practice yoga with puppies
For some of us, playing with dogs and puppies is more than just a form of exercise — it’s an opportunity to step away from the noise and stress of our day. In much the same way, yoga is meant to help you discover a deeper sense of well-being and mindfulness. To benefit from both of these activities, we are grateful to offer puppy yoga classes.
Dog and puppy yoga classes are a great place to relax and unwind while improving your fitness. For each class, Water and Rock Studio partners with local rescues, shelters, and farms around the country to support them and benefit you! We’re excited to offer puppy yoga classes throughout the Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, California and Vermont areas. We’re also adding more cities and states every day, so make sure to check back often! Embrace this unique opportunity to practice yoga in a soothing setting where you can develop your senses of strength, focus, balance, and breathing, all while enjoying the company of our canine friends. After each puppy yoga class, some of the dogs will be available for adoption.

As you’re stretching out your side body, building strength in chair pose, or gaining awareness during pigeon pose, you’ll have an opportunity to pet and play with fun and friendly puppies. You don’t always get to laugh during a typical yoga practice, but that’s what makes these afternoons so unforgettable!

relax and unwind with puppy yoga
It’s easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of daily life. The demands of work and home all set to the constant chirping and buzzing of our smartphones can overwhelm even the most centered of us. By attending a dog yoga class, you’ll be able to clear your mind and have a fun and unforgettable experience!
There are lots of mental and physical health benefits to yoga and playing with puppies. Yoga reduces stress and improves mood and energy. Petting a dog lowers blood pressure and heart rate and helps you relax. With less stress in your life, you’ll feel better. Both yoga and dogs also help us feel more connected, which is a vital part of holistic wellness. It’s for these and many more reasons that yoga with puppies is so rewarding.

how we structure all of our dog and puppy yoga classes
Just like dogs are welcoming of everyone, so are our puppy yoga classes. For those new to yoga, you’ll find that our classes are a great introduction to the practice. More experienced yogis will appreciate the chance to practice poses and breathing in a new environment. We accept everyone in our puppy yoga classes, regardless of age or experience (kids and adults of al ages welcome). The focus is to simply enjoy the experience of yoga and the presence of puppies.
Unlike traditional yoga classes, we perform the poses in the presence of the puppies, who are allowed to move freely through the space. It’s not uncommon for puppies to clamber on top of you while you stretch, or to roll around on your mat next to you. The puppies are a fun part of the experience, so feel free to take some time to play with them as you progress through the poses.
After class there is plenty of unstructured time to play with the pups. This allows you to meet and interact with the dogs and puppies.
We have the highest safety standards however in animal yoga there will be animals in the class area with you. Animals are unpredictable and being around them has some inherent risks. When you create your account with us, before your first session, please review the waiver fully. By participating in any of our classes/sessions at any location, you are agreeing to the terms of this liability release waiver.
