Montreal is about to experience a delightful fusion of wellness and cuteness as Puppysphere, North America’s leading puppy yoga & bubbly company, prepares to open its doors in the heart of the city. This unique fitness trend, which has been taking North America by storm, combines the calming practice of yoga with the unbridled joy of puppy interaction. As Puppysphere expands to Quebec, Montrealers can look forward to a one-of-a-kind experience that promises not just physical exercise, but also a hefty dose of stress relief, laughter, and puppy love. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a complete novice, a dog lover or simply in need of a mood boost, Puppysphere's arrival in Montreal offers something for everyone. Get ready to downward dog alongside some adorable puppies!

Puppysphere offers yoga classes where participants practice alongside adorable puppies, creating a unique blend of fitness and animal therapy. Francesca Albo, the 27-year-old dog lover who co-founded Puppysphere, believes in the therapeutic power of spending time with puppies. "They give you a burst of joy and love, and they actually boost both serotonin and dopamine, which are just so good for your system," Albo has stated in previous interviews.

Since its inception, Puppysphere has introduced over 100,000 people to puppy-centric yoga and events. The company's popularity has soared, with attendees consistently praising the unique and uplifting experience. This rapid growth is a testament to the appeal of combining wellness practices with the unconditional love of puppies.

Puppysphere is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its Montreal location at 112 Rue McGill #3A. The launch weekend is scheduled for September 21st and 22nd, promising an unforgettable introduction to puppy yoga for Montrealers.

This wellness experience includes a relaxing yoga class and is topped off with refreshing mimosas - it doesn't get better than this. Having hosted over 100,000 attendees since September '21, you can trust that you and your group are in good hands.

Each ticket for the Montreal experience includes:

• 45-Minute Flow Yoga Session

• 30-Minute Puppy Chill Time

• Complimentary bubbly drinks

For the launch weekend, classes will be held in English to accommodate a diverse audience. However, Puppysphere plans to introduce bilingual and French-language classes in the near future to cater to Montreal's multicultural population.

What sets Puppysphere apart from traditional yoga studios is its innovative approach to wellness. By combining the calming practice of yoga with the joy of interacting with puppies, Puppysphere creates an environment that nurtures both physical and emotional well-being.

The 45-minute flow yoga session is designed to be accessible to practitioners of all levels. Instructors guide participants through gentle stretches and poses, with the added delight of puppies freely roaming the studio. This unique setting often leads to spontaneous moments of joy and laughter, adding an element of fun to the workout.

Following the yoga session, attendees enjoy 30 minutes of dedicated "Puppy Chill Time." This period allows for more direct interaction with the puppies, offering a chance to play, cuddle, and simply enjoy their company. It's during this time that many participants find themselves completely relaxed and stress-free, experiencing the full therapeutic benefits of the Puppysphere concept.

The experience concludes with complimentary bubbly drinks, providing a perfect opportunity to socialise with other attendees and reflect on the unique experience.

Puppysphere emphasizes that the wellbeing of the puppies is equally important as that of the class attendees. Puppies are sourced from vetted breeders and rescues, and are closely monitored during events. The focus is on socializing the puppies to help them grow into well-behaved, confident adult dogs.

"With gentle handling and exposure to plenty of new people and activities, it helps puppies build confidence and grow into happy adult dogs," the company's website explains. "Our experiences are a win/win, where the pups gain confidence socialising, and the humans get a lasting endorphin boost from all the puppy love."

The company takes great care to ensure that the puppies are not overwhelmed or overworked. Regular breaks, health check-ups, and a strict hygiene protocol are all part of Puppysphere's commitment to puppy welfare.

While puppy yoga might seem like just a fun trend, there's actually scientific backing to the benefits of interacting with animals. Numerous studies have shown that spending time with animals can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and increase feelings of social support and well-being.

Research in the field of animal-assisted therapy has demonstrated that interacting with animals can trigger the release of oxytocin, often called the 'love hormone,' which promotes bonding and reduces stress. This hormone is associated with feelings of relaxation, trust, and psychological stability.

Moreover, the combination of yoga and puppy interaction provides a unique synergy. Yoga is known for its ability to reduce stress, improve flexibility, and enhance mindfulness. When coupled with the mood-boosting effects of puppy interaction, the result is a holistic wellness experience that addresses both physical and mental health.

For those new to puppy yoga, Puppysphere offers some tips to make the most of your experience:

• Wear comfortable, puppy-friendly clothing

• Bring a water bottle (preferably not glass)

• Be prepared for some puppy-induced distractions during your practice

• Don't worry about your yoga skill level – the focus is on fun and relaxation

• Arrive 10 minutes early to choose a mat and settle in before class begins

• Check your pre-event email for any additional instructions

Remember, the goal is to have fun and relax. If you find yourself spending more time petting puppies than perfecting your downward dog, that's perfectly okay!

With the expansion into Montreal, Puppysphere continues its growth trajectory. The company has hinted at plans to open studios in LA and other Texas cities in the coming months.

Puppysphere is also exploring ways to diversify its offerings. While puppy yoga remains the core concept, the company is considering introducing variations such as puppy meditation sessions, candlelit puppy yoga and kitty yoga.

As Puppysphere prepares to open its doors at 112 Rue McGill #3A in Montreal on September 21st and 22nd, it's clear that this isn't just another fitness trend. By combining the benefits of yoga with the joy of interacting with puppies and the relaxation of a mimosa, Puppysphere offers a unique experience that caters to both physical and emotional well-being.

Whether you're a yoga enthusiast, an animal lover, or simply someone looking for a new and exciting way to stay active and de-stress, Puppysphere's arrival in Montreal promises to add a dose of furry fun to the city's wellness scene. Mark your calendars for the launch weekend, and get ready to experience the joy of downward dog poses with some adorable pups in Montreal!
