Yoga is a powerful practice that promotes relaxation, mindfulness, and stress relief while improving physical fitness by building strength and flexibility. The Stroy from the 78 lands at a yoga studio in Bucktown. It offers a unique twist on this timeless wellness staple by combining it with the joy of connecting with animals. That is Pawsitive Wellness.

Interacting with animals has been shown to boost happiness and emotional well-being in humans, while the affection they receive supports their emotional health. This creates a heartwarming and mutually beneficial experience for everyone involved.

These classes also provide valuable socialization opportunities for animals. In a calm, supportive environment, they gain confidence by encountering new people, sights, sounds, and smells. The playful interactions not only foster connection but also serve as a healthy outlet for their energy.

So why not elevate your yoga practice and strengthen the bond with your furry friend? Grab your favorite pup and head to the studio for a truly uplifting experience!
