About Paws N Pose
Discover our story, our mission, and what makes our puppy yoga sessions so special.
What We Do & Why We Started
At Paws N Pose, we bring together yoga and playful puppies for a fun, stress-relieving experience. Our sessions help you stretch, unwind, and enjoy the joy of puppy cuddles, creating the perfect mix of movement and mindfulness.
We started this to share the therapeutic benefits of yoga and puppy love while giving these little ones a chance to socialize—and maybe even find their forever home, instead of the shelter!
