Puppy Yoga: Don’t have a date for Valentine’s Day? Don’t worry! Spend the evening unwinding with new friends at Puppy Yoga to benefit the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland. Classes will be held on Thursday, February 14 and Friday, February 15, 2019 from 5:30 to 6:30 PM at ARLGP (217 Landing Road, Westbrook, ME) and will be taught by Honor Movement Studio. Tickets are $25 and must be purchased in advance because space is limited and this event always sells out quickly. They also caution, “this class is likely to be messy, and a bit stinky.” Sorry dogs, no pets allowed. This event features puppies currently available at ARLGP.

A Board Certified Hypnotherapist and Instructor, author, and international speaker, Dan has devoted more than half his life to hypnosis and has performed all around the world. There will also be hors d’oeuvres, baked goods, candy and a cash bar available. Sorry pups, no dogs allowed, but makes a great gift for your humans. If purchased in advance tickets are $40 for a single and $70 for a pair. This event takes place from 7:00 to 10:00 PM at the Brookstone Park Events Center in Derry, NH.
