Sip, Stretch, and Snuggle: Puppy Yoga Gets a Refreshing Twist

If your idea of a perfect weekend involves a yoga mat, a cold drink, and a whole lot of puppy cuddles, you’re in luck – Australia’s newest wellness trend is here, and it’s equal parts zen and zoomies.

Two up-and-coming Brisbane-born brands, Sip Coco and Yoga Paws, have teamed up to create a wellness experience that’s sending Australians both coconuts and barking mad.

Yoga Paws has taken the country by storm since launching its first puppy yoga session in September 2024. Now running classes on the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Sydney, Perth, and soon Adelaide, the concept blends a guided hour of yoga with irresistible puppy interactions. It’s not just for the ‘aww’ factor – these sessions help socialise pups through partnerships with breeders and rescue organisations, making it the first nationwide program of its kind.

Enter Sip Coco – a new no-fuss coconut water brand that’s all about keeping hydration simple, natural, and delicious. Over the next six weeks, they’ll be bringing their chilled bottles to classes across Australia, giving participants the perfect post-pose refresh.

The partnership kicked off in Brisbane at The Centre of Dance Bulimba, where downward dogs met actual dogs, and coconut water flowed as freely as the good vibes. Upcoming Sip Coco x Yoga Paws sessions include:

• Sun Aug 10 – Jingster Yoga, Sunshine Coast
• Sat Aug 16 – House of Motion, Gold Coast
• Sun Aug 24 – Yoga Studio Bondi Junction, Sydney
• Sun Aug 31 – Eastside Yoga & Pilates, Adelaide
• Sun Sep 7 – Inspiration Space, Perth

It’s the kind of weekend wake-up that ticks every box – mindful movement, puppy love, and hydration that’s as good for you as it tastes. And with two young, fast-growing Aussie brands at the helm, this feel-good collab might just become your new favourite ritual.
