If you have a dog and practice yoga at home, you may be regularly interrupted by a lick on the face or other shenanigans from your pet. (Anything in this video look familiar?)
You know that your furry friend just wants to be with you all the time, whether as a running buddy or on the mat. So why not involve Fido in your routine?
We previously introduced you to cat yoga. Now see how you can practice with the natural masters of the downward dog!
“Doga” is dog yoga that incorporates a combination of poses, massage and bonding time with your usual yoga exercises.
Doga can be a great bonding experience and carries many of the same benefits for your dog as yoga does for you, such as improving range of motion and promoting relaxation. If done in a class environment, it can also be a great socialization and training opportunity.
Want to find out if your dog can become your dogini? Get started with some free doga videos or check out your local scene to see if any nearby studios offer classes.
Your pup will probably agree — it’s a paws-down great idea!
