Yoga Goes to the Dogs with 'Doga'


Marc Lallanilla, Life's Little Mysteries Assistant Editor

With people taking their dogs to restaurants, to dog-friendly resorts and to dog masseurs, it was probably only a matter of time before dog yoga, or "doga," classes came around the bend.

At Morris K9 Campus in Randolph, N.J., mellow sitar music fills the air as several dog owners stretch, flex and practice deep breathing with their pooches by their sides. But the dogs are not just passive observers, the New Jersey Star-Ledger reports: Yogis also encourage the animals to perform moves like back stretches and (of course) downward dog.

The pups in this yoga class are noticeably quiet and well behaved. "He shuts off in every doga class, and he's super high-energy" normally, Robin Lash, a trainer at Morris K9 Campus, told the Star-Ledger, referring to her border collie, Gabriel.
