Puppy yoga in Melbourne puts an hour of movement and puppy play into the weekend for people who would enjoy a different recreational activity.
Yoga Paws combines beginner-friendly floor yoga, dedicated puppy playtime and a relaxing finish in a 60-minute session. No previous yoga experience is needed, mats are provided and participants must be aged 12 or over. The yoga takes place on the floor, and handling guidance includes remaining seated while holding a puppy.
Puppies choose when to approach, play or rest. Two trained staff focus on animal care, with a separate retreat area and full rest breaks between sessions. No animals are sold at the sessions.
This is a paid public recreational programme. Tickets cost AUD $59 including GST. The ongoing Melbourne programme runs weekly on Sundays, with regular starts at 8am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm and 4pm and a final finish at 5pm. Check the city page for released dates, available sessions and any cancellations.
Tickets are released approximately three weeks ahead. See current session information and bookings at Yoga Paws Melbourne.
