I had previously tried puppy yoga (which I loved), but this time around, the stars of the show were Samoyeds — those big, white, fluffy snowballs of energy who are just as affectionate as they are dramatic.
Snow Pawttage is the first and only Samoyed Yoga in Singapore, and here’s what we think about it.
Our honest review of their session
The session includes 40 minutes of yoga and 20 minutes of dedicated playtime.
The moment the session began, the staff opened a little door and in came the dogs, bursting into the room like a group of toddlers released for recess. Some were doing zoomies, others went straight for the people seated on the carpeted floor, showering them with tail wags and surprise face licks.
Yoga mats aren’t provided here, but the floor is fully carpeted. Though if you prefer having your own mat, you can bring one along.
The actual yoga started shortly after the initial flurry of excitement, once the dogs had done their rounds of greeting every participant. But even then, I had to try really hard not to laugh every time one of them walked right up and plopped themselves on my mat mid-downward-dog.
At one point, I was in a yoga pose trying to record a video while a Samoyed treated my tripod like a toy. I’d highly recommend keeping your personal items safely aside and focusing on the experience instead.

Midway through the session, the dogs began to mellow out, which gave us the perfect window to focus on proper yoga poses with the instructor’s guidance. It’s during this part that things felt a little more structured, and I appreciated the chance to stretch and breathe.
After yoga, you’re free to feed the Samoyeds treats and give them all the belly rubs. But if yoga isn’t your thing but you still want to meet the dogs, you can actually opt for a play-only experience too.
Personally, I’ve always been more drawn to smaller puppies, so I still prefer the puppy yoga experience. But I have to admit, this one offered a whole different kind of experience with their energetic personality.
And if you’re seriously considering owning a Samoyed one day, this is a perfect opportunity to interact with them first.
If you’re planning to go, here are a few helpful tips:
- Arrive at least 20 minutes early for the briefing. They’re strict about punctuality.
- Wear light-coloured clothes because the dog fur will stick to everything.
- Bring a clean pair of socks – you’ll be asked to change into them before entering the play area.
- Avoid skirts, low-cut tops, and strong perfumes.
- There’s no changing room or toilet on-site, so come prepared.
