Yoga Class Gets Hilariously Interrupted When Tiny Pup Sees Himself In The Mirror And Freaks Out
Recently, something absolutely hilarious happened at a puppy yoga class. And if you’ve never heard of puppy yoga before, you’re in for a treat.
Imagine a peaceful yoga session. Now, add a bunch of wiggly, happy puppies roaming around, climbing onto mats, and stealing hearts.
That’s exactly what Muskoka Puppy Yoga is all about: mixing some easy stretching with the joyful, calming magic of puppies.
So, it started like any other class, with music, mats, and stretching. But then, as if someone had pressed the “adorable overload” button, everything changed.
One tiny goldendoodle pup suddenly caught sight of something shiny in the corner. It wasn’t a toy, a treat, or even a human. Nope, it was his own reflection in a giant mirror.
And just like that, the yoga class turned into a one-dog show!
This playful little fluffball locked eyes with his mirror twin and was convinced he just made a brand new best friend.
With full puppy confidence, he pounced forward, ready to play.
He jumped. He slipped. He rolled. And he got right back up, throwing himself at the mirror again and again, determined to win over that “other puppy” who kept copying his every move.
The yoga instructor tried to keep the class going, but nobody was paying attention anymore. All eyes were on this goofy little pup throwing himself a party.
It didn’t take long before the class cracked up, as the instructor, Erin Gorrie, shared in an interview:
“It was one of those perfect, unfiltered moments that captured the joy we feel in every session, the kind of spontaneous, heart-lifting energy that happens when people and puppies come together in the most genuine way.”
The video, shared on Instagram, exploded with likes and views. Over a million people clicked that heart button, and more than 11 million watched the pup’s hilarious mirror moment.
Comments poured in, with people cheering on the little guy and joking about how impossible it was to focus on yoga with that much cuteness stealing the show, as one person said:
“I kind of feel sorry for the instructor. There’s no way I’m not watching that dog.”
The dogs that come to these classes are from ethical, loving breeders who care deeply about their wellbeing.
It’s a cozy, feel-good environment where people can stretch, breathe, and let go of life’s heavy stuff while surrounded by wagging tails and soft puppy snores.
Behind it all is Gorrie, who once worked as a police officer but now spends her days creating something way sweeter. She started these classes to make people smile and help them heal.
So many folks walk in carrying stress, anxiety, or even grief. But something happens when a puppy climbs into your lap mid-stretch or nuzzles your hand during a pose, and you feel lighter.
And it’s not just the humans who benefit. These classes give young puppies a safe space to explore, meet new people, and build confidence.
It’s like a puppy playdate with a purpose.
Of course, with that much cuteness trotting around, it’s no surprise that things don’t always go exactly as planned. Gorrie shared:
“It can definitely be hard to concentrate with puppies running around, but that’s kind of the point.”
And that silly little pup who made friends with his own reflection? He showed everyone in that room, and everyone online, that joy doesn’t have to come from big things.
Sometimes, it’s just a fluffy ball of fur playing with his mirror twin.
