US gyms offer yoga for dogs
A chain of gyms in the US has started offering yoga classes for dogs.
Crunch is offering "Ruff Yoga" at its New York branch and is considering offering it in other locations.
During a recent session in Madison Square Park, the class attracted nearly 20 people and their pets.
"We do the traditional poses. The dogs just get incorporated," Crunch's yoga director Suzi Teitelman told Fox News.
Yoga guru Bruce Van Horn says the relaxed state people achieve through yoga rubs off on their animals if they're nearby during the exercises.
"It actually reduces the stress levels of animals," Van Horn said. "When people have crazy animals, it's usually because the people themselves are crazy."
