Back-to-School Vibes or Finals Week Relief? We Say: Why Not Both?

Whether you're kicking off the school year with an exciting welcome event or winding down from a stressful semester, Canines on Campus fits the moment. Yoga with rescue dogs helps students:

  • Feel less anxious and more energized

  • Recharge their focus before heading back to class or hitting the books

  • Connect with community and take a break from academic pressure

It’s the kind of joyful, unexpected activity that becomes the talk of campus and one that students truly remember.

Science Says It Works

Studies show that just 15 minutes with a dog can lower stress levels, improve mood, and increase energy. Pair that with the grounding, breath-focused movement of yoga, and you've got a seriously powerful mental health tool.

Why Schools Love It

  • Flexible for any event: From orientation and club fairs to finals week and wellness days

  • Special pricing for schools and student groups

  • Customizable classes: We can host one session or an entire day of dog-filled yoga

  • Supports local rescues: Each event includes a donation to the on-site rescue

Plus, aligning your school with a heart-centered wellness initiative helps students, reflects your institution’s commitment to emotional well-being, and has serious community impact.
