How it all started

In early June 2017, I was at an event where the Asheville Humane Society had a bunch of puppies available for adoption. I asked to hold a puppy, and at that moment decided that I needed more puppies in my life.

I thought…there’s Yoga with Cats, Yoga with Goats, Yoga with Horses....I want to do Pilates with Puppies! I contacted the Asheville Humane Society and we scheduled our first class for October 2017. For $20-25, participants take a beginner friendly Pilates class, and AHS supplies the puppies. 100% of tickets sales are donated to AHS.

We will continue this awesome fundraiser class whenever we can secure puppies and the space at AHS.

I would love for Pilates with Puppies to become a class taught all over the world. My hope is that wherever it is taught, that $ will go back to the local animal shelter to help animals find forever homes.
