Dog Yoga Class Builds Calm, Connection in Los Angeles Community

On December 27, Pawsible hosted a holiday session of Yoga With Your Pet at its studio at 555 N Broadway in Los Angeles. The 9:00 AM Pacific time class, led by certified instructor Monique Mary, followed the same gentle format offered on December 14 and 21 and focused on low impact movement, breath work and companionable time with dogs in a calm group setting.

The session opened with a clear invitation to participants. "Join us for Yoga With Your Pet at Pawsible, a gentle flow designed for you and your furry sidekick." The instructor guided a light sequence suitable for all experience levels while playing calming music and maintaining a peaceful setup. "You move, stretch, reset. Your pup socializes, relaxes, and soaks up the energy of the room." Dogs were given room to relax or to explore gently, and premium training treats were provided by the studio for dogs that needed an extra incentive.

For dog owners the practical value was immediate. The structure of the class made it accessible for people new to yoga and for dogs who may be tentative in group settings. Participants were advised to bring a personal yoga mat, water for both owner and dog, and any favorite snacks or a small blanket for a dog that prefers a comfort item. An optional treat pouch helped owners reward calm behavior during transitions.

Beyond individual wellness, the class served a clear community role. It provided a low barrier way to socialize dogs in a supervised environment, and it gave owners a shared activity that supports bonding and stress relief. The Meetup AI description captured the outcome succinctly by calling the event a pet friendly yoga class for dog owners that helps both leave calmer and more connected.

For those who attended, the session offered techniques to copy at home, a chance to meet other local owners, and a reminder that simple, regular practices can improve both canine and human wellbeing.
