Doga means Yoga For Dogs

Published by ibellamy at 1:06 am under Uncategorized Edit This

Have you heard about Doga yet?  Doga is basically yoga for you and your dog. With your dog as your partner, you both work through a series of yoga poses together; the session may also include things like meditation and eye-gazing to strengthen the bond between you and your and dog .

It may sound a little odd to you, but consider the fact that many fans of Doga claim that their dogs are calmer, more focused, and easier to get along with. And for older dogs, the gentle stretches of doga can help ease aching joints, say Doga practitioners.

Suzi Teitelman, an American yogini, started the concept of doga when she noticed that her dog was extremely interested in her home yoga sessions. She started working on yoga poses with her dog Coali, and found that the dog greatly enjoyed the experience. Teitelman assumed that other dogs and their guardians could benefit from doga, so she started leading doga classes, and the trend quickly spread, especially among pampered pets .

If you are already a lover of Yoga , and a dog lover too, you might want to consider Doga !
