Why Puppy Yoga Boston is such a standout wellness experience
1) It’s beginner-friendly, even if you’re new to yoga
You don’t need a perfect downward dog to enjoy this class. The 45-minute vinyasa flow is designed for all levels and taught by certified instructors who keep the sequencing approachable and welcoming. That means you can focus on feeling good in your body, not “keeping up” or worrying that you’re doing it wrong.
And because the environment is inherently playful (there are puppies!), it naturally takes the edge off. Many people find it easier to relax and stay present when the mood in the room is light and joyful.
2) You get a complete 75-minute experience (movement plus recovery time)
The structure is simple and satisfying:
- 45 minutes of guided yoga flow to warm up, move, and reset
- 30 minutes of puppy chill time to unwind, cuddle, play, and take photos
It’s a great combination if you love the idea of a wellness class that doesn’t rush you out the door the second savasana ends. The dedicated puppy portion builds in a feel-good “afterglow” that many attendees describe as the highlight of their weekend.
3) The “extras” make it feel like a pop-up event, not just a class
This isn’t a bring-your-own-mat, in-and-out studio session. Your ticket includes:
- A yoga mat provided for the session
- A wellness drink cart to elevate the experience
- A social, upbeat environment that’s made for smiles (and yes, photos)
For many guests, those details turn a typical weekend workout into a mini wellness outing.
Meet the puppies: where they come from and what to expect
Puppy ages, vaccinations, and sourcing
Sessions typically include 6 to 12 puppies that are 8 to 12 weeks old and vaccinated. Puppies are sourced from local breeders (within about an hour of the city), and they participate in the class before going on to their new homes.
Many people love that this format also supports early socialization. Gentle, positive interactions with humans can help puppies become more comfortable as they transition into family life.
Breed announcements (and why they aren’t guaranteed)
Puppy breeds are typically announced around three days before the event. However, breeds are not guaranteed and may change at the last minute for a variety of reasons. If a specific breed is your dream, it’s best to treat the announcement as a fun surprise rather than a promise.
Why litters aren’t mixed
For puppy welfare and safety, different litters are not mixed. This policy helps reduce stress and supports healthier, calmer interactions during the session.
Good to know: Because puppy wellness comes first, interaction with the puppies is not guaranteed. In practice, many guests do get meaningful puppy time, but it’s best to arrive with a flexible mindset and let the experience unfold naturally.
Location, timing, and what a weekend visit looks like
Studio address
Puppy Yoga Boston sessions take place at the Cambridge/Leather District studio location:
230 Somerville Ave, Floor 2, Somerville, MA 02143
Weekend schedule and timeslots
Classes run on Saturdays and Sundays with multiple timeslots throughout the day. This makes it easy to plan a morning mood-boost, a midday reset, or an afternoon treat after brunch.
Because sessions frequently sell out, booking ahead is a smart move if you have a specific weekend or timeslot in mind.
Before you go: arrival timing, waiver, and age rules
Arrive early (it’s part of a smooth experience)
Plan to arrive 15 minutes early so you can check in, settle into the studio, and be ready to start on time.
Also note the late policy: entry is not allowed 20 minutes after the session begins. With a timed pop-up and puppy welfare considerations, this helps keep the session calm and structured for everyone.
Waiver requirement
All participants must sign a waiver before joining the session.
Minimum age
The minimum participant age is 10 years old. If a minor is under 15, they must be accompanied by an adult.
Safety and comfort: how to set yourself up for a great time
Puppies are adorable, but they’re also learning how to interact with people and their environment. Participating in a class with puppies comes with potential risks like scratches or bites. Most guests find that a calm, respectful approach leads to the best (and safest) interactions.
Simple tips to help the session feel effortless
- Wear comfortable clothing you can move in (and that you don’t mind getting a little paw attention).
- Listen to the instructor for pacing and beginner-friendly options.
- Stay gentle with the puppies and let them come to you when they’re ready.
- Focus on the experience, not perfection. The magic is in the mix of movement and joy.
Ticket policy: changes, transfers, and what “pop-up” means
Because this is a pop-up event, ticket sales are final and non-refundable. However, there is flexibility if your schedule changes: you can typically change your class up to three days before the event.
If you’re booking a popular weekend or planning around friends, it helps to confirm your timing early so you can lock in the timeslot you want.
