If your dog walks on your yoga mat or gets in your way as you perform yoga poses, perhaps he is trying to join you! Maybe you should both give the new yoga craze called 'doga' a try.
Doga combines the practice of yoga with dog massage and stretching to create a fun, relaxing way to connect with your canine. Since both practicing yoga and spending time with a pet can lower blood pressure and stress levels, improving human health, why not put them both together? And the massage, stretching and bonding time benefit the dog, as well.
Seattle yoga instructor and massage therapist Brenda Bryan teaches doga classes in Capital Hill, West Seattle and Bellevue, blending classic Hatha yoga poses, massage and gentle stretching for both yogi and dogi. The relationship between human and dog is her primary focus.
