This online session, designed for the Monterey community, explores the unique social dynamics of finding connection in modern ways. We will discuss how unconventional settings can create powerful opportunities for bonding, even in a beautiful place like Monterey where meeting people can still be a challenge. This talk, "Puppy Yoga: How to Find Love in the Most Unexpected Place," provides insights into how a shared, joyful experience breaks down barriers. You will come away with a new perspective on fostering relationships in environments centered around fun, rather than the usual pressures of the local dating scene.

We will delve into the psychology behind why activities like puppy yoga work as social icebreakers. Given the love for animals and the outdoors in the Monterey Bay area, we’ll explore how their presence can lower inhibitions and create an immediate, shared focus online. This can make starting conversations feel more natural. The discussion will cover how to be more approachable, even in a digital setting. Our goal is to give Monterey residents a framework for thinking about social opportunities differently, seeing potential connections within our local-focused, yet globally accessible, online event.
