At Pawsome Yoga, our mission is to create joyful, safe, and mindful experiences where people and puppies can connect through the practice of yoga. We are committed to running our business in a way that is ethical, transparent, and caring towards our puppies, participants, staff, and wider community.

1. Animal Welfare

• Puppies’ health, safety, and comfort are our top priority.
• All puppies are sourced from responsible, ethical breeders or licensed partners, never from puppy farms or unethical environments.
• Sessions are designed with the puppies’ wellbeing in mind. They are limited in length, with plenty of breaks, rest spaces, fresh water, and appropriate supervision.
• Puppies are never forced to interact with participants and are free to rest or play as they wish.
• We work in line with animal welfare legislation and veterinary guidance.

2. Human Wellbeing

• We aim to create a safe and inclusive space for all participants, regardless of age, background, or ability.
• Yoga classes are led by qualified instructors who adapt sessions to meet different needs.
• We maintain high standards of hygiene and safety to protect both puppies and participants.
• Participants are briefed on how to handle and interact with the puppies respectfully.

3. Community & Responsibility

• We support responsible pet ownership by educating participants on puppy care and welfare.
• Wherever possible, we partner with local rescues or charities to help raise awareness and funds.
• Our events are designed to spread joy and mindfulness while promoting respect for animals.

4. Environment & Sustainability

• We are committed to minimising our environmental impact by reducing waste, recycling where possible, and using eco-friendly products.
• We encourage venues and partners to adopt sustainable practices in line with our values.

5. Transparency & Accountability

• We are open and honest about how our sessions are run, and we welcome feedback to continually improve.
• Concerns regarding animal or participant welfare are taken seriously and acted upon promptly.
• We review this policy regularly to ensure it reflects best practices in animal care, yoga instruction, and ethical business.
