Gina Porrazzo

Welcome to another day of Barks & Businesses! Today, we’re excited to spotlight Cielito Yoga, a local studio dedicated not only to community wellness but also to supporting our shelter initiatives.

Let’s dive into how Cielito Yoga combines fitness with compassion to help make a difference for shelter dogs! 🐾Today, we’re excited to feature Cielito Yoga! Known for their inclusive, family-friendly yoga classes, Cielito Yoga also believes in supporting community causes. Let’s dive in and learn more about how Cielito Yoga brings wellness and compassion together to make a difference for shelter dogs.

1. Business Overview

Tell us about your business!

Cielito Yoga is a warm and welcoming yoga studio that offers a range of yoga classes designed for parents, children, and individuals seeking a serene space for their practice. Our studio is unique in that we embrace a parent-welcoming and child-friendly environment, ensuring that parents can continue their fitness journey without feeling the need to leave their children behind. While we are inclusive and family-oriented, we also offer traditional, child-free yoga classes for those who prefer a quieter space to focus on their practice. Our goal is to create a community that honors cultural diversity, with a special emphasis on Mexican heritage, and to provide a supportive and respectful environment where everyone can enjoy the benefits of yoga.

What products or services do you offer?

We offer a variety of yoga classes tailored to different needs and preferences. Our classes range from beginner to advanced levels, and we provide specialized sessions for parents with young children, allowing them to practice yoga without worrying about childcare. We also offer traditional yoga classes that are child-free, giving participants the opportunity to focus deeply on their practice. The benefits of our classes include improved flexibility, strength, mental clarity, stress relief, and a stronger connection to oneself and the community.

2. Personal Connection

Do you have pets yourself? Tell us about them!

Yes, I do have pets! I have 3 dogs. I have an English Bulldog named Hank, and King Charles named Lucy, and the newest member of our family is a German Shepherd mix named Chase! Who is a rescue! Chase was a great mother to 15 puppies who were also adopted out to loving homes. We visited the Jacksonville humane society and found our sweet girl timid, shy and quiet but was brave enough to approach us to say "Hi". She is our family's soul dog. All three dogs bring joy and personality to our daily lives.

3. Doggy Day Out Sponsorship

Cielito Yoga proudly sponsors Doggy Day Out, a unique experience that lets our members bring their furry friends along for outdoor yoga. It’s a great opportunity for shelter dogs and potential adopters to bond, enjoy the outdoors, and support shelter pets in need. 

4. Promotions & Opportunities

Are there any current promotions or special opportunities at your business that you’d like our readers to know about?

We’re excited to offer discounts for military members, first responders, and children’s packages as a token of our appreciation for their service and dedication. We believe in making yoga accessible to everyone, and these discounts help support that mission.

How can our community best support your business while also supporting the shelter?

As Cielito Yoga continues to grow and become more established, we have plans to give back to our community by donating to local organizations, with pet rescues and shelters being high on our radar. The best way to support us is by attending our yoga classes and helping us build a strong, supportive community. Every class you attend not only helps sustain a local business that values cultural diversity and family-friendly spaces, but it also brings us closer to the point where we can begin making contributions to causes that matter, like supporting the wellbeing of shelter pets. By practicing yoga with us, you’re directly contributing to our future efforts in giving back to the community.
