Doga: Yoga for Dogs

Summary: Let me think... How can I exploit the yoga craze?.... Doga!
Review: I picked up this book expecting it to be yet another crass attempt to exploit the ancient art and science of yoga for personal material gain and, well, I was pretty much right. I imagine this book being dreamed up by a yoga teacher thinking, "Hmmm... How can I make a name for myself in this yoga game and maybe squeeze out a couple bucks while I'm at it?" Perhaps I give too much credit to the author. Though the book contains some cute bits that doggie lovers will surely enjoy, "Doga" adds nothing to either the great bodies of yoga or pet literature. In fact, it may even detract from both. I give the book two stars because, who knows, maybe dogs will enjoy reading "Doga," or chewing it.

Summary: What a riot!
Review: 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!

Summary: Fun book for Yoga lovers and Dog lovers alike!!!
Review: 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!!
