Are you ready to combine the calming practice of yoga with the unbridled joy of playing with puppies? Puppy yoga is taking the wellness world by storm, and Puppysphere offers one of the most unique and heartwarming experiences you'll find. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or complete beginner, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about your first puppy yoga class.

What is puppy yoga?

Puppy yoga combines traditional yoga poses and movements with the therapeutic presence of playful puppies. During a Puppysphere class, you'll practice gentle yoga while adorable puppies roam freely around the studio, offering cuddles, entertainment, and a healthy dose of joy. This innovative approach to wellness not only helps you stay physically active but also provides stress relief and mental health benefits through interaction with the pups.

What should I wear to a puppy yoga class?

Comfort is key when it comes to puppy yoga attire. Wear fitted but comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. While loose clothing might seem comfortable, remember that playful puppies might see flowing fabrics as tempting toys. We recommend:

  • Fitted yoga pants or leggings

  • A well-fitted t-shirt or tank top

  • Hair tied back to avoid puppy tugging

  • Grip socks (optional but recommended)

What should I bring to a puppy yoga class?

  

One of the best things about Puppysphere is that they've thought of everything you might need. Here's what you should know:

  • Yoga mats are provided by Puppysphere (and professionally sanitized between classes)

  • Bring a non-glass water bottle

  • Leave valuable jewelry at home

  • Bring your camera or phone for photos (there's dedicated photo time after class)

How are puppy yoga classes structured?

A typical Puppysphere puppy yoga session runs for 75 minutes and includes:

  • An introduction and safety briefing from staff

  • 45 minutes of gentle flow yoga with puppies

  • 30 minutes of dedicated puppy playtime, bubbly drinks and photo opportunities

Do I need yoga experience to take a puppy yoga class?

  

Don't worry if you're new to yoga – Puppysphere's classes are designed for all skill levels. The focus is on gentle movements and basic poses that allow you to interact with the puppies safely. Instructors understand that there will be plenty of giggles and distractions, and that's part of the fun!
