Founded by Francesca Albo and Lea Burbidge Izquierdo, Puppy Sphere has scaled its puppy yoga concept into a broader experiential wellness platform with 13 studios, corporate wellness programs, brand partnerships, and live activations, serving more than 450,000 customers and partnering with companies including Google, Amazon, Netflix, TikTok, and the NBA.
