Harvest Seasonal Grill turns puppy yoga into summer series with rescue ties

Harvest Seasonal Grill is turning puppy yoga into a full summer calendar item in Glen Mills, pairing rescue puppies, brunch and a one-hour yoga class into a six-Saturday series on the patio. The next chance to book is May 2, after an April 18 opener, with more sessions set for June 13, July 18, August 22 and September 12.

Each event runs from 9:45 a.m. to noon at 549 Wilmington Pike in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, with yoga scheduled from 10 to 11 a.m. The ticket is $65 per person all-inclusive and includes an entrée choice, a mimosa or zero-proof mimosa, soda, coffee, tea or juice, plus a $25 donation directly to the Brandywine Valley SPCA. Reservations are required through Resy, and the shelter says spots are limited.

The format changes the usual puppy yoga pitch by making it repeatable, not one-off. YogaSix Glen Mills instructors are set to lead the June and August sessions, while guest instructors will handle the other dates, giving the series a little variety while keeping the structure familiar for anyone who wants a low-pressure morning with a built-in social payoff.

The rescue connection is the point that gives the series staying power. The puppies come from the Brandywine Valley SPCA, which says more than 75 animals per day enter its shelters. The organization, founded in 1929, lists 2026 goals of 27,000 placements, 42,000 spay/neuter procedures and a 93% live release rate, so the $25 donation attached to each seat lands as more than a token add-on.

That broader mission is part of why the event keeps returning. The shelter has already used puppy yoga in other fundraisers, including a 2024 Yoga with Puppies listing and a 2025 Walk for Paws lineup that also featured a puppy yoga session. On PHL17, Brandywine Valley SPCA staffer Sara Smith and Harvest Seasonal Grill representative Paul Foglia promoted the series with adoptable puppies in studio, underscoring that this is now a recurring partnership rather than a novelty stunt.

For anyone trying to decide whether to book now, the answer is simple: yes, if the date works. The combination of limited spots, a fixed brunch package, and a rescue tie makes the May 2 session the clearest near-term target, while June and August may draw added interest because of the YogaSix Glen Mills instructors. In a season packed with feel-good fitness events, this one has a real adoption engine behind it, and that is what makes the return worth watching.
