Doga is Real

I have a hard time with this one. I’m a “live and let live” kind of dog, but my idea of meditating with humans is sleeping on the bed. I do Downward Dog pose daily, but when my humans do it, it is the time for me to lick their faces until they stop. Same with Upward Dog, Corpse Pose, Child’s Pose… they all require relentless dog kisses until they get a hold of themselves.



Could you imagine my body on top of A-Dog like that? I’m tempted to Photoshop an image for you. Above is Suzi Teitelman, Doga Instructor extraordnaire. In researching this topic, Suzi clearly loves what she does and is committed to her dogs. If you watched the video I posted on Tuesday (see it here), both the dogs and the humans seem to enjoy the practice.

Me? I’ll take a hike any day. Om.

Doga

Here’s a video introduction to dog yoga. Come back on Thursday for my thoughts…

Yoga Dog

Okay, you’d think it would be a photo of me in down dog (the position us canines have made famous), but I prefer Savasana or Corpse Pose. After playing a little Liz Phair on my guitar, I need to stretch and relax with a bit of yoga.

Dogs stretch and take care of their bodies, if you let them. We like to get a good workout – it makes us give you that awesome ear-to-ear doggie smile.

So, get out and play! We can both use some running around. And then we can eat, stretch and crash (I mean meditate.) Sounds pretty good, yes?

Here endeth the doggie lesson – woof!

Hey! That’s my head right there.
