Yoga for Dogs

Regular yoga disciples are no doubt familiar with the “downward dog” position, but may be surprised to find, well, an actual dog in their class. “Doga,” or dog yoga classes offering a combination of stretches for both humans and their canine companions are being offered in studios throughout the US—and the rest of the world. If you’re looking for complete serenity and relaxation, you’ll probably want to stick to your usual classes, since some students complain about being distracted by their partners’ barking, inability to face the right direction, and incessant appetite for bite-sized treats. But to mix up your routine and spend some quality time with your pooch, it’s not a bad way to spend an hour.
