Who can attend the class?
We often get asked whether children, pregnant women, or people who don't speak English can join us.
We would like to offer everyone the experience of yoga with pets, but we have certain rules in place.
Children
The most common questions we receive are about children participating in lessons. YES, children can come with us accompanied by a responsible adult, BUT the minimum age is set at 6 years. Unfortunately, younger children cannot attend lessons.
WHY?
Although we believe that children who love animals would enjoy the lessons, we are concerned about general safety and a pleasant environment for both children and dogs. After all, young children are not able to perceive animals in a way that would ensure the safety of both parties. Puppies often play with participants during the lesson, and they may use their teeth or jump clumsily at people as part of the game, and we would not want any injuries or tears to occur. The lessons are meant to be an enjoyable experience for everyone, and we stand by that.
Pregnant women

It should be noted that every woman should decide at her own discretion or based on her doctor's recommendation whether the class is safe for her and her baby.
We have already had expectant mothers in our classes, and they praised the experience, but every woman experiences pregnancy differently, and this needs to be taken into account.
The exercises are not extremely demanding and can always be modified, or a particular exercise or position can be omitted. It often happens that a puppy comes running up to you and instead of exercising, you end up cuddling, so don't worry that anyone will force you to do anything.
In any case, please consult your doctor before the class, and if they support your participation, we will be very happy to see expectant mothers in the class!
What if I can't speak English?
Due to the high interest among foreigners, lessons are usually conducted in English. If all participants speak Czech, it is possible to conduct the lesson in Czech.
Even if the lesson is conducted in English, you can ask the Czech-speaking assistants for details about the lesson. The exercises are easy to pick up, and don't be afraid to ask questions :)
In the case of private lessons, you can of course choose the language of the lesson yourself.
