Wags & Walks hosts dog-friendly yoga fundraiser at West LA center

Wags & Walks is set to run Yoga to the Rescue on Sunday, July 21, with two one-hour class windows, 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., at its West Los Angeles adoption center. The listing says Modern Animal is presenting the event, and the format keeps the ask simple: bring a mat, move through a dog-friendly flow, and stay afterward for light bites and beverages.

The West LA address tied to Wags & Walks listings is 2236 Federal Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90064, putting the class right inside the rescue’s adoption space rather than in a separate studio. That setup makes the morning feel built for a mixed crowd: regular yogis, rescue supporters, and people who want time around dogs without the commitment of a full adoption decision. The two class times also split the room into smaller groups, which is the kind of detail that tends to make doga easier for dogs that are calm around strangers, other pups and a little studio-style social energy.

Wags & Walks has used the Yoga to the Rescue name before, including an August 28 puppy yoga listing at the same West LA center that also offered two sessions, 8 to 9 a.m. and 9 to 10 a.m., plus light bites, Ohza mimosas and Reggie beverages. The organization has also promoted Family Puppy Yoga with Empowered Yoga, including a June 1 event that set tickets at $35 per adult and $15 per child through age 10 and said 100% of sign-ups support dogs in need. That pricing and class structure show the rescue has made dog yoga into a repeatable fundraising format, not a one-off novelty.

The broader Wags & Walks calendar points the same way. Its Los Angeles events page says participating in events is a fun way to help its pups and describes the organization as part of a dog-loving community that shares the same passion for saving dogs. Similar yoga and pilates events have also appeared on its Nashville and New York calendars, with the Nashville adoption center at 100 Bonnabrook Drive serving as another hub for adoptable-pup programming.

For West LA readers who have been dog-curious but have not tried it yet, the appeal is the low-pressure mix of a one-hour class, a rescue setting and a social finish. The split start times and the light-bites setup make Yoga to the Rescue look less like a serious fitness test and more like an easy morning built around the dogs already waiting at the center.
