Puppy Yoga Los Angeles: Complete Studio Guide, Schedule and What to Expect

Looking for puppy yoga in Los Angeles? You've found it. Puppy Yoga USA runs one LA studio — right on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City — where an all-levels yoga flow meets 30 minutes of pure puppy cuddles. If you're trying to figure out where the studio is, when classes run, what it costs, or whether you should bring your kid, this guide has everything you need to book with zero guesswork.

About Puppy Yoga Los Angeles

Puppy Yoga USA has been bringing the same simple idea to cities across the country: pair a real yoga class with real, adoptable puppies, and let the good mood do the rest. LA joins New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle as one of five studios — but it's the only one in Southern California, so if you've seen puppy yoga on your Instagram feed and wondered where to actually try it, Studio City is your answer.

Every class is 60 minutes: 30 minutes of all-level yoga, followed by 30 minutes of open puppy time. No yoga experience required — the flow is designed so beginners and regular practitioners can move through it side by side, and honestly, most people are there for the puppies anyway.

The format is deliberately simple because it's the puppies, not the yoga sequence, doing most of the work. You're not being asked to master a pose — you're being asked to show up, breathe, and then spend half an hour with a litter of adoptable puppies who have no idea any of this is supposed to be good for your nervous system.

The Studio City Studio

You'll find the LA studio at 12507 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA 91604 — a bright, clean space with natural light pouring in, which makes it easy to forget you're in the middle of one of LA's busiest boulevards. Free parking is available in the adjacent lot, and metered street parking lines Ventura Blvd if the lot fills up.

Yoga mats are provided, so you can show up empty-handed. Comfortable clothes and a water bottle are the only things worth bringing.

What's Included in Your Puppy Yoga LA Experience

• A 30-minute all-level yoga session led by an instructor

• 30 minutes of unstructured time with a litter of adoptable puppies

• A yoga mat for the session

• Specific breed pairings, announced 4–5 days before class on Instagram Stories

Classes run in small enough groups that you'll actually get puppy time, not just a glimpse from across the room.

What to Expect at Your First Class

Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early to check in and claim a spot on the floor — the earlier you settle in, the closer to the action you'll be once the puppies come out. The first 30 minutes are a genuine all-level yoga flow: expect standard poses, an instructor cueing the room, and a pace that assumes some people in the room have never done yoga before. Nobody's watching your form.

Then the puppies arrive. For the second half, mats become less of a yoga prop and more of a place to sit while puppies wander, nap, and climb into laps at will. There's no set choreography for this part — it's unstructured, which is the point. Staff stay in the room throughout to keep an eye on things, but otherwise it's just you, your mat, and however many puppies decide you're their favorite person in the room.

Best Times to Visit Puppy Yoga LA

Classes currently run Saturdays and Sundays, with sessions at 12 PM and 1:15 PM. Weekend slots move fast, especially once a breed pairing goes up on Instagram — golden retriever and labrador litters tend to book out first. If you have a specific weekend in mind, it's worth checking the schedule and booking a week or two ahead rather than the morning of.

Who Can Attend Puppy Yoga LA?

Puppy Yoga LA is built for all yoga levels — you don't need to have set foot on a mat before. Kids are welcome too: children ages 6-14 and up can join as long as they're with an adult 21 or older who can sign the waiver on their behalf.

Pregnant? The flow used in class is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but as with any new activity, check with your doctor first.

Private Puppy Yoga Events in LA

Planning a birthday, bachelorette, team offsite, or just want the studio to yourselves? Standard classes hold around 28 people, and groups of 8–10 can book directly online. For anything larger — or if you want full control over the date and time — the private event form is the way to go, and it's the same option LA teams have used for corporate wellness sessions.

Things to Do Near the Studio City Studio

Ventura Boulevard is one of the more walkable stretches in the Valley, so it's easy to build a full afternoon around your class. Grab coffee or an early lunch at one of the cafés along Ventura Blvd before your session, or browse the boutiques nearby afterward. If you want to stretch your legs (beyond the yoga mat), the Fryman Canyon trailhead is a short drive away and one of the better views in Studio City. CBS Studio Center is also right in the neighborhood, for anyone curious about LA's production history. Because the studio is on Ventura Blvd itself, you're within walking distance of most of it — there's rarely a reason to move your car twice in one afternoon.

If you're making a day of it, pairing an early class with a late lunch nearby is the easiest way to turn one booking into a full Studio City outing rather than a quick in-and-out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Puppy Yoga LA

Do I need to bring my own mat? No — mats are provided. Just bring comfortable clothes and, if you'd like, a water bottle.

Can I bring my own dog? No. The puppies in class can't socialize with outside dogs until those dogs are fully vaccinated, so class stays puppies-only.

What's the class capacity? Around 28 people for a standard class. Larger groups should use the private event form.

How much does it cost? Tickets are $51.80 per person for a standard 60-minute class.

Can I get a refund if I can't make it? Refunds aren't available, but exchanges or store credit are possible with at least 48 hours' notice.

How do I know which breed I'll meet? Breed pairings are posted to Instagram Stories 4–5 days before each class, so you'll know before you book which litter is coming through.

Is there anywhere to park if the lot is full? Yes — beyond the free adjacent lot, metered street parking runs along Ventura Blvd for overflow.
