Either way, Brenda Bryan is taking her Seattle-based "doga" classroom on the road, with a series of Hatha yoga poses incorporating a Barking Buddha into the mix. Her new book details guidelines and tips for practicing yoga with your dog, along with observations on the many ways dogs bring joy and harmony into our lives. With yoga poses for every intention, from Gratitude and Perspective, to Joy and Letting Go, Bryan presents her signature method of connecting with our mats and our dogs at the same time.
