Introducing Pets of Jiaren: One Community Pet, One Special Yoga Experience
- 1 day ago
- 2 min read
At Jiaren Yoga Studio, we have always believed that wellness is about more than movement. It is also about joy, connection, and the relationships that make our community feel like home.
That belief inspired our new series: Pets of Jiaren.
Each special class will feature one friendly pet from the Jiaren community. Rather than inviting everyone to bring their animals at the same time, we will introduce one featured dog during each event. This allows students to enjoy the comfort and happiness of practicing near an animal while keeping the class peaceful, organized, and focused on yoga.
We hope to offer more Pets of Jiaren classes in the future, with a different community dog joining us each time.
Meet Our First Featured Pet: Otto
We are excited to welcome Otto as the first four-legged co-teacher in our Pets of Jiaren series!
Otto will join us for a gentle, 60-minute yoga class designed for beginners and experienced students alike. While students breathe, stretch, and move mindfully, Otto may wander between the mats, greet participants, or settle nearby during relaxation.
Yoga will remain the heart of the class—Otto will simply make the experience a little more joyful.
After the practice, students will also have an opportunity to stay for photos with him.

Yoga, Mindfulness and Community Connection
Animals have a wonderful way of helping us slow down and become present. Their natural curiosity and calm companionship can remind us to relax, smile, and enjoy the moment.
The Pets of Jiaren series brings together several things we value deeply:
Gentle, accessible movement
Mindfulness and relaxation
Meaningful community connections
The simple joy that animals bring into our lives
Every featured pet will be selected in advance from within our community. The pet’s human will remain present throughout the event to help ensure a comfortable experience for the animal and everyone attending.
Our First Yoga With Otto Class
Saturday, August 222:00–3:00 PMJiaren Yoga Studio1171 Homestead Road, Suite 140Santa Clara, California
This beginner-friendly class is open to all experience levels. No previous yoga experience is required.
One Featured Pet at a Time
Please note that this is not a bring-your-own-pet yoga class. Otto will be the only featured pet at this event, so we kindly ask students to leave their own pets at home.
Featuring one pet at a time helps us maintain a safe and relaxed environment. It also gives each community pet a special opportunity to be introduced and celebrated.
If you have allergies, sensitivities, or concerns about practicing near a dog, please contact us before booking.
Would Your Dog Like to Be Featured?
We hope Yoga with Otto will be the beginning of many future Pets of Jiaren events.
If you are part of the Jiaren community and have a calm, friendly dog who may enjoy being featured in a future class, we would love to hear from you. Each pet will be considered individually based on temperament, comfort around people, and suitability for the studio environment.
Join us as we build a new kind of yoga tradition—one breath, one class, and one beloved community pet at a time.
Spots for Yoga with Otto are limited, so reserve your place early!
