Puppy Yoga Rochester

Puppy Yoga Experience!
Join us for a one-of-a-kind wellness experience combining gentle yoga with the joy of playful puppies! This event is designed to help you relax, recharge, and enjoy some lighthearted fun surrounded by adorable furry companions.

During the session, you’ll move through beginner-friendly yoga poses while friendly puppies roam, cuddle, and interact with participants. Whether you’re a yoga enthusiast or just looking for a unique outing, this event is all about stress relief and smiles.

Each event has a variety of different puppies who are learning to interact with people so they can grow into well-socialized adult dogs. We cooperate with breeders, individuals, and local rescues such as "ReJoyceful Animal Rescue" and "Luvum All Animal Rescue".
