They say football is a dog-eat-dog business – but these City Women would disagree after taking part in a session of yoga alongside adorable puppies.

Kerstin Casparij, Mary Fowler and Laura Coombs enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of Paw Yoga in Manchester City Centre.

The class was one hour long and consisted of 30 minutes of yoga for the animal-loving trio with a litter of puppies roaming freely and 30 minutes of cuddles with the Toy Cockapoos.

Our club photographers were there to capture an afternoon that would put a smile on anyone’s face!

City Women are set for our latest clash next weekend away at Manchester United.

And we’re sure to show plenty of bite against our neighbours as we look to reduce our six point deficit in the WSL standings.
