I did puppy yoga with 10 adorable Yorkshire terrier pups, and it was the most fun I've had working out

It was a sunny winter's morning, and as I arrived at the central London location, Savage Garden, I was as excitable as, well, a puppy.

Each session features different breeds, and our pups for the day were 10 8- to 9-week-old Yorkshire terriers, from two different litters.

They were so cute I could barely contain myself.

I mean, really!? Who gave this little guy permission to be so precious?

The puppies at Pets Yoga sessions are all provided by breeders who want their dogs to socialize before they go to their new homes. It's good for them to be around people.

The breeders come to every session too, to make sure the puppies are well and are handled safely and correctly.

Our pups were due to start going to their new homes the very next day!

Pets Yoga has coming sessions with huskies and labradors, but they're all sold out — they told us that classes, which cost £35, or $45, are usually full within minutes.

After a cuddly welcome, it was time to do some actual yoga. The class would be broken down into sections: 10 minutes of play, 20 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes for a cuddle break, 10 minutes of yoga/stretching, and more playtime to finish.

Our teacher, Maiken Fortes, told us to avoid arm balances for the pups' safety, and she led us through a simple flow sequence including downward dogs (most appropriate), warrior poses, and chaturanga.

It was genuinely a good yoga session, but the little puppers scampering around were distracting — in the best possible way. You did have to watch out for both the puppies and their toys, though.

The puppies would occasionally let out a yap or even do a little pee or poop, but we all just laughed and their owners swiftly cleaned up any mess. I actually found it hilarious how little the Yorkies cared about our yoga and were just having a merry old time running around.

It was time for another cuddle break!

As I sat on my mat surrounded by the incredibly sweet and tiny pups, I certainly felt pretty relaxed.

Fortes told me that some people came just to play with the puppies and didn't care about the yoga.

"It's nice to learn about yoga in a nonintimidating environment," she told me before we went into our final stretch session.

Tim Chung

Some people might argue that the puppies will help you relax even more, but Fortes said that really, it's just meant to be fun: "A bit of yoga therapy and a bit of puppy therapy."

Tim Chung

Needless to say, it was the most fun I've had doing yoga.

If you're actually after a serious yoga session, puppy yoga is not for you. But if you just want to have a fun, uplifting, relaxing time, it's perfect.

I can see how some serious yoga classes are intimidating for beginners, so I also think Pets Yoga sessions would be a good way to get into it and learn some basic moves in a fun environment.

Before my session, I was concerned that perhaps the concept was a gimmick and the pups wouldn't be looked after well, but it appeared that couldn't be further from the truth. The sessions are meant to benefit the puppies, the breeders, and those fortunate to nab a spot in the classes.

I'm not sure I can ever go back to puppy-less downward dogs.
