When a group books us once, it is a nice surprise. When groups from the same university come back again and again, it starts to feel like a tradition. Since 2024, Northeastern University groups have booked Pups&Yoga more than eight times. The most recent was on April 11, 2026, when about 20 people from a Northeastern group joined us from 1 to 2 PM at 33 West Street in downtown Boston for a private puppy yoga session.
A relationship that started in 2024
Repeat bookings tell us more than any review could. Over the past two years, Northeastern groups have come to us for eight-plus private events, which says a lot about how well the format fits campus life. Students and staff are busy, schedules shift every semester, and the activities that last are the ones that are easy to organize and easy to enjoy. A one-hour private session in downtown Boston checks both boxes.
A class sized just right
With about 20 participants, this group fit comfortably into a single class, which welcomes up to about 20 to 25 people. That size keeps the room lively without ever feeling crowded, and it gives everyone plenty of time with the puppies. Larger groups are split into several classes with short puppy breaks in between, but for a group of twenty, one early-afternoon hour is all it takes.
Inside the hour
Our Puppy Yoga classes run in three parts. First, about thirty minutes of gentle, all-levels yoga with a certified instructor, so first-timers and regulars are equally at ease. Then the puppies come in and roam between the mats for roughly fifteen more minutes of yoga. The final fifteen minutes are set aside for play, cuddles and photos.
Our team takes care of the rest: puppies, mats, playpens, supplies, setup and cleanup. Hostesses supervise every interaction, and the puppies, who come from the breeders and trusted rescue partners we work with, get breaks, water and rest throughout. Their well-being always comes first.
What the organizer told us
After the session, the organizer took a moment to write to us, and we were happy to read it.
“I also just want to say how amazing the experience was.”

Notes like this are a big part of why we love working with university groups. Whether it is a club social, a wellness break during a busy semester or a get-together before exam season, puppy yoga gives students a reason to slow down and spend an hour together.
