Yoga with a purpose
Changing lives on both ends of the leash.
Shelters bring adoptable dogs into a calm, welcoming space where they build confidence and practice the social skills they need to thrive in a home. You get an hour to slow down, breathe — and maybe meet your new best friend.
100%
Shelter & rescue pups
We partner only with local shelters and rescues. Never breeders, never puppy mills.
~20%
Of rescued dogs get returned
Often for behavior or lack of socialization. Every class is real-world practice with people.
Every
Ticket gives back
A portion of every ticket goes to the shelter partner — funding food, medical care, and daily operations.
How a class works
Three poses. Zero experience.
One hour, all levels, built around relaxation — not performance. The puppies set the pace.
Flow, with interruptions.
A gentle flow while rescue pups roam, nap, and climb on whoever looks comfiest. Expect to laugh mid-pose.
Meet your match.

Meet the founder
It started with two rescue dogs.
Dixie
Winnie
Sue's family dogs, Dixie and Winnie, arrived during pivotal moments in her life — and brought comfort, stability, and joy when it was needed most. They showed her how transformative a rescue connection can be.
In 2025 she founded NamaSitStay to build hands-on partnerships with local shelters: getting adoptable dogs seen, socialized, and loved, while giving people a pressure-free way to meet them.
“In a world where both shelters and mental health are under strain, NamaSitStay brings those two needs together.”
