If you’ve got a dog and love yoga, this combo is for you.
Practicing yoga alongside your fury friend can enhance bonding, reduce stress for both of you, and improve flexibility.
When we practice asanas with our dog, we’re promoting a healthy lifestyle and strengthening the human-animal connection.
Engaging in yoga with your dog, which has been referred to as “doga,” fosters a unique connection. It also encourages mindfulness, and adds an element of playfulness to your practice.
Some cities have dog yoga or “doga” classes which is simply a yoga class with your dog by your side. It gives the animal a chance to socialise with other dogs in a calming space.
Otherwise , simply getting outdoors with your canine friend, and the kids, if you have little ones, is a great alternative.
