Clients Say
So fun and well run! Highly recommend this experience. The puppies were adorable and the yoga instructor was amazing. Will definitely be back!
Absolutely incredible experience! The Afro-beat music, the puppies, the yoga — everything was perfectly curated. I've never felt so relaxed and happy at the same time.
Brought my whole friend group for a birthday celebration and everyone LOVED it. The staff were so welcoming and the puppies were pure joy. 10/10 would recommend!
I was nervous as a yoga beginner but the instructor made it so accessible and fun. The puppies kept interrupting my poses in the best way possible. Laughed the whole time!
Took my partner here for our anniversary. The vibe was immaculate — Afro beats, cute puppies, good energy. We're already planning our next visit.
As someone who does yoga regularly, this was such a refreshing twist. The cultural element with the music and the warmth of the instructors made it feel truly special.

Our Commitment
Puppy Welfare & Ethical Standards
The joy and connection we foster in our classes begin with one fundamental principle: the wellbeing of our puppies comes first. Puppies are not props — they are developing animals in a critical stage of growth. Every decision we make is guided by the standards below.
Ethical Partnerships & Sourcing
Vetted Breeders and Rescues: We partner strictly with responsible, ethical breeders and registered local rescue organizations. We do not, and will never, work with puppy mills or high-volume commercial breeding facilities.
Age and Health Requirements: No puppy under the age of six weeks is permitted to participate. All puppies must have received veterinary clearance and age-appropriate vaccinations prior to attending any event.
Safe Transportation: Puppies are transported to and from our venues in safe, climate-controlled environments, ensuring their journey is as stress-free as the class itself.
A Puppy-Centered Class Environment
Strict Hygiene Protocols: All floors, yoga mats, and shared surfaces are thoroughly sanitized with pet-safe products before and after every session. Participants remove shoes and sanitize hands before entering the puppy zone.
The Right to Rest: Our classes are structured to ensure playtime is capped. We provide designated "Calm Zones" with water and comfortable bedding. If a puppy retreats to a Calm Zone, they are strictly off-limits to participants.
Autonomy and Choice: Puppies are never forced to interact. They are free to roam, play, observe, or sleep at their own pace. The flow of the class is dictated by their comfort levels, not the other way around.
Participant Guidelines & Supervision
Dedicated Puppy Monitors: Every class is staffed with dedicated "Puppy Monitors" whose sole responsibility is to observe the puppies — monitoring behavior, energy levels, and signs of fatigue, intervening immediately if a puppy needs a break.
Gentle Handling Rules: Participants are instructed on proper handling techniques before class. Rules include petting only below the shoulder, avoiding sudden movements or loud noises, and never waking a sleeping puppy.
No Unsupervised Lifting: To prevent accidental drops or stress, participants are not permitted to pick up or carry puppies while standing. All interactions must occur while seated safely on the yoga mat.
The Benefits of Responsible Socialization
Critical Socialization Window: The critical socialization window for puppies occurs between 3 and 14 weeks of age. Positive exposure to new sights, sounds, and people during this period is vital for healthy development.
Confidence Building: Our controlled, supervised environments allow puppies to experience gentle handling and diverse human interactions without becoming overwhelmed, helping them develop into well-adjusted, happy adult dogs.
Mutual Benefit: When conducted under these strict ethical standards, puppy yoga offers significant benefits not just for human participants, but for the puppies themselves — a true win-win experience.
Transparency is our promise.
