In a joyful celebration of International Yoga Day 2025, The Den Bengaluru, a 5-star luxury hotel known for its creative and community-driven initiatives, hosted a Puppy Yoga session in collaboration with Pawga—India’s first puppy yoga experience. Held on Saturday, June 21st at 11 AM on the hotel’s serene rooftop terrace, the event was a heartfelt blend of wellness and social impact.

More than just a yoga class, the initiative reflected The Den’s commitment to community welfare and social responsibility. A portion of the proceeds from the event was donated to Charlie’s Animal Rescue Centre (CARE), a Bengaluru-based shelter that supports abandoned and rescued animals. What made the session even more special was that all the puppies participating in the session were up for adoption, giving them a chance to socialize and connect with potential pet parents in a relaxed setting.

Led by a professional instructor, the beginner-friendly one-hour session allowed guests to unwind, de-stress, and connect with themselves—while being surrounded by playful puppies. The interaction not only brought joy to the participants but also helped the young pups from the shelter become more social and emotionally responsive, improving their chances of finding forever homes.

The Den Bengaluru also served refreshing healthy juices and bites, further enriching the wellness experience and showcasing its signature hospitality.

This thoughtful collaboration stands as a meaningful example of pet-friendly luxury and socially conscious hospitality. By raising awareness for shelter pets and supporting adoption efforts, The Den continues to create impactful experiences that go beyond the usual, fostering deeper connections within the community.

With events like these, The Den Bengaluru positions itself not just as a luxury destination, but as a compassionate, community-driven space where well-being and kindness go hand in hand.
