Frequently Barked Questions:
Are you a rescue group?
No! We ask different rescue groups to participate in our classes, each of which results in a donation made to the participating group and exposure to new audiences. If you have a question about any of the dogs in our classes, we can put you in touch with the responsible rescue group. We are also not a yoga studio, and we do not own our own venue. We simply bring all the parties together and coordinate the magic for you to enjoy!
Are all your classes puppy yoga classes?
When we first started organizing events, we didn't want to discriminate against any age, breed, or size dogs. That's why we named ourselves "Doggy" Noses & Yoga Poses - not "Puppy" Nose & Yoga Poses! Our classes differ from one to the next because the dogs' personalities are so different class to class. We've held several puppy yoga classes, but we've also had classes with adult dogs, senior dogs (affectionately called "grandpa dogs" by us!), and special needs dogs! Each one is fun in its own way!
Can I volunteer for your organization?
We love that our participants (our #PoserSquad members!) want to lend their time and energy to our cause! However, due to our policy of maintaining a safe and comfortable atmosphere for yogis to practice in, we only allow our Event Managers and the rescue group volunteers on the floor to handle the dogs. As we expand to new regions, we do actively look for Event Managers to join our team. Feel free to drop us a line to inquire about that position!
Do dogs get adopted at your events?
We've had several success stories resulting from our classes, and we love to share them on our social media pages!
Is Doggy Noses & Yoga Poses™ a non-profit entity?
Doggy Noses & Yoga Poses™ is a socially-conscious for-profit organization with giving at the core of our business. We are a small business with a big heart! By being able to invest back in ourselves, we are able to expand further and donate to many more rescue groups faster. We have been able to help as many rescue groups as we have in such a short amount of time because of the way we are structured!
How much has Doggy Noses & Yoga Poses™ donated?
As of January 2025, we have donated approximately $265,000 to various rescue groups and non-profit organizations. We're proud to have been able to donate this much since our inception in August 2017!
Is there an age requirement for your classes?
We suggest participants be 12 years of age or older.
