Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened. ~ Anatole France
What is doga? It’s a gentle style yoga incorporating your fur baby into the pose or apply acupressure and massage your four legged baby while in a yoga pose. It’s the most fun way to bond with your fur baby and get healthy at the same time.
Dogs are so loyal and devote their lives to us with unconditional love. So this is the perfect opportunity to return the favor with undivided attention. I can bet that most of us are guilty of checking our phones while at home with our dogs staring at us for our presence. Same with when we take them for walks. So Doga is the time to put our phones and devices away and be present with our fur babies. This is the most important aspect of Doga, which is why dogs love it. It’s really not about putting them in yoga poses. We don’t have to teach them yoga. They live yoga every moment. In fact they are our teachers. Where do you think Downward Dog came from? It’s sort of in the same line as the bumper sticker that says “Who Rescued Whom?” that people who rescued a dog displays around town. Lol!
The Benefits of Doga:
- Undivided attention for your dogi strengthening the bond
- Cultivate calmness reducing stress level for both you and your dogi
- Build strength and increase flexibility for both you and your dogi
- Have fun & share the love and laughter
- Save time by NOT having to choose between yoga and spending time with your fur baby
- Great way to socialize shy dogs or calm hyperactive dogs
- No yoga experience necessary to practice

I have been a fan of yin for years and I especially loved Steph’s class. She gives excellent instructions and the cadence, rhythm and quality of her voice is so beautiful- it really helped me go into an alpha brain wave and connect to my body and energy.

Stephanie’s yoga class got me out of my head and grounded. Helped to relieve the performance anxiety I was feeling from the father of the groom speech I have to give at the wedding.
