Dog yoga, taught properly. Gentle stretching, breathing and shared calm you can practise at home. Taught by a paid instructor from Wild Blue Dogs camp in Lake Tahoe, with Peach as the partner in the frame.

Doga is taught by Lauren, who ran it as a scheduled class three times a week at Wild Blue Dogs camp in Lake Tahoe. Peach is the partner in the frame, not the subject. See Peach's work or get in touch.
