Kandice VincentA friend of mine recently asked me my secret to having a fit bod since she knows I hate hitting the gym or any type of sports activity. I gave her a wink and said, “Puppy yoga!”
Intrigued, she asked me what puppy yoga is. I couldn’t help but laugh as I explained that it’s exactly what it sounds like—a yoga session filled with adorable, playful puppies running around while you stretch and pose.
To help her (and you!) get started, here’s a list of the best puppy yoga places in Toronto. Let’s get ready to stretch, play, and have a whole lot of fun with these adorable pups!

If you’re looking to get your daily dose of cuteness, PawPals Puppy Yoga might just be your spot! Imagine spending 60 minutes doing gentle stretches while adorable puppies scamper around, ready to shower you with love and maybe a few licks.
PawPals takes pride in working with local breeders who love dogs as much as they do. They carefully vet their breeder partners to ensure that the puppies—and their moms—are well cared for, happy, and healthy.
The best part is that these puppies are getting ready for their forever homes, and this socialization time is just as beneficial for them as it is delightful for you. Just be sure to arrive on time to catch the all-important safety briefing before the fun begins.
Pro Tip:
PawPals announces the breed of puppies about a week before each class on their social media pages, so, if you’ve got a favorite breed, keep an eye out! But remember, the breed isn’t guaranteed.
