Abu Dhabi, it’s officially time to unroll your mats—Yoppy Puppy Yoga has arrived, and we’re thrilled to bring our signature blend of movement, mindfulness, and puppy love to the capital.
As recently featured in Time Out Abu Dhabi’s newsletter, our sessions are now part of the city’s vibrant wellness and lifestyle scene.
If you’ve been looking for a joyful way to de-stress, recharge, and connect—with your body, your breath, and some adorable pups—our puppy yoga classes were made for you.
A New Kind of Yoga Experience
Each Yoppy session is a 60-minute class that combines relaxation and lightheartedness in equal measure. Here’s what the structure looks like:
- 20 minutes of beginner-friendly yoga, guided by our experienced instructors
- 35 minutes of puppy interaction, where you’re welcome to keep stretching, take photos, or simply sit and play
- 5 minutes of meditation and deep breathing, closing the session with calm and clarity
Whether you’ve practiced yoga before or not, our sessions are designed to be accessible and enjoyable for everyone. All you need is a mat and a willingness to smile.
Now Booking in Abu Dhabi
We’re now hosting sessions at select wellness venues in the city, including options for:
- Mixed sessions
- Ladies-only sessions
Our first Abu Dhabi classes have already brought together yogis, dog lovers, and curious first-timers who all left feeling lighter, calmer, and a little more joyful—thanks in large part to the puppies.

A Wellness Experience With Purpose
What makes Yoppy special isn’t just the yoga—it’s the mission behind it.
Each puppy in our sessions is looking for a loving home. These classes provide a safe and supportive space for them to socialize, gain confidence, and interact with people in a positive way. Some attendees have even gone home with a new best friend after connecting with a puppy on the mat.
We’re committed to partnering with ethical breeders and dog owners, and are actively working with UAE-based rescue groups to expand our reach and impact across the region.
Why Puppy Yoga Works
Combining light movement with animal interaction has powerful wellness benefits. Spending time with puppies has been shown to:
- Reduce cortisol levels (the stress hormone)
- Boost mood and increase serotonin
- Encourage mindfulness and present-moment awareness
In other words, it’s a full-body reset—physically and emotionally. Add the backdrop of a welcoming community and you’ve got the perfect hour-long break from daily life.
