The 75-minute experience, step by step
1) Get settled (arrive 15 minutes early)
Your best experience starts with a calm arrival. Plan to show up 15 minutes early so you can check in, get oriented, and set up comfortably. This helps the class begin on time and supports a smooth flow once the puppies are in the room.
Timing matters: entry is not allowed 20 minutes after the session begins. Arriving early helps you avoid stress and ensures you don’t miss the portion you came for.
2) 45 minutes of all-level flow yoga (beginner-friendly)
The first part is a 45-minute all-level flow designed to feel welcoming whether you’re brand new to yoga or already practicing regularly. Expect a supportive, upbeat pace that prioritizes enjoyment and accessibility.
And yes, the puppies are part of the magic: you’ll practice surrounded by their playful energy, which can make the room feel lighter, funnier, and more relaxed than a traditional studio class.
3) 30 minutes of puppy chill time
After yoga comes the moment many people daydream about: 30 minutes dedicated to puppy cuddles, playtime, and photos. It’s a built-in mental reset that can leave you feeling genuinely refreshed, especially if you’ve been craving a cheerful break from routine.
What your ticket includes
- 75 minutes in the puppy yoga experience
- 45-minute all-level yoga session
- 30-minute puppy chill time
- A wellness drink
- A yoga mat provided for the session
Because mats are provided, this is an easy “show up and enjoy” event. If you love a specific mat for grip or comfort, you may still prefer your own, but it’s not required to participate.
Why puppy yoga is a feel-good wellness win
A joyful way to move
Yoga already supports mobility, balance, and breath awareness. Add puppies, and the experience often becomes more approachable for people who feel intimidated by traditional classes. The vibe tends to be more playful and less perfection-focused.
A natural mood lift
Spending time around puppies can feel like an instant attitude reset. Combined with gentle movement and a welcoming environment, many participants describe leaving happier, lighter, and more energized for the rest of the day.
A beginner-friendly social experience
This is not just a workout; it’s a shared moment. Whether you come with a friend, a partner, or solo, puppy yoga creates an easy conversation starter and a fun memory you can talk about long after.
Puppy wellness and safety: how interaction works
Seattle Puppies & Yoga emphasizes puppy wellness, and interaction is guided by health, behavior, and safety considerations. While the experience is designed to include puppy time, interaction with the puppies is not guaranteed, because puppy wellbeing comes first.
It’s also important to understand that being around puppies can involve minor risks like scratches or bites. That’s part of why participants must sign a waiver before joining the session, and why staff prioritize gentle, appropriate interactions.
In each session, the group typically includes 6 to 12 puppies. These numbers may vary depending on availability. For the health and safety of the puppies, different litters are not mixed.
Where it’s located: Uptown/Belltown studios
Events are held at:
159 Western Ave W, Suite 281, Seattle, WA 98119
You’ll receive a code to enter in your confirmation email. The location includes two studio options:
- Studio 1 (not wheelchair accessible)
- Studio 2 (wheelchair accessible)
If accessibility is a priority, selecting Studio 2 can help you plan with confidence.
What kinds of puppies will be there?
Puppies in these sessions are:
- 8 to 12 weeks old
- Vaccinated
- Sourced from local breeders within about one hour of the city
Breeds are typically announced a few days before the session (commonly around 3 to 4 days prior). Because animal availability can change, breeds are not guaranteed and may vary at the last minute.
The upside of this approach is that it keeps scheduling flexible and helps prioritize puppy welfare. The fun part is that each weekend can feel like a new surprise.
Who can attend (and what to know before you book)
Age guidelines
- Children must be at least 10 years old.
- Minors under 15 years old must be accompanied by an adult.
Waiver requirement
All participants must sign a waiver before joining the session.
Arrive early and plan for the start time
- Arrive 15 minutes early.
- No entry is allowed 20 minutes after the session begins.
If you want the full yoga flow and maximum puppy time, punctuality is one of the best “prep steps” you can take.
Ticket policy: refunds, changes, and planning ahead
Because these are pop-up events, all ticket sales are final and non-refundable. The good news for planners is that class changes are allowed up to 3 days before the event, which can be a helpful safety net if your schedule shifts.
How to get the most out of your puppy yoga session
- Wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Puppies can be playful, so choose something you won’t worry about too much.
- Keep expectations flexible. Puppies have their own moods and energy levels, and interactions may vary with puppy wellness and safety needs.
- Focus on the experience, not perfection. It’s an all-level class designed for enjoyment.
- Be camera-ready (if you want photos). The puppy chill time is ideal for pictures, but always prioritize calm, gentle interactions.
- Hydrate and enjoy your wellness drink. It’s part of the “treat yourself” vibe built into the ticket.
