Yoga went back to 2500BC which depends upon breathing, relaxation and practices which relieve stress and depression. An American based yoga instructor Suzi Teitelman has a dream of dogs yoga classes or ”doga”. Texan couple Dan and Alejandra Borris have made the Dogs Yoga Calendar.
When Dan was living in Mexico, he was inspired by his friend Alejandra. Alejandra was a former yoga teacher which has an English dog, Otis. She expressed that her dog was pleased while she was doing yoga exercises. From this, Dan began to think if Otis does these yoga practices. Alejandra made the dogs pose certain yoga moves by cuddling them. But some yoga poses cannot be done by dogs due to their limit physical abilities. So Dan depends upon the computer to create the difficult yoga poses. Alejandra made the dogs so close to the camera and Dan do the rest. Dan affirmed that they did not submit dogs for any pressure.
The 2009 Dogs Yoga Calendar contained 26 images. They chose the funniest dogs and they also picked some dogs from the streets after taking the permission from their owners. They plan for the next year the puppy yoga. May be the idea of dogs yoga spread between the pets owners.
