Looking for a unique way to beat the winter blues? Toronto's wellness scene is about to get a whole lot cuter with Puppysphere's new pop-up series in collaboration with Tricon Residential. This six-week event combines the calming benefits of yoga with everyone's favourite stress-reliever: puppies!
A New Breed of Wellness Experience
Forget everything you know about traditional yoga classes. Puppysphere has created an experience that brings together mindfulness, movement, and pure joy in three distinctly themed locations across Toronto. Each venue, provided by premium rental housing provider Tricon Residential, offers a unique atmosphere while maintaining the core elements that make this experience special: 45 minutes of puppy-enhanced yoga followed by 30 minutes of dedicated puppy cuddle time, all accompanied by bottomless bubbly.
Three Unique Experiences to Choose From
Cozy Château at The Selby
Transport yourself to the French Alps without leaving downtown Toronto. Located near Yonge and Bloor, this rustic-yet-elegant setting features a crackling fireplace that sets the perfect atmosphere for your practice. As you flow through poses with playful pups around you, you'll feel like you've escaped to a luxury mountain retreat. Running November 2-3 and 9-10, this $60 experience offers the perfect blend of cozy comfort and wellness.
Winter Villa at Canary Landing
Channel your inner reality TV star at this Instagram-worthy location near the Distillery District. Running November 16-17 and 23-24, the Winter Villa experience transforms Maple House into a luxe oasis flooded with natural light. At $60 per person, you'll not only get your yoga fix but also capture social media-worthy moments with the cutest puppies. The stunning backdrops make every angle picture-perfect, ensuring your wellness journey is both beneficial and beautifully documented.
Downtown Detox at The Taylor
For those seeking the ultimate wellness experience, Downtown Detox offers an elevated approach to puppy yoga. Located at King & Spadina, this intimate setting (maximum 16 guests per session) combines yoga with a luxury spa experience. Running November 30-December 1 and December 7-8, this $70 package includes everything from the standard experience plus a rejuvenating sauna session and refreshing cold eucalyptus hand towels. It's the perfect urban retreat for those looking to end their year on a peaceful note.
What to Expect & How to Prepare
Each session is thoughtfully designed to be accessible and enjoyable for everyone 18 and up (16+ with adult supervision). While yoga mats and adorable puppies are provided, participants should bring:
Comfortable clothing
Water bottle
For Downtown Detox participants: towel, slippers, and bathing suit for the sauna experience
More Than Just a Trend
This innovative collaboration between Puppysphere and Tricon Residential represents a fresh approach to urban wellness. By combining the proven benefits of yoga with the joy of puppy interaction, they've created an experience that addresses both physical and mental well-being. The addition of Tricon's upscale venues elevates the experience from a simple yoga class to a true wellness retreat.
Making Wellness Fun Again
What sets this pop-up apart is its ability to make wellness accessible and enjoyable. Whether you're an experienced yogi or someone who just wants to spend time with puppies (yes, you can opt to simply sit on your mat and cuddle), there's something for everyone. The bottomless bubbly adds a touch of luxury to the experience, making it perfect for solo self-care, date nights, or group outings.
Book Your Escape
With limited spots available at each venue, particularly at the intimate Downtown Detox sessions, early booking is recommended. Whether you choose the cozy charm of The Selby, the photogenic Winter Villa at Canary Landing, or the full wellness experience at The Taylor, you're guaranteed a unique and memorable experience that combines the best of yoga, puppy therapy, and urban luxury.
This winter, don't just survive the cold months – thrive in them with this innovative approach to wellness that proves everything is better with puppies. After all, who can resist the combination of downward dog with actual dogs?
