Yoga + Pups Brought the Pack Together for Our Heroes

Some classes ask for focus. This one asked for a towel — because at any moment, a wet nose could land on your mat.

Yoga + Pups took over the studio on Tuesday, and it was exactly what it sounds like: Baptiste Power Yoga, plus a room full of therapy dogs doing what they do best — being fully, joyfully present.

Yoga, But With Better Partners

Haley Smith led the flow while the Paw Platoon pups worked the room. These aren't just cute dogs. They're trained canine companions providing emotional support, PTSD assistance, and dedicated service to our local first responders. Between poses, they delivered something else: pure, unfiltered joy. Down dog hits different when an actual dog demonstrates it beside you.

Every Dollar to the Heroes

Here's the part that matters most: 100% of proceeds went directly to Hearts 4 Heroes USA — the same mission powering October's Spotted Hearts Challenge. Every ticket, every mat, every wagging tail pointed at one thing: backing the first responders who show up for this community every day.

Missed it? The mission runs all month. The Spotted Hearts Challenge goes through Oct 31 — check in, move daily, and every dollar lands with Hearts 4 Heroes USA.

Four legs. Full hearts. Zero regrets.

Move Bold. Live Spotted.

Keep the mission moving. Join the Spotted Hearts Challenge this October — a $10 minimum donation, and every class supports Hearts 4 Heroes USA. Then book your next class and bring the whole pack with you.
