About Us

Founded in 2022, PawPals was born out of a deep love for yoga, community, and, of course, puppies. At the heart of it all is me, Geeta (Gigi), Wadehra, a longtime yoga practitioner, wellness enthusiast, and dog mom to the world’s most loveable sidekick: Teddy.

Like many great things in life, this business started with a “what if?”
What if we could bring the joy of movement and mindfulness together with the pure happiness of puppies? What if wellness could feel a little less serious, a little more playful and a lot more furry?

And just like that, Pawpals was born.

Since our first class, we’ve welcomed thousands of guests into our Trinity Bellwoods studio, turning simple moments into unforgettable memories. Our classes blend gentle yoga with guided breathwork, community connection, and puppy cuddles from adorable, adoptable dogs—all while supporting responsible breeders and rescue organizations.

My 14 year old best friend Teddy has been with me through it all, my professional cuddle consultant, and business partner. When I think about how I want our business to look, my guiding light is Teddy. ALL dogs should be treated with the same love and respect that I have had for my own.

Whether you're a seasoned yogi or just in it for the snuggles, we created Pawpals as a space for you to unwind, laugh, connect, and maybe even leave covered in puppy kisses.

We’re so glad you found us. Come by, roll out a mat, and meet your new best furry friends.

With love (and pawprints),
Gigi & Teddy
