Stretch, Snuggle, Repeat: What to Wear for Yoga With Your Pet

Yoga with your pet isn’t just a trend—it’s a full-body joy practice. But comfort matters, especially when your furry co-star is involved. Whether you’re flowing through sun salutations or just snuggling in savasana, what you wear can make or break the experience. My go-to picks are pajamas, leggings, and bike shorts—anything that moves with you and feels like a hug. These pieces offer the stretch and softness you need to stay present in your body and connected to your breath.

Safety is just as important as comfort. If your pet is likely to engage with your skin—whether through cuddles, curiosity, or playful paws—make sure that skin is covered to avoid accidental scratches or bites. Pockets are a bonus, especially for treats or toys that help keep your pet engaged. And if you’re a sock lover like me, opt for textured soles or nonslip options to stay grounded during your practice.

The truth is, you can wear anything from sweats to jeans, but if you want maximum mobility and ease, softness and stretch are key. Your yoga practice should feel like home—whether you’re flowing solo or with your pet. So wear what makes you feel safe, soft, and strong. The goal isn’t to look a certain way—it’s to feel fully present, fully supported, and fully you.
