This one-hour class is a perfect blend of fun and relaxation, starting with 15 minutes of puppy playtime, followed by 30 minutes of gentle yoga, and ending with 15 minutes of cuddles and photos.

Benefits for body and mind

Puppy yoga isn’t just a feel-good activity; it has proven benefits for mental health and well-being – it has so many benefits beyond just making you smile and feeling all fuzzy inside.

The combination of yoga and puppy play boosts dopamine and serotonin levels, reducing stress and improving overall mood.

When we spend time with puppies our dopamine and serotonin levels can be increased, these “feel good” chemicals our brains release can improve our overall mood and happiness.

Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or a beginner, Paw Yoga’s classes offer a unique way to unwind and feel good.

Paw Yoga have fully qualified yoga teachers who will guide you through 30 minutes of gentle stretches and poses.

Classes are aimed at all abilities, so not to worry if you’ve never done yoga before! If you have any injuries or concerns, please discuss these with the yoga teacher before the class starts.

The team at Paw Yoga operate a strict two humans to one dog ratio, so it means everyone gets to spend time with these beloved pooches.

Pay Yoga’s two-year-anniversary celebration

Puppy welfare first

At Paw Yoga Manchester, the well-being of the puppies is top priority.

Every puppy is vaccinated and of appropriate age, and we partner only with trusted, ethical breeders.

The classes provide a safe space for the pups to socialise and get used to being around people before they find their forever homes.
