Puppy Yoga for Beginners: What to Expect at a Yoppy Session
Let’s be honest—sometimes the best reason to roll out a yoga mat is for the puppies.
If you’ve seen our Instagram reel captioned “Here only for the puppies,” you already understand the vibe: lighthearted, uplifting, and filled with furry friends. And at Yoppy, we fully embrace that energy. Whether you’re new to yoga or simply here for the snuggles, our sessions are designed to welcome you exactly as you are.
The Yoppy Experience, Step by Step
Our puppy yoga sessions follow a simple structure that combines gentle movement with heart-melting moments:
- 20 minutes of beginner-friendly yoga, led by one of our experienced instructors
- 35 minutes of free interaction with playful puppies—you’re welcome to keep stretching or pause to soak in the cuteness
- 5 minutes of guided relaxation and meditation, closing the class with calm and clarity
There’s no pressure to perfect your poses or maintain serious focus. In fact, we encourage you to laugh, pause, and fully enjoy the unpredictable joy of having puppies roam the studio while you breathe and move.
No Yoga Experience? No Problem.
One of the most common things we hear is, “I’m not really a yoga person.” That’s totally fine. Many of our guests attend purely for the therapeutic and emotional boost of being around dogs.
Our flows are intentionally designed for all skill levels, including complete beginners. If you’re new to yoga, you’ll feel right at home. And if you’re mostly here for the puppy cuddles, you’re in excellent company.
Our goal is simple: help you feel better, smile more, and leave feeling lighter—inside and out.
Puppy Love with a Purpose
While the puppies may steal the spotlight, they’re not just there for fun—they’re part of a mission.
All of the dogs you meet during our sessions are looking for forever homes. By participating, you’re helping them build trust with people, develop social confidence, and increase their chances of adoption. Many guests have formed deep bonds with pups during class—and yes, some have even taken them home.
It’s a beautiful blend of self-care and animal kindness. When you attend a Yoppy session, you’re not only benefiting your own well-being, but supporting these pups in a meaningful stage of their development.
Upcoming Sessions in Dubai

A Few Quick Tips Before You Join
- Arrive early: Give yourself time to settle in and meet the pups before class starts.
- Dress comfortably: You’ll be stretching, sitting, and possibly lying down—on a mat that may also become a puppy pillow.
- Bring your phone (optional): Many guests like to capture a few moments—but don’t worry, we also snap plenty of shareable photos at each session.
- Keep an open heart: Puppies have their own personalities—some are playful, others shy—but all are here to connect in their own way.
