Beat the Winter Blues: Paws, Play & Positivity Pop-Up Class Supports Pets and Their People This January

BOTHELL, Wash. - Jan. 13, 2026 - PRLog -- Winter can be a challenging season for both people and their pets, bringing reduced activity, emotional heaviness, and disrupted routines. To help pet families reconnect, recharge, and uplift one another, animal intuitive and holistic pet wellness educator Vicki Draper is hosting "Paws, Play & Positivity: Beating the Winter Blues Together," a live, interactive pop-up class on Saturday, January 24, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. Pacific, held online via Zoom.

This heart-centered class is designed for dog and cat guardians seeking gentle, practical ways to support emotional wellness during the winter months. Participants will learn simple play-based enrichment, calming techniques, and mindful connection practices that nurture both human and animal well-being.

"Animals are deeply affected by our emotional state, especially during quieter seasons like winter," says Draper. "This class offers tools to restore joy, deepen connection, and bring more light and playfulness into daily life—for pets and their people alike."

During the 90-minute live session, attendees will experience:

• Easy enrichment and play ideas to lift winter energy
• Gentle grounding and calming practices for humans and pets
• Insight into how stress and emotions are shared across the human-animal bond
• Supportive guidance in a warm, community-focused environment

The class is beginner-friendly, requires no prior experience, and is suitable for pet parents everywhere thanks to its online format.
