Alexis Miller, owner of Cisco Pilates in Asheville, NC, discovered a great new way to up the fun factor of her mat classes: inviting furry friends from the local humane society to join her human students.
IF GOATS CAN DO YOGA (AS THEY HAVE EVERYWHERE FROM CALIFORNIA TO NEW HAMPSHIRE), WHY CAN’T PUPPIES DO PILATES ?
That was the question Alexis Miller, owner of Cisco Pilates in Asheville, NC, asked herself when she spotted the Asheville Humane Society (AHS) booth at a local 5K race this past June. All of a sudden…lightning bolt! “I thought, Everyone is doing yoga with goats, cats, horses. I decided I needed more puppies in my life, and that I should do [a class called] Pilates with Puppies!”
She contacted Adam Cotton at the AHS and proposed teaching a mat class, with the entire $10 fee being donated to the organization. Cotton was immediately on board. “He said he had just gotten a local yoga teacher to do their first Yoga with Cats class, so he was excited about Pilates with Puppies.” Miller recalls.
