Yoga With Dogs

The "Yoga With Dogs" class Sophia and I have been participating in is featured in an article in today's Seattle Times.

Sophia's not much help with Triangle Pose. She's too short and not strong enough for me to put any weight on her. Next time I go to class I will have to bring my blocks!


At the end of class we do some massage prior to relaxing in Corpse Pose. I put Sophia on my chest and cover us with a blanket and we try to relax. I think I am better at relaxing in this pose than she is.

K9 Karma - Yoga With Dogs!

I finally have found a Yoga With Dogs class! I have been searching for one since watching a show on Animal Planet last year called K9 Karma. The shows host was a yoga instructor and she led a yoga class where people brought their dogs and used them as props and also helped the dog relax using massage techniques. The dog, Charlie, was the narrator, and they would go and visit cool dog places around NYC. She had a baby and the show hasn't been back on the air since!

Anyway, I just found out about this so I missed the "workshop", but the classes start this Sunday! You can read more about it here:

From their flyer: Yoga With Dogs will help you
• Understand the basic principles of how yoga can benefit you and your dog,
• Learn to transport your dog to a deeper level of calm and relaxation,
• Discuss methods of relating your movement to your dog’s,
• Find fun ways to explore massage, stretching and relaxation techniques for both you and your dog.

I wonder if I will be able to get any pictures for my blog out of this...
