You’ve probably seen the adorable videos—yoga mats, downward dogs, and real puppies bouncing around the studio. Puppy yoga is more than just a viral trend; it’s a playful, wellness-forward practice that combines gentle movement with the emotional joy of being surrounded by puppies. At Revive Fitness Studio in North Canton, OH, we love helping our clients understand the healing power of yoga—especially when it involves animals. While we currently offer cat yoga at our studio, we’re excited to share the benefits and insights that make puppy yoga such a popular and heartwarming practice around the world.
While we don’t currently host puppy yoga, Revive Fitness Studio does offer cat yoga classes—a calming and cozy experience where adoptable cats roam freely while students move through gentle, breath-based flows. Led by certified instructor Seara Mook, our cat yoga sessions are perfect for anyone seeking a lighthearted but grounded way to release tension, reconnect with joy, and experience the healing presence of animals in a safe and peaceful space.
“I came for the yoga but stayed for the soft paws and purrs. There’s something healing about sharing a pose with a cat curled up nearby—it quiets the mind in a way nothing else can.”
— Cat Yoga participant at Revive Fitness Studio
Even with playful pups or curious cats around, the heart of the practice remains the same—gentle, mindful movement paired with intentional breath. The true purpose of yoga is to increase circulation, support healthy oxygen flow, and calm the nervous system. At Revive Fitness Studio, we honor this philosophy in every class, especially through our cat yoga offerings. Under Seara Mook’s guidance, students are encouraged to move slowly, breathe deeply, and find joy in presence—not perfection. Whether guided by a wagging tail or a soft purr, the experience is about tuning into your body and letting go of stress in the most natural way possible.

While we don’t currently offer puppy yoga classes, our cat yoga program captures the same spirit—calm, connection, and community. Seara Mook leads each session with care and intention, helping participants experience the grounding effects of movement, breath, and furry friends—all right here in North Canton, OH.
