Vinyasa for Dog People
Designed for folx who have already taken Intro to Yoga for Dog People, this class is a slightly more active 60-minute yoga class where we’ll practice the lessons we learned about how our dogs read our non-verbal language and invite them back into our practice more mindfully so that we can both work our bodies AND our brains. We’ll play around with poses and try incorporating a little bit of indoor agility work on our mats through basic hand targets, luring, and a mini introduction to groundwork and nose work.
We’ll cover:
- Being the agility set! A more active, heat-building standing series using treats
- Basics of proprioception/balancing groundwork for your dogs (TTouch)
- Tips & tricks for more ways to wear out your dog indoors (summer + winter)
- Community Circle for sharing, teacher Q&A, and troubleshooting
The beauty of doing this practice in your own home is that it is open to anyone of any experience and ability, including our sensitive, shy, and reactive dogs who may not have ever been comfortable in an in-person group training session with other dogs.
Class sizes will be kept small (10 or fewer dog & handler teams per class) so that we can create community for ongoing support and a more inviting space for sharing. We are passionate about our mission of intersectionality and diversity: BIPOC and foster families always attend for free!
