On Sunday, October 25, 2026, a group of colleagues from Mass General Brigham spent their late morning with us. Thirteen people came to our studio at 28 Tremont Street, in downtown Boston, for a private Puppy Yoga session at 11:30 AM, a weekend break away from busy work weeks.
Worth the wait
This session had been on the group's calendar for a while. It was first planned in June, and when the date had to move, the organisers simply picked a new Sunday in the fall. Moving it also gave the organiser a chance to invite more colleagues. The excitement was still there months later: a week before the event, the organiser wrote to us to confirm, and again the day before.
“We are all looking forward to it!”
— the organiser of the group
How the session went
The class followed our usual Puppy Yoga format. It started with 30 minutes of gentle, beginner-friendly yoga with a certified instructor, perfect for stretching out after a long week. Then the puppies joined: 15 minutes of yoga with puppies wandering freely between the mats, followed by 15 minutes of play, cuddles and photos. Our hostesses and the breeder supervised every interaction, and the puppies had water and rest breaks throughout.
This time the room was full of small puppies, including mini dachshunds, and many of them chose the coziest spot they could find: a lap. A few dozed off in the middle of the stretching, others went from mat to mat looking for the next person to say hello to. The studio was still dressed up for Halloween, which made for a festive backdrop for the group photo at the end.
A simple way to get a team together
Groups of colleagues, departments and teams book Pups&Yoga for team building, wellness days, birthdays and end-of-year celebrations. It is easy to organise: you pick a date and a time, we take care of the puppies, the instructor, the mats and the set-up, and everyone just shows up in comfortable clothes. Bigger groups can be split across several sessions, or choose Puppy Playtime, a no-yoga format where small groups take turns in a secure puppy area.
