Doing yoga with your dog can help increase the calming benefits of the routine for yourself as well as help your dog feel less stressed. Dogs are very in touch with the energy of their surroundings. They instinctively notice when you are stressed or anxious and respond by changing their own behavior. By slowing your breathing and calming your mind during yoga, your dog is able to pick up on your energy and also relax. Even though your dog can't do yoga itself, you can incorporate them into some of your poses. Throughout the session the goal is for you and your dog to be reading each others calming energy. It's also a great opportunity for you and your dog to spend some quality time together!
