Come celebrate the wonderful life of Betty White with us and Mountain Pet Rescue on January 17th on what would have been her 100th birthday!
As many of you know, Betty White LOVED animals and was an avid supporter of animal rights groups, humane societies, shelters, and more.
To commemorate the love Betty had for animals and to show our love for the one and only Betty, we have teamed up with Mountain Pet Rescue for a Betty White celebration of life.
Mountain Pet Rescue will bring adoptable animals to Down Dog, along with some of their merch!
We encourage humans and animals to dress up like Betty (if you’d like)! Best Betty costume will win a $25 Down Dog gift card and a Mountain Pet Shirt.
Join Amber and Luna in the lushness of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala!
January 16th-22, 2022
Join us for 6 days and nights as we wander into different experiences that will expand our state of relaxation, giving us more capacity to ignite the light of the soul!
This retreat is open to anyone who identifies as a woman.
This is a fundraiser for Asheville Community Yoga! A portion of your tuition will go towards helping Asheville Community Yoga sustain it’s mission of keeping yoga accessible for ALL!
Together we will AWAKEN LOVE…

- In the body through Somatic and Yogic practices to regulate the nervous system
- In the mind through reflective practices and Dharma talks
- With community through ceremony, singing and sharing, and
- With the Earth through grounding practices, rituals and exploring nature and the indigenous ways of the local people

Touch down at Down Dog to experience Asheville’s very own Puppy Bowl! Much like the real thing on Animal Planet, adoptable puppies will take the field to not only score touchdowns, but also score the hearts of their forever families.
We are suggesting a $5 donation to attend and hope you will join us for lots of fun and fumbles to benefit Mountain Pet Rescue Asheville.
This month’s Shift Drink™ will take place on Friday, February 25th at a local CCC Training Center near you! Come by for a coffee at any time between 11am – 2pm. We’d love to see you!
Shift Drink™ is a monthly pop-up coffee shop that aims to raise awareness for local non-profit organizations in our regional communities. We are thrilled to re-open our Training Center doors and share coffee again, with a format and style that reflects the changing world. Every month we will feature a different coffee and a unique signature beverage developed by our regional teams.
This month we will be raising money for BeLoved, an organization that provides aid to houseless individuals in Asheville , North Carolina. BeLoved facilitates a number of critical programs like BeLoved Village, a community of microhomes for folks struggling with housing insecurity and a Street Medic group that provides medical aid to those in need. We are excited help support BeLoved during this month’s Shift Drink™ event!
(Shift Drink™ will take place the last Friday of each month)
