What Is Puppy Yoga?

Pose & Play™ Puppy Yoga is a 3-hour kids yoga and mindfulness retreat where every child gets to adopt their very own stuffed puppy and spend the morning moving, creating, and relaxing with their new furry friend.

This isn't a drop-off daycare situation — it's a thoughtfully designed, small-group experience where kids leave with real skills and really great stuff.

Every Child Goes Home With:

🐾 Their adopted stuffed puppy — to keep forever

📜 A personalized, signed Certificate of Adoption

🏠 A handmade puppy carrier/house they designed and decorated

🎨 Their completed Pet Supplies coloring sheet and puppy collar

Everything is included in the $129 registration. Nothing extra to bring or buy.

What Kids Will Do:

✔ Strike puppy-inspired yoga poses and balance challenges

✔ Name and officially "adopt" their stuffed puppy

✔ Complete the Adopt a Puppy craft station (collar, certificate, carrier, supplies)

✔ Play movement games and imaginative yoga adventures

✔ Practice breathing and calming mindfulness tools

✔ Rest in Shavasana — with the sweetest puppy snuggles!

Perfect For Kids Who:

✔ Love animals and imaginative play

✔ Enjoy movement, games, and creative activities

✔ Benefit from calming tools and a supportive environment

✔ Want a fun, screen-free way to spend a day off school

✔ Are new to yoga — no experience needed at all

Boys love this too. All activities are beginner-friendly and designed for every kind of kid.
