened at 9:00 a.m. for social time and mimosas, then the yoga class began at 9:30 a.m. at 5948 Auburn Blvd., Suite F, Citrus Heights, CA 95621. The price was $35 per person, the class was beginner-friendly, children were welcome, yoga mats were not provided, and personal pets were told to stay home.

The setup matched the kind of event dog people actually show up for. The Carmichael Chamber of Commerce described it as a relaxing and playful morning, and said friendly puppies roamed around during the session. All Stage Canine Development, which serves Greater Sacramento with group classes, private lessons, and behavioral modification training, framed the event as part of early puppy socialization and enrichment rather than just a novelty class. That matters, because the business is coming at this from the dog-training side, not as a one-off gimmick.

There is real animal-behavior logic behind the appeal. The American Kennel Club says puppy yoga can be beneficial for puppies’ socialization, and VCA Animal Hospitals notes that the first 12 to 16 weeks are especially important for that process. Blue Cross says socialization should be balanced with disease prevention and age-appropriate exercise, while the RSPCA says young puppies should be introduced to new situations and people as part of early care. At the same time, animal-welfare reporting has raised concerns that puppy yoga can stress very young dogs if classes are crowded, noisy, or repeated too often, which is why the details of space, pacing, and handling matter.

That is the part CBS Sacramento captured so neatly in a few seconds. The draw was not just puppies on a mat, but a tightly packaged 9 a.m. social hour, a 9:30 a.m. beginner class, and a Sacramento-area event that knew exactly how to turn puppy joy into a morning plan.
