Practicing yoga with puppies in Bristol
Yoga is known to have great benefits for our physical and mental health, but what if puppies are also thrown into the mix?
Lucy Coxon, who lives in Bedminster, was inspired by a class she attended in London. She then launched her puppy play and stretch classes in Bristol – six days after coming up with the idea to set up her own classes.
The 24-year-old talked on Bristol24/7’s Behind the Headlines podcast about the logistics of launching her own business and how she sources puppies ethically.

Lucy also spoke about her dream of incorporating an adoption system into her classes by using rescue puppies to help them find forever homes.
