Yoga enthusiasts of all levels can join a class with their furry friends at Tri-County Animal Rescue's “Downdog with Dogs,” which will be held twice per month starting July 24.

This unique and fun opportunity to practice yoga while interacting with pups will be led by renowned teacher Naya Rappaport. Those who wish to participate but do not have a dog are invited to take the yoga class with one of the adoptable pets from Tri-County.   The one-hour class will be held the first and third Wednesday of every month at 8 a.m. at Tri-County Animal Rescue, 21287 Boca Rio Road, Boca Raton. 

Well behaved and socially friendly pets on non-retractable leashes are welcome. Owners must bring a copy of the pet’s current medical records in order to participate. Each session is $15 and is a 100% donation to Tri-County.

“This class will be therapeutic for both the humans and the dogs, and it will create a community of like-minded people who love animals,” said Ms. Rappaport.  “Participants will interact with their fur babies or adoptable dogs by massaging their paws, body, head and neck, while doing poses.”

Participants are asked to bring a yoga mat and water and can consider bringing a towel to donate to the shelter after class.
