If you’re a dog lover or a yogi, this is a Sussex date idea you don’t want to miss. Yogi Paws in Brighton offers a relaxing yoga session while the puppies roam around, offering plenty of cuddles and licks.

All the puppies come from loving homes, with the team visiting each one to ensure they are raised in a caring environment.
