Southampton Animal Foundation launches puppy yoga and wellness weekend in Bridgehampton

Bridgehampton is getting a Memorial Day Weekend event that turns puppy yoga into a full wellness outing: Southampton Animal Foundation’s Paws, Plunge & Puppy Yoga! will run May 24 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Hub Hamptons, 2183 Montauk Highway, with tickets priced at $50 and spots listed as limited.

The format gives the afternoon a broader draw than a standard mat class. Alongside puppy yoga, the lineup includes luxury sauna and cold plunge recovery provided by Drift Wellness, layering a rescue-friendly community event into a Hamptons-style wellness package. The event page urges attendees to secure tickets quickly, a detail that fits a holiday-weekend outing built for people who want something distinctive, social and easy to share.

The setting matters just as much as the programming. The HUB describes itself as a luxury Hamptons lifestyle destination in Bridgehampton, with retail, pop-ups, events, fitness classes and curated home design through HUB HOME. That makes it a natural backdrop for an event that blends exercise, recovery and local gathering instead of treating puppy yoga as a stand-alone novelty.

Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation adds the nonprofit side of the equation. The organization says it is one of the leading no-kill animal shelters on Long Island and serves the entire Township of Southampton, giving the weekend event a clear community purpose beyond the lifestyle appeal. The shelter’s events calendar also lists Hydrant Hotel, an adoption-related program set for May 23, which suggests Memorial Day Weekend is being used as a broader push for shelter visibility and support.

Drift Wellness brings the recovery component into sharper focus. Its standard setup includes a wood-fired barrel sauna, cold plunge tub, luxury towels and robes, full setup and breakdown, and service for up to eight guests during sessions of up to three hours. The company says its sauna and cold plunge experiences are designed for private homes, backyard gatherings, recovery days and special events, which makes the Bridgehampton pop-up feel like an extension of the region’s premium wellness culture.

The shelter has used puppy yoga before as well. A separate Pickles & Paws event page includes puppy yoga among its family-friendly attractions, showing this is part of an established formula now expanded with a sauna and cold-plunge twist. In a crowded holiday weekend, that combination of rescue support, recognizable local names and a very specific Hamptons setting is what makes Paws, Plunge & Puppy Yoga! stand out.
