Down Dog was an idea that manifested over time after moving to Asheville. We fell in love with the city, the people, and the beer drinking, dog loving culture that surrounded us. Both owning very large and lovable doodles, we were always looking for places to bring them where we could all unleash and unwind. After experiencing dog bar concepts in other cities, we knew Asheville needed this kind of environment. We dreamt of a familiar and friendly space where your dog is a regular too. The yoga component came a little later when we started practicing regularly and eventually became RYT certified (Sophie’s the teacher, Madelyn’s the motivator). Experiencing Asheville’s robust but very traditional yoga scene, we saw an opportunity to do things a little differently. Our vision was a community studio where you are reminded of your power, and leave with everything you didn’t know you needed. In August of 2019, we decided to take a leap of faith and bring our vision and passions to life. Our mission has always been to cultivate a community dedicated to the health and well-being of both humans and four-legged creatures, providing opportunities to socialize, play, and exercise in an inviting and creative space. Let it be very clear that we recognize, support, and stand with BIPOC and the LGTBQIA+ community. We believe in basic human rights, kindness, and decency. Down Dog is an inclusive and judgement-free space for anyone seeking community and connection. Come explore, find what you need, and stay awhile. We’re excited to unleash & unwind with you. – Sophie & Madelyn
