If it's Puppy Yoga in Australia, it's probably us
Yoga Paws is Australia’s largest Puppy Yoga organisation, with weekly sessions nationwide. They are extremely fun, great socialisation for the puppies, and the best excuse to workout since hot girl walks. What started in Brisbane in 2024 as a bi-weekly hobby and animal-socialisation passion project of our Co-Founders Harry and Tea-Maria, quickly became a nationwide movement, where we have worked with organisations such as Cirque Du Soleil and Porsche, and amazing animal rescues across the country. We love the community we are building, and can't wait to see you on the mat! Book your Puppy Yoga session today, and come experience the magic of Yoga Paws!

Puppy Yoga: Your Top Questions Answered
🐾
Where do the puppies come from, and where do they go once they grow up?
We don’t breed or own any puppies. They come from local ethical breeders and rescue shelters for a day of gentle, controlled socialisation. After class, they return to their carers (with an improved confidence) and continue their normal routine until they join their new homes,

What is Puppy Yoga and how does it work?
Puppy Yoga is a 60 minute class where a litter of young puppies roam and play freely as you move through a gentle, beginner friendly yoga flow. The instructor guides you through stretches and poses while the puppies play, explore and curl up with you (on on your face). The session includes time to settle in, a relaxed flow with plenty of puppy interactions, and ends with dedicated cuddle time and a short meditation.
🐾
What are the benefits of Puppy Yoga?
Puppy Yoga lets people enjoy feel-good movement, unwind from daily stress and spend time with adorable puppies. It boosts your mood, eases tension and helps you relax. For the puppies, it's a safe way to meet new people and build confidence outside the home. The session is calm, structured and beneficial for both humans and puppies!
Oh yeah, it is also so much fun!
🐾
Is Puppy Yoga suitable if I’m pregnant or attending with a child?
Yes, absolutely. Pregnant participants are welcome, as the classes are gentle and slow paced, and you can go at your own pace. Just let the instructor know before class. Children are also welcome. Those aged 12 and over can join without issue, and for kids under 12, just email us before booking. They are fine to attend as long as they can stay calm, follow basic class etiquette and be mindful of others, especially the puppies.

What makes Yoga Paws, Yoga Paws
Written by the founders
We always struggle knowing where to start with these pieces, but here we go! Yoga Paws was born from a simple idea - that sharing space with puppies while you recharge, stretch and unwind could become something powerful. Not just for you, but for them too. What started as a gut feeling quickly became a movement, built on the belief that something special happens when people and animals come together. That a little chaos, a little order, and a lot of care can shift someone’s day and changes the lives of the puppies we work with.
Our mission rests on two simple things: supporting your mental health, and giving puppies space to grow through intentional socialisation. We’re not here to run a polished production line. We’re here to create something better - a space where people can breathe, stretch, and reconnect, while baby animals safely experience the world around them. We have sculpted our sessions with care at the forefront: 60-minute puppy rest breaks, guided socialisation, safe and sanitised environments, and a rhythm that follows the puppies, not the clock.
Through Yoga Paws, we want to make a genuine difference. We are not just names behind a brand. We’re in the thick of it every weekend, packing cars, picking up puppies, rolling mats, cleaning up wees, and connecting with our community.
This authenticity and heart are what set us apart, what brings breeders and rescues back each litter, and what turns first-timers into regulars. This is why we have grown to be the largest Puppy Yoga organisation in Australia. This is Yoga Paws.
Puppy Yoga: Good for You, Even Better for Them
Our sessions aren't just a chance to feel-good and unwind - they’re 100% designed around the wellbeing of the puppies we work with. Every element of the experience is built around their needs, from scheduled one-hour nap breaks between classes to our golden rule: puppies interact on their own accord.
Each session offers a safe, calm space for the puppies to gently socialise, explore new surroundings, and grow in confidence. We partner exclusively with trusted shelters and ethical breeders to ensure every puppy is supported, stress-free, and given the care they deserve.
