"Now, the only thing standing between me and my first puppy yoga experience is a baby gate. On the other side, eight 12-week-old dachshunds scold me for being a little late. If you so much as think about puppy yoga, you'll get a targeted ad for it. It's definitely trending. But is it worth the hype? Yesbut also maybe not."
"I attend weekly yoga classes (though I'm by no means a yogi). I also have a dog who often visits me when I'm practicing patio yoga at home. I'm pretty open to cuddling any critter that comes my way. Still, I was a little surprised. The Puppy Sphere (Courtesy of @thepuppysphere) As someone who basically has a litter of puppies running around her mind at all times, focusing and finding my breath with actual puppies in the room was a challenge."
"Exiting downward dog, I kept careening around to see what they were doing. Who was the lucky attendee chosen for a cuddle or a walk-by tail swipe? How convenient that dachshunds are pretty much in a permanent plank pose. And honestlywhere did they carry my sweatshirt off to, anyway? But mats were provided (so there's no need to worry about your favorite one getting chewed up), and the puppies were well cared for."
Puppy yoga mixes basic, all-level yoga with young dogs present in the studio. Eight 12-week-old dachshunds greeted the attendee and created frequent distractions during poses and savasana. Mats were provided and puppies remained well cared for, with two designated puppy advocates managing potty accidents, barking, and offering safe cuddle spaces. The presence of puppies reduces the class intensity and shifts the experience toward relaxation, amusement, and gentle movement rather than rigorous exercise. Casual participants and animal lovers will find the format enjoyable and accessible. Serious practitioners seeking a demanding workout should choose a traditional class instead.
