Paw Yoga Manchester
Welcome to Manchester’s cutest puppy yoga & Pilates classes! Based in the heart of Manchester city centre, we invite animal lovers to join us for an experience like no other. Spend an hour stretching, moving and relaxing while surrounded by adorable puppies — it’s the paw-fect way to unwind!

Classes
Our classes are one hour long and consist of 15 minutes meeting the pups, 30 minutes of gentle yoga or Pilates, followed by a further 15 minutes for cuddles and photos. Our qualified teachers will guide you through 30 minutes of gentle stretches, poses and movements. The classes are suitable for all abilities, so don’t worry if you’ve never tried yoga or Pilates before!

Puppies
Ensuring the well-being of the puppies is our utmost priority. All attending puppies are over 8 weeks old and vaccinated, and come from trusted, ethical breeders who provide them with nurturing homes. Playtime is an essential part of their socialising and development, so by attending our classes, the pups get used to being around people before they are adopted.

Well-being
Puppy Yoga has so many benefits beyond just making you smile and feeling all fuzzy inside. Both yoga and spending time with puppies has been proven to reduce stress and improve mental health and well-being. When we spend time with puppies our dopamine and serotonin levels can be increased, these “feel good” chemicals our brains release can improve our overall mood and happiness.
Paw Yoga Turns Four!
Thank you to everyone who has joined us over the past four years. We've had a paw-tastic fourth year and celebrated with a weekend of paw-ty-themed classes. A huge thank you to our pawsome staff, local breeders, and venues, we couldn't do it without each and every one of you! We can't wait to see what year five will bring!
Charity classes for a pawsitively good cause!
On Sunday 30th June we hosted our first charity classes. The sessions raised money for Alzheimer's Research UK. All profits were donated to the charity to help aid its research to find more effective ways to diagnose Alzheimer's, prevent it and to work towards a cure. Thank you to everyone who attended our classes for a pawtastic cause.
Manchester City Women
We’ve been lucky enough to host the Manchester City Women’s Football Team for multiple puppy yoga sessions at Paw Yoga, with the players swapping the pitch for poses and enjoying some time to relax, stretch and cuddle puppies. Kerstin Casparij, Mary Fowler, Laura Coombs, Laura Brown, Laura Wienroither, Leila Ouahabi and Ayaka Yamashita have all joined us, alongside more of the team. They’ve enjoyed plenty of puppy cuddles, stretches and time to switch off from the pitch.
Blue Peter Live Show
Paw Yoga was invited on the BBC to celebrate Blue Peter Dog Henry's 5th year on the show. Four fabulous celebrities joined in the fun, striking poses with their pets for a live show that had tails wagging everywhere. Catch the woof-tastic episode aired on Friday 5th April on BBC iPlayer!
