They told The Argus: "There isnt a person who isnt beaming with smiles after getting a dose of that magic chemistry between dogs and humans when they interact."

Brandon and Hayleysaid they wanted to base the business inBrighton as it is a "city of dog lovers" and the sessionsbenefitboth humans and dogs.

They said:"In this fast-paced and fast-moving time, its often easy to put spending time looking after the mind aside. But its absolutely necessary to do this.

"A puppy yoga session allows for mindful practice, a time when people can benefit from being very much in the present moment as opposed to being carried away by the hustle and bustle and rush of everyday life.

"Weve absolutely seen first hand that puppy yoga has enormous benefits for people and pups alike.

"It is a valuable experience for puppies to interact with people for the first time in a quiet, peaceful and tranquil environment. Puppies benefit from socialisation and the bonding experiences with new people.

"The puppies also thrive in this environment, where everything and everyone is new and exciting to them.

"They love seeing themselves in the mirrors for the first time, sprinting from yoga mat to yoga mat, and figuring out whether hair scrunchies that are still in peoples hair are toys meant for them.

"The puppies soak up the affection and love they get from everyone."

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH)

The City of Columbia, in collaboration with the Black Maternal Health Collective, recently announced a series of events for the inaugural Black Maternal Health Week. This initiative, aligned with the Black Mama's Matter Initiative, aims to raise awareness, promote activism, and foster community-building regarding Black maternal health issues in the United States.

One of the key events scheduled for Sunday, April 7, is "Yoga In the Park with Balloon Release." The session will take place at MLK Park, 2300 Greene Street, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Led by an instructor, this yoga session is dedicated to mothers and families impacted by losses due to maternal health inequities. It offers a peaceful environment for reflection and remembrance. Additionally, the event will feature a Balloon Release to honor those who have experienced loss and to foster community connections and mutual support.

At a press conference, officials highlighted the week's objectives, which include sparking conversations about Black maternal health, amplifying community-driven solutions, centering the voices of Black mothers and families, and providing a platform for Black-led efforts on maternal health and reproductive justice.

Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals concerning statistics about Black maternal health in the U.S. In 2021, the maternal mortality rate for non-Hispanic Black women stood at 69.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, which is 2.6 times higher than the rate for non-Hispanic White women. Moreover, Black women in the U.S. are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than White women. Alarmingly, CDC reports that over 80% of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable.

The Black Maternal Health Week events aim to shed light on these disparities and mobilize efforts towards improving maternal health outcomes for Black mothers and families.

HOWARD, Wis. (WFRV) At Bark & Brew in Howard, there are two types of downward-facing dogs; the four-legged and two-legged kinds as every six weeks, the brewery hosts dog yoga classes.

Owner Tara Brunette says, I know for me, its hard leaving home and not being able to bring my pup with me, and I think a lot of people feel the same way, so being able to come to an event where youre enjoying yourself but you dont have to leave the dog at home and the dog is enjoying themselves as well, it makes for a good Sunday morning.

Folks can bring their dog or just interact with others, but no matter what, there is fun in store for everyone.

Luann Champeau from Green Bay brought her dog Hannah along to the class and said, I loved the class. It was very nice. We got to interact with other people and dogs. Its a great time.

The brewery began hosting yoga classes when it opened one year ago, with instruction provided by A to Z Movement. Whether you want a little relaxation or just some doggy kisses, anyone can enjoy the fun event.

Howard native Nicole Tauscher brought her dog Herschel and said, I loved it. Im a very beginner yogi, so I thought it was easy enough to handle but it feels good afterward. What better to do if youre a dog person? Its so fun to be able to bring your dog and do activities.

In this episode, we delve into a profound verse from the Bhagavad Gita - Chapter 2, Verse 2.46. Here, Krishna teaches Arjuna the significance of self-knowledge over mere ritualistic practices. The verse uses a powerful metaphor comparing a small well to a vast reservoir.
