A calm teacher for you, a part for your dog
- A soft voice counts your breaths. Eight seconds each, so nobody is rushed.
- Time to settle your dog before every hold, and one tap for 15 more seconds.
- Every pose says what your dog does: lie close, hold a stay, walk under your bridge.
- A new session every day, shaped by your goal, your dog's age, size and energy.
"My dog will never stay still"
Almost everyone thinks that at first
Dogs are smart: they just need to learn what the mat means. Before your first session, Dogyoga shows you how to prepare your dog: a blanket next to the mat, a treat each time they settle, slow strokes, a short walk beforehand.
Do it the same way each time and, after a few sessions, your dog is used to it. Many dogs end up lying down as soon as the mat comes out.
And your dog never has to hold a pose. Wandering off is part of doga.
Start freeWhat is doga?
Yoga you share with the one who greets you at the door
Doga, also called dog yoga, is yoga practised with your dog on or beside the mat. You move through the poses; your dog joins in its own way. Some dogs lean against you in child's pose, some walk through the tunnel of your downward dog, some simply fall asleep during savasana. All of it counts.
Puppy yoga classes, where puppies wander between students, have made the idea famous. Dogyoga brings that feeling home, with your own puppy or grown-up dog, on your schedule.

How it works
From sofa to savasana in four steps
-
Introduce your dog
Name, breed, age, weight and the cues they know. Dogyoga learns whether you're practising with a 4 kg puppy or a 40 kg senior.
-
Pick today's goal
Relax, bond, wake up, stretch, soothe an anxious dog or burn energy. The ideal length and pace are preselected.
-
Practise with the voice guide
A soft recorded voice counts your breaths. Each pose gives you time to settle your dog before the hold begins.
-
Come back tomorrow
A fresh session is generated every day, avoiding the poses you just did. Your streak grows with every session.
One breath is eight seconds. Nobody is rushed.
Every pose has two parts. First you get into position and help your dog settle, with as much time as it takes. Then you hold for a counted number of breaths: about 8 on a slow day, 4 on a lively one. Need longer? Add 15 seconds with one tap.
The poses
51 dog yoga poses, each with a part for your dog
Every pose says what you do and what your dog does. A few favourites:
-
Downward dog… with a real dog
Your dog stands in your tunnel, or lies by the mat if they're too tall.
-
Shared bow
Your dog does a play bow, front end down and tail up: their natural stretch.
-
Cuddle child's pose
Your dog snuggles up against you. Being close is enough.
-
Guardian warrior II
Your dog practises a stay while you hold strong.
-
Puppy pose
Your dog lies in front of you, nose to nose.
-
Goddess & high five
Your dog gives you a high five with a front paw.
-
Butterfly nest
Your dog curls up in your legs or rests a head on you.
-
Savasana for two
Your dog rests near you. Many dogs fall asleep here.
Inside a session
Shaped like a real yoga class
- Arrive
Gentle breathing, massage and a sniff hello, so your dog settles before anything asks for effort.
- Practice
Standing poses first, then kneeling, seated and lying down, the way a teacher would sequence them.
- Wind down
Twists and reclined stretches with your dog curled against you. Included from 10 minutes.
- Rest
Savasana for two, then a namaste and a well-earned treat.
Why dog yoga
Good for both ends of the leash
For you
- A practice you'll keep. Your dog is the most reliable training partner there is.
- Calmer evenings. Slow breathing and long holds help you switch off after work.
- Mobility at home. Stretch hips, back and shoulders without a studio or a commute.
For your dog
- A stronger bond. Touch, eye contact and quiet time together, every day.
- Less stress. Massage, sniffing and your slow breathing help anxious dogs settle.
- Gentle training. Sit, down, stay and paw practised in a calm setting, with treats.

Safety first
Your dog always joins freely
Dogyoga never asks you to force a position. Poses that involve lifting or high intensity are removed automatically for puppies, seniors, flat-faced breeds and long-backed dogs, and every session starts with tips for your dog.
If your dog has pain, arthritis or recent surgery, ask your vet before you start.
- Practise on a non-slip mat or rug.
- Wait an hour after your dog's meal.
- Keep water and a few small treats nearby.
- Stop if your dog pants hard, yawns a lot or walks away.
Questions
Dog yoga FAQ
What is doga?
Doga, or dog yoga, is yoga you practise with your dog beside you. You do the poses and your dog joins in its own way: lying against you, walking under your downward dog, holding a stay or simply resting nearby. It was popularised in the early 2000s and is now taught in studios around the world.
Is puppy yoga the same as doga?
Not quite. Puppy yoga usually means a studio class where puppies roam among the students. Doga is yoga with your own dog. Dogyoga brings the calm of puppy yoga home: you practise with your own puppy or adult dog, every day, for free.
At what age can my puppy do yoga?
Puppies can join from the day they come home, as long as they join freely. Dogyoga removes lifting, jumping and high-intensity poses for dogs under a year old and keeps sessions short, because growing joints need care.
My dog can't stay calm. Can we still do dog yoga?
Yes. Most dogs wander at first: they just need to learn what the mat means. Before your first session, Dogyoga shows you how to prepare your dog (a blanket next to the mat, a treat each time they settle, slow strokes, a short walk beforehand). After a few sessions most dogs are used to the routine, and your dog never has to hold a pose.
Does my dog need to know any commands?
No. Tell Dogyoga which cues your dog knows (sit, down, stay, paw) and it only picks poses your dog can follow. Many poses only ask your dog to be close to you.
Can large or senior dogs do dog yoga?
Yes. Dogyoga adapts every session to your dog's size, age and body type. Seniors, flat-faced breeds such as pugs and French bulldogs, and long-backed breeds such as dachshunds and corgis get gentler poses automatically.
How long is a session?
From 5 to 30 minutes. Each goal suggests a length, for example 15 minutes to relax together or 10 minutes to calm an anxious dog, and you can change it.
Do I need yoga experience?
No. Choose beginner, intermediate or advanced and every pose comes with step-by-step cues, a moving illustration and a calm voice guide.
Is Dogyoga free?
Dogyoga is free to start: your first two sessions are free, with every pose and the voice guide, and no credit card is needed. Premium, for unlimited daily sessions, is $14.99 a month or $99 a year (save 45% with yearly), and you can cancel anytime.
