Your doga flow

—

Poses drawn from commonly published doga guidance. Skip or modify anything your dog seems unsure about, and stop immediately if your dog shows signs of stress (stiffening, lip-licking, trying to move away, growling).

🏆 Why this is different

⚖️Filters poses by your dog's actual size — lift-based poses like Chair Pose and Wheelbarrow are only suggested for small dogs, since lifting a medium or large dog's body weight isn't appropriate, unlike generic "15 doga poses" lists that show every pose to everyone.
🤝Adjusts for handling comfort — a dog who isn't used to being restrained gets a gentler, lower-contact flow instead of poses that could stress them out.
🦴Joint/mobility aware — flagging a mobility concern shifts the session toward bonding and stillness poses and away from stretch-heavy ones.
⏱️Actual timed flow, not a static list — each pose gets a duration and the whole session is budgeted to your selected length, so you can follow along in real time.
🔀Shuffle for variety — regenerate a fresh valid sequence any time instead of doing the same fixed list every session.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What is doga (dog yoga)?

Doga is a bonding practice, created by yoga teacher Suzi Teitelman in 2001, where you and your dog do gentle stretches, light massage, and relaxed breathing together. It draws on yoga principles but is its own dog-inclusive activity focused on calm and connection rather than a medically recognized therapy.

Is doga safe for all dogs?

Doga is generally gentle, but it isn't one-size-fits-all — dogs with arthritis, orthopedic conditions, or recent injuries may need modified poses or should skip certain movements entirely. Always check with your vet first, especially for senior or less mobile dogs.

Can large dogs do doga?

Yes, but hands-on lift poses like Chair Pose or Wheelbarrow are generally only appropriate for small dogs that are comfortable being lifted. Large dogs can still fully participate in warm-up, downward dog, bonding, and stillness poses.

What if my dog doesn't want to participate?

Never force a pose — let your dog lead the pace, and if they seem uninterested or stressed, simply sit or lie beside them and focus on your own breathing. Many dogs relax into the practice once they see it's low-pressure.
