Our mission

At Downward Dogs Puppy Yoga, our mission is to make wellness feel joyful, approachable, and full of connection. We create feel-good puppy yoga experiences where guests can relax, laugh, move gently, and enjoy the unconditional love only puppies can bring. Every class is designed to support both people and puppies—offering a safe, clean, happy space for stress relief, social connection, and plenty of puppy snuggles.

How it started

Founded in Woodbury, Minnesota, Downward Dogs Puppy Yoga was created to bring something fun, calming, and completely joyful to the Twin Cities. We wanted to build a space where wellness feels less intimidating and more uplifting—where guests can move gently, laugh freely, and leave feeling happier than when they arrived. Our classes are designed to be beginner-friendly, safe, clean, and full of puppy love. With playful puppies, caring handlers, and a welcoming studio environment, every class is created to feel lighthearted, memorable, and good for the soul.

What to expect

Our classes are beginner-friendly, relaxed, and intentionally low-pressure. You’ll be guided through gentle movement while playful puppies roam, cuddle, and bring plenty of smiles to your mat. Each session includes time for yoga, puppy play, snuggles, and photos—because the puppy time is just as important as the stretching. We provide the mats and the puppies. You just wear something comfortable, come ready to laugh, and prepare to leave with a full heart.
