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."

"When people have crazy animals, it's usually because the people themselves are crazy." Ain't that the truth!

This is likely another tax subsidized program for liberals and their dogs...

Have you notice the trend in advertising to use Yoga to sell many products and services...allergy meds, gum, clothing, fitness,etc.?

Figures. They're the same outfit that came up with the "Stripper Aerobics" class....

The nice thing about "Stripper Aerobics" is that it can get your heart rate up even if you're not exercising.
