Puppies, yoga and tattoos

This full-day event, held at Karma House in Ubud, aims to raise funds to support the Bali Animal Welfare Association (BAWA). In the morning, participants will get a chance to kick-off the day with some (literally) puppy love for a Puppy Yoga Class, followed by a meet and cuddle session with BAWA’s dogs, which are always looking for foster and permanent homes. You can also book a spot to get your tattoos inked, half of the proceeds of which will go towards BAWA. 

Friday, Dec 13 at Karma House Ubud from 10.30am to 8pm. Book your spot via WhatsApp, contact +33630388984.
