Paws & Flow | Gentle Puppy Yoga, Spiced Cider & Tasty Treats

About this Event
Sunday self-care hits different with playful puppies roaming your yoga mat.
Take a pause from the busy fall routine and settle into an afternoon of pure joy. Parkside Pets is partnering with Rebarkable Retreat to host an intimate, 90-minute private Puppy Yoga & Cuddle Session on Sunday, November 1, 2026 (12:00 PM – 1:30 PM).
Whether you’re a seasoned yogi, brand new to the mat, or simply looking for the ultimate puppy cuddle fix (no judgment 😉), this session blends accessible movement with supervised puppy snuggles, warm seasonal drinks, and premium Canadian treats.
✨ What Every Ticket Includes ($70+ Total Value)

🧘‍♀️ 45-Minute Guided Gentle Yoga: A relaxing, beginner-friendly flow led by an experienced yoga instructor, designed for all movement levels while playful pups wander and stretch alongside you.

🐾 15 Minutes of Dedicated Puppy Snuggles: Unhurried floor time after class to cuddle, take photos, and socialize with the visiting litter.

☕ Fall Spiced Cider & Refreshment Lounge: Warm spiced apple cider, cold sparkling waters, and sweet snacks to enjoy before and after class.

🎁 Your Choice of Event Perk ($25 Value): Take home a full-size artisan $25 Canadian Treat Box (curated with clean, single-ingredient meats and bakery cookies) — OR choose to donate your box directly to the Calgary Human Society!

🧘 Sanitized Studio Mats Available: Clean mats are provided on-site, though you are always welcome to bring your personal mat.

Don't have a dog or cat at home? You can still enjoy the full experience. At checkout, select how you would like your complimentary $25 perk directed:

Take-Home Dog Treat Box: 100% poultry-free, beef-free single-ingredient Canadian dehydrated meats, baked pumpkin biscuits, and a hand-decorated frosted cookie.

Take-Home Cat Treat Box: Single-ingredient Canadian dehydrated fish, salmon crisps, and a Chompurr silvervine pastry dental chew toy.

Donate to the Calgary Human Society: We will prepare a full-size treat box and present it directly to pets in need at the conclusion of class on your behalf!

🧘‍♀️ What to Bring

A Yoga Mat: Sanitized studio mats are available on-site, but feel free to bring your own if you prefer.

Comfortable Attire: Flexible athletic wear or cozy loungewear suitable for light stretching on the floor (ideally clothing you don't mind getting puppy hair on!).

A Water Bottle: Stay hydrated during practice (we’ll also have warm cider and drinks waiting for you).

An Open Heart: Come ready to laugh, unwind, and embrace spontaneous puppy snuggles.

🐶 Meet the Puppies & Welfare First

Wellbeing Above All: The visiting puppies are carefully chosen, vet-cleared, and closely supervised by the Rebarkable Retreat team throughout the entire event. Puppy welfare is our highest priority—regular water breaks, restful nap pauses, and gentle, respectful human interaction are always enforced.

Litter Availability: Puppy breed, age, and litter size depend on rescue and breeder availability on event day. No matter which playful pups join us, you can count on a heart-warming, joyful experience!

💛 Good to Know

The Perfect Outing: A wonderful afternoon for a solo self-care reset, a unique date, or an outing with friends and family.

Great for Gifting: Tickets can be purchased as an experiential gift for the animal lover in your life.

Age Recommendations: Suitable for participants aged 4 and up (all minors must be accompanied by a registered adult).

Intimate Capacity: Attendance is strictly capped at 28 participants to ensure a calm, spacious room with plenty of individual puppy interaction for everyone.

📋 Important House Rules & Arrival

Personal Pets Stay Cozy at Home: To protect the health and comfort of the young visiting puppies, attendee pets are not permitted at this session. Enjoy cuddles with our visiting pups, then take your gift box home to spoil your companion!

About Parkside Pets
Our goal is to create a space for both ends of the leash.
What does that even mean?
We think your pet might be better at making friends than you are. We should probably take advantage of that.
Somehow, having more ways to stay connected has left us with fewer places to actually get to know each other. Beyond dog parks, there aren’t many spaces where people and their companion animals can truly become regulars together. Pets already give us a reason to change that—they get us out of the house, introduce us to our neighbours, and make it surprisingly easy to talk to someone we might never have met otherwise.
Opening our flagship boutique in NW Calgary in early 2027, Parkside Pets is building an independent, tech-forward pet supply shopping experience and community hub that believes pets deserve to participate, not just tag along. We're making room for that to happen through:

Thoughtfully Curated Pet Supplies: Uncompromising, clean-label Canadian-first nutrition that takes the guesswork out of ingredient labels, alongside high-quality accessories built for Canadian families.
Shared Experiences & Keepsakes: An interactive dry treat bar and creative community workshops where you and your pet make lasting memories together.
Convenience That Gives You More Life: Flexible, round-the-clock pickup options designed around real routines, because life doesn’t just happen between nine and five.

Whether you're stopping by our workshops to craft a keepsake, going on a supply run, or just saying hello, we’re creating a space where you and your pet always feel at home.
