HOW PUPPY YOGA CAME TO HALIFAX
Our Story
Halifax Puppy Yoga, founded in March 2024 by Shipra Chaubey and Jasvinder Singh, introduced the first puppy yoga studio to the Halifax Regional Municipality. Our mission is to blend mindful movement with the joy of spending time with dogs, offering a unique wellness experience that benefits both participants and puppies.
YOGA THAT GIVES BACK
Supporting Animal Rescue
Beyond relaxation, our sessions support animal rescue efforts. In collaboration with FlyWithMe Animal Rescue, we host charity puppy yoga events where all net proceeds go directly to rescuing and rehabilitating puppies in need. These events not only provide socialization for the puppies but also help them find their forever homes.
A SAFE, HEARTWARMING SPACE
A Community-Focused Experience
At Halifax Puppy Yoga, we’re building a safe, heart-warming space where connection comes first. Our promise is puppy-first welfare and people-first care: every class is paced around the pups with gentle handling and rest breaks, small group sizes, clean mats and sanitized spaces, and trained hosts guiding each interaction. We welcome individuals, couples, families, and seniors—newcomers and seasoned yogis alike—and offer accessible modifications so everyone can participate comfortably. We practice kindness and consent, letting puppies approach on their terms and encouraging guests to move mindfully. Whether you come to stretch, to smile, or to support responsible socialization, you’ll leave feeling grounded, uplifted, and part of a community that puts well-being—human and canine—at the center of everything we do.
Sanitized spaces, small groups, clear standards, and informed guidance you can trust:
Puppy-First Welfare
We design every class around the puppies’ well-being—short sessions, rest breaks, gentle handling, clean spaces, and trained staff.
Safe, Clean, Professional
Clear standards, strict hygiene, controlled class sizes, and informed guidance so people and pups feel comfortable from arrival to goodbye.
Kind Community
Beginner-friendly, judgment-free, and respectful of all bodies and abilities—focused on connection, consent, and positive experiences.
