About Wellness Events with Rescue Animals
Why We Do What We Do
I started Pawga to change the way people see rescue animals. Instead of just sad stories, our events are about joy, fun, and building a community with shelter pets. When you come, part of your ticket goes straight to food, vaccines, and care for these animals.
What Actually Happens
Picture a yoga or art class, but with 10-15 rescue puppies or kittens running around. Some might nap on your yoga mat, others will try to steal your paintbrush. Honestly, if you want a perfect yoga pose, you’ll probably get interrupted. But that’s kind of the point - the chaos is what makes it good for the soul.
Pick Your Kind of Happy
- Puppy/Kitten Yoga: All-levels class, mats on us, chaos guaranteed.
- Art with Pups: Make a tote or canvas, supplies included, creative mess welcome.
- Pottery with Pups: Clay, chill, and puppies everywhere.
- Sometimes, we throw in a live music gig for good measure.
Who’s Welcome?
Everyone. Doesn’t matter if you’re into yoga or not. Bring your kids, your friends, even your date (date polama? - shall we go for a date?). We pop up in different cafes and studios across India - from Mumbai to Chennai.
The Real Stars
All animals are from local shelters and ready for adoption, no fee. We’re big on our Indian streeties - they need the most love. Every Pawga event is a chance to meet your new best friend, minus any pressure.
Why It Matters
You’re not just there for the puppy yoga for mental health, but also helping a streetie find a home and supporting animal welfare. If you’ve tried Pawga before, neevu Pawga try maadidira? (have you tried Pawga?). Join the #pawga fam.

My Story
People always ask, 'Is Pawga a shelter?' Nope, not yet, but boy, do we wish! We’re just a bunch who couldn’t ignore streeties and overloaded shelters. So, 2020, we started India’s first pet yoga thing. Puppies, kittens, yoga mats, and a whole lotta heart. We’re the loud ones, the proud ones, fighting for every little furball. Sometimes it’s tough, but one happy adoption? Worth everything.
My Work
Our Events - We host Puppy Yoga, Kitten Yoga, Art with Puppies, Puppy Parties, and Paddle for Paws pickleball all over India.
How it Works - Come for a chill yoga or art session, cuddle shelter pups or kittens, and maybe meet your new best buddy. Ticket helps shelters.
No Experience Needed - You don’t need to be a yogi or artist. Just show up, stretch, play, and have a good time for a good cause.
All-India Vibes - From Chennai to Delhi, Ahmedabad to Bangalore. Bengaluru, neevu Pawga try maadidira? (Have you tried Pawga?).
Adopt, Don’t Shop - We work with shelters to help streeties find homes. All animals at our events are up for free adoption.
