Delightful Book.

If you've ever done yoga and you have a great appreciation for the zen of dogginess, you will enjoy this book. Even if you just like dogs, it should give you a laugh, but you'll probably appreciate it more if you're familiar with the ways of yoga. It is definitely for people with a sense of humor--if you are looking for the definitive book on yoga positions and expect to teach yourself how to get into the perfect positions, well, go take a class from a human who can make sure you are properly aligned. This book is fun, relaxing, and may inspire you to do yoga...but the most therapeutic thing about it is the laughter.

Interesting viewpoint

Dogs actually do breath correctly, humans don't unless taught. Dogs stretch when they sense the need, humans don't unless taught. Dogs are amazing to watch, there are many things innate to dogs (and most animals), that humans don't do, but probably should. Breathing - Humans breath shallow inadequate, terse breaths. Why? Because we've forgotten how to breath correctly. How do we learn to breath correctly? Well, at birth. Once born the baby should be placed on the mother's chest, before the cord is severed and taught to breath. There, feeling the breath come in and out of the mother, feeling the heart beat, the baby learns to breath. Most mothers will have to ensure THEY are breathing correctly to pass this Vital Information onto the babe. Since dogs breath naturally, pups are brought close to the mother, umbilical chord usually intact and feel the breathing and the heartbeat and become one with the mother. Okay... think about it. And that's precisely what this book does, it gets one thinking about things, that perhaps we normally wouldn't take the time nor have the inclination to discover. I enjoyed the read, it was cute, informative and being a dog owner I could relate.

DOGA is great for Dog Lovers & Yoga fans!

This book is really great. I sent it to a friend along with the "DOGA" calendar ... she loved it! She loves dogs and she also does YOGA. You will love this book. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! This is the first time I have actually done a review but this book was well worth it!

What a riot!

My bookshelves are bursting at the seams and so... with great reluctance I've tried to stop myself from being more books. And I've been really pretty good at it too! But, this book I just had to have! As a long practicing yogi (way before it was popular) and dog owner I thought this was just the coolest book ever. After browsing through it several times at my whole health practicioner's office, I finally bought it. Dogs are very natural "dogis." We could learn many lessons from their breathing, stretches, and positions, a point that becomes really evident in this book. Written by an obviously experienced yoga instructor, the dogi wisdoms and human tips give the human reader a lot of good information on practicing yoga, though I would not put this in the serious yoga instruction book category. A really fun book!

Fun book for Yoga lovers and Dog lovers alike!!!

What a fun book!! The author gets into the mind of the subjects ("Dogis")!! The book is plumb full of AWESOME pictures of dogs being....well dogs, but also naturally acting out popular yoga poses. Demonstrates that we should take a cue from our four legged pals, they know how to really stretch, relax and get in touch with themselves!!
