What is “Puppy Yoga”?

Puppy Yoga is when yoga classes are held and puppies are introduced to the studio where they are free to roam around, play, tussle, sleep in, around and even ON the yoga students.

The exact format may differ from class to class.

Some events will split their yoga class into one half being purely yoga and the second half of the class is when the puppies are brought in and everyone is free to play with them.

Other events may allow the puppies into the studio from the very beginning.

Are there any health benefits to puppy yoga?

Well………actually YES!

On many of the puppy yoga websites you will read about “serotonin”.

Serotonin is a chemical inside the body that is often nicknamed the “happiness hormone”.

People can get a release of serotonin from exercise, diet and sleep.

Interaction with animals, and cute puppies in particular, is said to boost serotonin levels inside the body.

Combined with the physical and well being effects of practising yoga then the puppies and yoga combined are a great combination.

Qualified Yoga Instructors

Although the emphasis on puppy yoga classes is on fun there is also a yoga element to each class and you can be assured that every teacher will be a qualified and experienced yoga teacher.

Don’t be intimidated though if you have never attended a yoga class before in your life. The yoga instructors know that the classes are first and foremost a puppy playtime session and it isn’t taken too seriously if you decide all you want to do is play around with all the puppies in the studio!
