New Age Fitness for Pooches: Doga and Paw-lates

August 20th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Many folks are familiar with popular dog sports like agility and fly-ball. But what about Doga (yoga for dogs) and Paw-lates (pilates)?

Since 2002, an increasing number of fitness studios and doggy day care facilities across the country have added “doga” and “paw-lates” classes to their rosters. Devotees point out that yoga comes naturally to dogs and cats. Anyone who’s taken a yoga class is familiar with the “downward facing dog” position, no doubt!

What do you think? Let us know what kinds of exercise or sports you do with your dog.
