We get asked a range of questions in regards to Puppy Yoga, so we have collected the most common questions, and placed them in a FAQ below. If you have any additional questions, please email us at hello@yogawithpuppies.co.uk.
Puppy yoga is a unique and enjoyable experience that combines the benefits of yoga practice with the presence of adorable puppies. During a puppy yoga session, participants engage in yoga poses while surrounded by playful and friendly puppies. It offers a delightful blend of relaxation, exercise, and the joy of spending time with furry companions.
Puppy yoga is an absolute delight for several reasons. Not only does it provide the benefits of a regular yoga practice, such as improved flexibility, reduced stress, and increased mindfulness, but it also adds the element of puppy therapy. Scientific studies have shown that interacting with animals can have a positive impact on overall well-being, including reduced blood pressure and lower levels of stress hormones. Puppy yoga offers a unique opportunity to combine the physical and emotional benefits of yoga with the therapeutic presence of puppies, resulting in a truly uplifting experience.

We recommend wearing comfortable, stretchable clothing that allows you to move freely during the yoga session. Opt for breathable fabrics that will keep you cool and comfortable. Since puppies are involved, it’s best to avoid wearing loose or dangling accessories that may get tangled or grabbed during the practice. It’s also a good idea to wear socks or grip socks to ensure stability and prevent slipping.

We collaborate with trusted breeders who ensure the puppies are healthy, socialized, and ready for interaction. We have strict guidelines in place to ensure the welfare and safety of the puppies at all times.

Interacting with humans in a controlled and positive environment helps with their socialization and exposes them to different sights, sounds, and touch.

The age of the puppies may vary depending on the specific session and availability. We strive to include puppies that are old enough to engage in socialization activities safely. Typically, the puppies used in our puppy yoga sessions are between 8 to 16 weeks old. This age range ensures that they have received necessary vaccinations and are at a stage where they can interact and play with participants in a controlled manner.
The specific breeds of puppies in each session may vary. We work with trusted breeders, which means the available breeds can change from session to session. The focus is on promoting the well-being of puppies in need of socialization and potential adoption. We strive to provide a diverse mix of breeds to offer a variety of experiences for participants.
Yes, the puppies receive regular breaks during the puppy yoga sessions. We have designated areas where the puppies can rest, hydrate, and relax as needed. Our trained staff closely monitor the puppies’ behavior and well-being, and if any puppy shows signs of fatigue or stress, they are given ample rest time away from the yoga activities. Ensuring the puppies’ comfort and minimizing any potential stress is an integral part of our approach.
