Puppy yoga and pilates event in Pennsylvania doubles as fundraiser
Breathe On Broad’s Belle Vernon puppy yoga and pilates event paired two 45-minute classes with puppy playtime and a Mon Valley Paws donation drive.
Puppy yoga and puppy pilates at Breathe On Broad in Belle Vernon packaged movement, puppy time and a charity drive into one ticketed outing on Saturday, June 27. The event at 540 Broad Avenue gave attendees two options, a 45-minute puppy yoga class at 8:30 a.m. and a 45-minute puppy pilates class at 10:00 a.m., with 30 minutes of puppy playtime after each session.
That structure turned the morning into more than a single class. Each session was priced at $35 and was not included in monthly memberships, a sign that Breathe On Broad treated it as a special event rather than a regular studio add-on. The listing also said preregistration was strongly encouraged because the classes were expected to sell out.
The puppy lineup added its own draw: seven Star Wars-themed puppies born on May 4 were part of the event, giving the morning a playful hook beyond the usual adoption-class setup. Amanda and Stephanie from Abstract Tattoo were also listed on site with pet-themed flash tattoos, another detail that pushed the gathering toward a neighborhood day out instead of a simple workout slot.
The fundraiser side carried equal weight. Mon Valley Paws said its mission is to assist individuals and nonprofit organizations specializing in animal health care and rescue while keeping raised funds in the Mon Valley area. The group says it also supports pets, families, shelters and rescues through grants, community programs and partnerships. For this event, organizers asked for pet food, toys, blankets and monetary donations, and said people who did not attend class could still drop off donations next door at Willow Collective.
Mon Valley Paws has made itself visible across the region through other community events, including First Presbyterian Church’s 11th annual Blessing of the Animals in Belle Vernon on June 13 and a monthly meeting on June 22 at the ISMA Italian Club in Monessen. The group also keeps office hours at Pet Supplies Plus, 120 Sara Way in Belle Vernon, and can be reached at info@monvalleypaws.com or 724-314-6571.
The morning at Breathe On Broad showed how puppy yoga is widening into a full local event format: one studio, two movement styles, a puppy play window, a donation drive and a couple of extra community stops built into the same Belle Vernon address.
