Why Practicing Yoga with Animals at Breathe 2 Flow is an Experience Like No Other
Imagine unrolling your mat under the sun, taking a deep breath in… then feeling a gentle nudge from a curious piglet or bunny hopping by your side. At Breathe 2 Flow, our animal yoga classes create unforgettable experiences that go far beyond a typical yoga session.
1. Connection with Nature and Animals
Practicing yoga alongside animals connects you deeply with nature, bringing joy and laughter to your day. Whether it’s pig yoga, bunny yoga, or other animal classes, the playful energy animals bring into class grounds you into the moment. Offering our signature classes at various locations throughout Connecticut, Breathe 2 Flow brings the animals to a local studio near you.
2. Boosts Mood and Reduces Stress
An animal class allows you to feel present, safe, and love, while moving through your yoga practice. In fact, interacting with animals releases oxytocin, the ‘love hormone,’ which reduces stress and uplifts your mood. Combining this with the calming effects of yoga creates a powerful mental wellness experience.
3. Supports Local Animal Rescues
Our animal yoga classes partner with local rescues in Connecticut. Your ticket directly supports animal care, rescue initiatives, and ethical treatment so that you can give back while you care for yourself. Your interaction with the rescue animals allows the animals to form connections at a crucial time in their lives. Interacting with the animals’ benefits both parties in a universal environment.
4. Builds Community Through Shared Joy
Animal yoga classes create instant smiles, laughter, and connection. It’s hard not to bond with your neighbors when a piglet walks across your mat or a bunny hops onto your lap during meditation. You might share a laugh or a photo with someone new building community and friendship.
5. Makes Yoga Accessible and Fun
If you’ve ever felt intimidated to try yoga in a traditional studio we invite you to try out an animal class in our welcoming, playful environment. Many attendees say they forget their worries, insecurities, or stress because the animals bring pure, judgment-free love into the practice. These classes are created to allow time for you to explore, connect, and move with intention. Imagine sharing upward facing dog with a dog!
At Breathe 2 Flow, we believe yoga should be a source of joy, healing, and community. Our animal yoga classes with pigs, bunnies, and other loving creatures are more than classes – they’re experiences that stay in your heart long after your mat is rolled up.
