Puppy Yoga Frequently Asked Questions
Hey there, how can we help?
General Questions
Puppy Sphere is North America’s leading puppy wellness studio, offering our signature puppy yoga and puppy pilates classes that combine mindful movement, stress relief, and playful interaction with adorable puppies. Our fitness-inspired experiences are designed to support both mental and physical well-being in a joyful, therapeutic environment. In addition to public classes, Puppy Sphere also hosts private events for corporate team-building, influencer activations, and special celebrations, bringing our unique puppy wellness experience to groups of all sizes.
Each Wellness Puppy Yoga class begins with a guided, beginner-friendly yoga flow designed to help you stretch, strengthen, and unwind. Throughout the session, adorable puppies roam freely around the studio, creating plenty of opportunities to cuddle, play, and interact as you move through gentle poses. Our classes are designed to promote mindfulness, stress relief, and overall well-being in a joyful and supportive environment. No prior yoga experience is required - just come ready to relax, have fun, and enjoy an unforgettable yoga class with puppies.
Simply Puppy Yoga is our weekday puppy yoga class option, available in select studios. Each ticket includes a 50-minute puppy experience, made up of:
- 30 minutes of guided puppy yoga
- 20 minutes of puppy chill time
- A yoga mat for the session
Wellness Puppy Yoga is our longer, fuller puppy yoga experience, is typically held on weekends, and is available at every Puppy Sphere studio location. Each class includes a 75-minute puppy experience with:
- 45 minutes of guided puppy yoga
- 30 minute puppy chill time
- Wellness Drink Cart with refreshing sparkling drinks
- Yoga mat for the session
Both classes include plenty of time with the puppies - the main difference is the class length, price, and scheduling.
Our classes are designed to be beginner-friendly and accessible to everyone. We practice a gentle flow-yoga style, with options and guidance throughout so you can move at your own pace and comfort level.
You’re always welcome to take breaks, modify poses, or simply relax on your mat, especially if you’d rather spend some time cuddling or playing with the puppies. The goal is for you to feel comfortable, supported, and have a fun, memorable experience.

Safety & Health
Puppy interactions come with inherent risks including the possibility of minor scratches or nips as puppies explore and play. All attendees must sign our Puppy Sphere Waiver acknowledging these risks before participating. If you experience any discomfort or have concerns following your visit, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional. Please notify our staff immediately if any incident occurs during your session.
All puppies are up-to-date on vaccinations appropriate for their age and come from trusted, reputable breeders and rescues. While puppies this young don't yet receive rabies vaccinations (typically given at 12-16 weeks), there is no risk of rabies exposure as we maintain strict sourcing standards and a controlled studio environment.
We maintain rigorous health and safety standards including regular studio sanitization, trained staff supervision, and strict animal welfare requirements. All guests must sign a liability waiver, and we reserve the right to remove any guest whose behavior poses a risk to puppies or other participants.
Our studios are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between each session. We provide hand sanitizer and recommend washing hands before and after puppy interactions. Puppies are monitored for health and cleanliness throughout their time with us.
Puppy yoga and Puppy Pilates classes involve direct contact with animals and their dander. If you have known allergies to dogs, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before attending. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment. We do have hypo-allergenic breeds join us occasionally, though we cannot guarantee their attendance.

Closed-toe shoes are recommended for arrival, though you'll be barefoot during the session.
