Los Angeles Yoga Class Interrupted By Pup Who Spots Himself In The Mirror
Recently, something hilarious unfolded during a puppy yoga class. And if you’ve never experienced puppy yoga before, you’re in for a treat.
Picture a calm yoga session, mats lined up, and everyone ready to stretch. Now add in a group of wiggly, playful puppies running around, climbing onto mats, and stealing the spotlight.
That’s the magic of Muskoka Puppy Yoga — combining gentle stretches with the joyful chaos and calming presence 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 bouncy little pup locked eyes with his “mirror twin” and was instantly convinced he’d found a brand-new playmate.
With all the confidence in the world, he launched himself forward, eager to make friends.
He leapt. He slipped. He tumbled. And then he popped right back up, throwing himself at the glass again and again, determined to win over that mysterious “other puppy” who seemed to copy 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 quickly took off on Instagram, racking up more than a million likes and over 11 million views. People couldn’t get enough of the pup’s hilarious battle with his reflection.
Comments poured in, cheering on the little fluffball and laughing about how impossible it would be to focus on yoga with so much cuteness stealing the spotlight. As one viewer joked:
“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.
Many people arrive at class carrying stress, anxiety, or even grief. But something shifts the moment a puppy curls up in their lap mid-stretch or nudges their hand during a pose — suddenly, the weight feels lighter.
And it isn’t only the people who benefit. These sessions give young puppies a safe, welcoming space to explore, meet new friends, and build confidence.
It’s like a playdate with purpose — a chance for both humans and pups to connect, grow, and leave feeling just a little brighter.
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.
