What time should I arrive to the class?
Participants must arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled class time for check in! Late arrival will result in no entry due to the disruption and safety of both the class and the puppies. We thank you for your cooperation in advance!
Do I need to bring my own yoga mat?
No! Yoga mats are provided free of charge on-site with no need to reserve in advance! Feel free to bring your own mat if preferred.
Can I adopt the puppies?
Yes! Adoption inquiries can be addressed directly to the breeder if they're on-site or to our staff as adoption varies based on availability and breeder discretion.
What should I wear to a Puppy Yoga class?
Please wear athletic attire as you will need clothing that allows maximum mobility and optimal comfort when participating in our yoga session.
Can all ages attend a Puppy Yoga class?
Only participants ages 5 and up are permitted to attend our Puppy Yoga class. This age restriction ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for both participants and our furry friends. Younger children may not have the ability to interact with the puppies in a controlled manner, and their safety is our top priority. Thank you for understanding.
Are the puppies vaccinated and safe for human interaction?
Yes, all puppies are vaccinated and thoroughly vetted prior to attending a Puppy Yoga class to ensure they are safe and healthy for human interaction. Your safety and the well-being of the puppies are our top priorities!
Can I wear jewelry during a Puppy Yoga class?
While you can wear jewelry, we recommend avoiding dangly earrings and large necklaces, as they may pose a choking hazard for the puppies or lead to accidental pulling. We are not responsible for any damage, so please be cautious and wear jewelry that doesn't pose a risk to yourself or the playful pups.
Can I wear perfume?
Please avoid wearing perfume to the class, as puppies are sensitive to smells. They may be drawn to the scent and might lick areas where you applied perfume, such as your neck and wrists. To ensure a safe and distraction-free experience for both you and the puppies, we recommend refraining from wearing perfume. We will provide wipes and hand sanitizer at the start of the class if you forget!
Can I book a private event with Pups & Poses Yoga?
Yes! We offer private and corporate events. Whether it's a birthday party, school function, team-building events, and even a bachelorette party, we tailor our services to meet your needs and ensure a memorable experience. Events can be held at one of our studios, your workplace, and even in the comfort of your own home! Please complete the Private Event Form on our website and an event coordinator will contact you. Please note: the form must be filled out prior to discussions or arrangements regarding your private event. Please visit the Private Events page on our website to learn more!
How long is the class?
Puppy Yoga sessions are 1 hour long consisting of 40 minutes of yoga with the puppies and 20 minutes of play time with the puppies.
If I miss a class can I get a refund or ticket transfer?
We do not offer refunds only ticket transfers! To be eligible for a ticket transfer, please email us at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled class. Please note: if you do not see a class of interest on our site at this time, we can transfer your ticket to any future class of your choosing.

I'm a breeder, how do I sign up?
Please send us an email to support@pupsandposesyoga.com to learn more about joining the Pups & Poses Yoga community!
I've never done yoga before, can I still participate?
Yes absolutely! Our certified yoga instructors offer introductory yoga meaning no matter your level of experience this is the place for you. If you feel that a pose may be too difficult for your liking, please feel free to cuddle a puppy instead until the next pose. Don't worry we know you're here for puppies!
Can I participate if I'm pregnant or injured?
All participants must sign a liability waiver prior to attending one of our puppy yoga classes. As we do strive to create a safe and accident-free environment, participants must acknowledge that they're responsible for their own safety and Pups & Poses Yoga is not held liable for any foreseen injuries. If you are pregnant or currently experiencing a pre-existing injury, you may still attend at your discretion. If you're uncomfortable participating in certain yoga poses that is okay! We are here to create a safe, positive, and welcoming environment for all!
Will the puppies pee or poo during the class?
Although the amount of potty incidences can vary, yes, puppies are babies, and poo and pee are a natural part of the experience. But don't worry, our dedicated staff is always on hand to quickly and discreetly clean up any incidences, ensuring a seamless, clean, and enjoyable class for everyone. Rest assured we aim to strive to create a clean and odor-free environment for all participants as hygiene and cleanliness are strongly valued at Pups & Poses Yoga!
Are the puppies sourced responsibly and ethically?
Yes, all puppies are ethically sourced from trusted, responsible breeders and partners who prioritize their health, safety, and well-being!
Where do the puppies go after Puppy Yoga?
Following puppy yoga, the puppies either return to their reputable breeders or transition to their permanent homes, where they are welcomed by carefully vetted and loving owners! The safety, health, and happiness of the puppies is the top priority!
