Supporting Mental Health at Puppy Sphere: Your Ticket Gives Back

This May, communities across North America recognize Mental Health Awareness Month, and Puppy Sphere is joining in a way that feels true to our mission. We're excited to share that $1 from your puppy yoga ticket will go directly to the  National Alliance on Mental Illness  (NAMI). Your self-care practice will now support vital mental health resources that help millions of Americans.

Remember, your mental health matters – whether you're with us on the mat or finding peace in your own way. This month, we encourage everyone to be kind to their minds and support others on their wellness journeys too. When you join us for any puppy yoga class in May, you'll experience the joy of puppy therapy while contributing to NAMI's important work.

Mental health shapes every part of our lives. We believe mental wellness deserves the same care as physical health, which is why it's central to what we create here.

Nearly one in five U.S. adults lives with a mental illness. Despite how common these experiences are, many still face barriers to getting support.

Your ticket helps spark important conversations while providing real support to an organization making a difference. Together, we can extend the healing we see in our studios into communities everywhere.

NAMI is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization. Since 1979, they've worked to build better lives for millions affected by mental illness through education, support groups, and advocacy.

With nearly 600 local affiliates, NAMI reaches hundreds of thousands of families each year with free resources. Their advocacy has helped shape mental health policy at every level, ensuring that people's real experiences inform healthcare decisions.

Through this partnership, we hope to highlight how puppy therapy complements other mental wellness approaches while creating more open conversations about mental health resources.

At Puppy Sphere, we witness the transformative effects of puppy therapy daily. Our sessions offer much more than cute photo moments – they create space for genuine emotional restoration.

• Reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels in your body

• Increase feel-good neurotransmitters like serotonin and oxytocin

• Ground you in the present moment, creating natural mindfulness

• Provide gentle movement that honors both body and mind

• Create moments of pure joy and connection

If you'd like to experience puppy yoga while supporting NAMI's work,  visit our website  to join a May class. Your ticket will make a difference both for your wellbeing and for others seeking mental health support.

However you nurture your mental wellness this month, we're here for you.
