Dogtopia and YogaSix Team Up for “Paws and Poses” to Redefine Everyday Wellness for Pet Parents

“Paws and Poses” brings together time on the yoga mat with trusted dog daycare and enrichment to reduce stress, build consistency, and support physical and emotional well-being for both people and dogs. Throughout the month, participating locations will offer cross-promotions and local experiences that help pet parents fit self-care and a little downward dog into their schedules, while their dogs enjoy social play, activity and attentive care.

The February initiative is part of a broader Dogtopia x YogaSix collaboration in 2026, spotlighting the role routine, community and intentional care play in supporting the mental and physical well-being of both pet parents and their dogs. The partnership launched last month with national digital promotions and collaborative social media moments, with additional consumer-focused activations planned in the months ahead, including a National Puppy Day celebration in March.

“Dogs thrive when they are active, social, and engaged, and that positive energy and purpose carries over to their families,” said Neil Gill, President of Dogtopia. “Paws and Poses gives dog parents peace of mind to focus on their own well-being, knowing their dogs are also getting the structure, activity, and enrichment they need.”

“Consistency matters when it comes to wellness, especially for pet parents balancing busy schedules,” said Hillary Sherman, President of YogaSix. “This partnership brings movement and community together in a way that fits naturally into daily routines.”
