You've seen it on talk shows and news programs, read about it in newspapers and on the internet and heard about it on the radio; health and fun friendly Dog Yoga! This unique way of bonding with your pet while exercising has certainly taken America by storm. And there's no reason it wouldn't! Not since people first started taking their dogs for walks has there been such an entertaining way to exercise with your canine friend. Dog Yoga, finally a way to strengthen the connection between you and your pet while improving your health!


In the last few years, Dog Yoga has become more and more popular! In cities like New York City, Scottsdale, AZ and Hollywood, CA, Dog Yoga has certainly made an impression! Formal classes as well as informal classes have been created to teach more people about the benefits of Dog Yoga.

As Dog Yoga instructional courses have increased in popularity, the desire for an instructional Dog Yoga DVD became apparent. Prior to the creation of Amy Stevens' Yoga4Dogs, the first and only instructional Dog Yoga DVD, fans of Dog Yoga had to rely solely on classes. Attending a class was often difficult as you are forced to cater your schedule around someone else's. Additionally, courses are often taught by under qualified instructors. But with the release of Amy Stevens' Yoga4Dogs, enthusiasts can enjoy the work out on their own schedule!

Fans of Dog Yoga had a problem; they did not have the luxury of being able to do their Dog Yoga workout routine in their own home. While there is an abundance of traditional Yoga instructional DVD's for sell, prior to the release of Amy Steven's Yoga4Dogs, there was not a Dog Yoga DVD. With this release, it afforded Dog Yoga enthusiasts the opportunity to perform Dog Yoga in the comfort of their own home.

It's no surprise that so many people find Dog Yoga appealing! People love dogs, especially their own dog! Dog Yoga provides a unique way to strengthen the connection between you and your dog. Dog Yoga is special because you are not simply performing the poses alone with your dog watching, nor are simply helping your dog into the different positions. Both you and your dog work together to gain increased harmony with one another while getting some exercise too.

Dog Yoga is intended for all dogs. Whether your dog is a big dog, a small dog or somewhere in between, all dogs are able to participate. And of course, you do it with them. Practically every human and every dog can benefit from Dog Yoga!

Due to the fact that Dog Yoga was inspired by traditional Yoga, you can find some similarities in the poses. However, Dog Yoga is distinctive because it provides poses that involve both humans and dogs simultaneously. Traditional Yoga only provides positions for humans.

Amy Stevens' Yoga4Dogs is the perfect way to enjoy Dog Yoga right in the comfort of your own home. Amy offers step-by-step instructions for both you and your dog to follow along with! Create a connection with your dog that no other exercise can with Dog Yoga!
