In a world where stress and anxiety have become prevalent, the search for holistic well-being has led people to explore unconventional avenues for relaxation. Like Pawga! Short for pet yoga, which combines the benefits of yoga with the therapeutic companionship of sheltered pets. The groundbreaking concept not only promotes physical and mental well-being but also advocates for the adoption of animals from shelters.
Started by Subhashree Madhavan, Sinduja Krishnakumar, and Swathi Renugopal, Pawga offers a one-of-a-kind yoga experience where participants can immerse themselves in the tranquil and loving presence of sheltered pets while engaging in various yoga poses. The yoga sessions take place in a serene setting, allowing participants to connect with the animals and experience the therapeutic benefits of the human-animal bond. The instructors will guide you through various asanas, pranayama, and meditation, encouraging a mindful and compassionate connection with the pets. Whether it's downward-facing dogs with playful puppies or seated poses surrounded by serene cats, Pawga provides a unique and heartwarming yoga experience like no other.
Happening every month at different venues selected by the team, Pawga calls you for an hour-long yoga session surrounded by adorable puppies. If you fall in love with one of the doggos, you can also adopt them and take them to their forever home. It's alright if you can't adopt any of the fur babies. All the money collected from ticket sales is used to support these fur babies until they can find a forever home.
They also host other workshops like Pottery Painting with Puppies, where you can potter, paint, and play with rescued puppies over an afternoon.
