Just saw this on facebook and boy am I glad I don't subscribe to the New York Times. Can you imagine what would happen if Bart saw this? Yikes!In Chicago, Kristyn Caliendo does forward-bends with a Jack Russell terrier draped around her neck. In Manhattan, Grace Yang strikes a warrior pose while balancing a Shih Tzu on her thigh. And in Seattle, Chantale Stiller-Anderson practices an asana that requires side-stretching across a 52-pound vizsla.
Call it a yogic twist: Downward-facing dog is no longer just for humans.
Ludicrous? Possibly. Grist for anyone who thinks that dog-owners have taken yoga too far? Perhaps. But nationwide, classes of doga — yoga with dogs, as it is called — are increasing in number and popularity. Since Ms. Caliendo, a certified yoga instructor in Chicago, began to teach doga less than one year ago, her classes have doubled in size.
Now I could get into a little doggie meditation. This looks quite comfortable. There is nothing better than cuddling with (wo)man's best friend!
But wait just a minute ... is that Bella?? Is she stepping out on me already??? Geezz ... is this what I get after three good years together?

What are you saying - that yoga is for the dogs?
