Seattle studio offers yoga for dogs

A Seattle yoga studio is opening its classes to four-legged friends.

In its "doga" class, the "downward dog" pose is done with real dogs.

The goal is to bring the soothing spiritual benefits of yoga to our furry friends. Brenda Bryan just opened the studio about a month ago and says it's been a real hit with dog lovers and their pets alike.



Dogs like it because they get stretched and massaged. Owners like it because the get to spend quality time with their pets.

Brenda says "doga" is more than just rubbing bellies and scratching behind the ears. It's about connecting with your pooch on a deeper level.

She also says the classes teach the pups to relax and have their legs stretched and paws handled, which can really help when it comes to grooming.
