Summary: Over time, dogs have proven to be well-adapted for human life, expressing qualities of loyalty and bravery, being emotionally flexible and responding to commands. Some people love their dogs like children, and take them everywhere they go. Why should dogs not then begin to participate in some of the activities that humans do? Well, this latest trend among pet owners answers that question in a very unique way.
In this free video series, learn about a new health and fitness activity called
doga, that is, yoga performed by dogs and their masters. This practice involves traditional poses, like the sun salutation, and the downward dog, modified for the purposes of allowing the dog to perform them comfortably. The idea is not necessarily to stretch your pet to the limits, but rather to let them be involved in as much of your life as possible.
Our yoga instructor will lead you through several different poses for both you and your dog, with special techniques for helping your dog get into position. Enjoy these free doga videos.
