Encinitas puppy yoga fundraiser welcomes people and dogs this Saturday

Pet Power Studio will turn its Encinitas space into a dog-friendly fundraiser this Saturday, with Amanda Joy Coleman hosting a yoga class where people and their dogs are both welcome to join. The 9:30 a.m. session is set up to raise money for Rovers Retreat, giving local dog lovers a simple way to show up, practice, and support a rescue at the same time.

The appeal is in the format as much as the cause. CBS 8 described the gathering as open to all dogs, which makes it feel less like a polished wellness demo and more like a neighborhood event built for participation. If you have a dog, the invite is straightforward: bring your pup. If you do not, the class still reads as a community-friendly way to take part in the fundraiser and share the space with the rescue crowd gathering around it.

Rovers Retreat gives that effort a clear purpose. The rescue describes itself as a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) organization that was born from the need to advocate for dogs who cannot speak for themselves. It also says it places dogs in foster homes until they are ready for adoption, and Adopt-a-Pet lists the rescue as serving both Los Angeles County and San Diego County. For a Saturday class in Encinitas, that means the yoga mat is only part of the story. The real draw is the chance to help a rescue that depends on volunteers, foster homes and donations to keep dogs moving toward adoption.

The event also fits neatly into Amanda Joy Coleman’s ongoing work in this corner of the local wellness scene. CBS 8 previously highlighted her calming yoga classes with dogs, and a separate dog-centered gathering at Pet Power Studio last year, the Senior Dog Yoga & Encinitas Meet & Greet with Frosted Faces Foundation, showed the studio was already becoming a regular home for rescue-minded programming. That history gives Saturday’s class a familiar shape: a local studio, a local host and a local rescue all pulling in the same direction.

For Encinitas residents looking for an easy weekend plan, the formula is simple. Show up at Pet Power Studio at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 14, bring a dog if you have one, and treat the class less like a one-off novelty than a community fundraiser with paws on the floor and a rescue benefit at its center.
