Saturday Doga at Westside!

Little Remy's favorite pose is The Canine Crunch!

Tatum in Pointer Warrior 2. Inspired by a dog physical therapy class that Tatum's mom took....this pose is good for your dogi's core and ankle and knee joints!

Little Elsa runs to the treat bowl at the end of every class!

The Puppy Part 2!

OMG you guys… the puppy came back to class on Saturday!  She has grown, but was still teeny tiny adorable.  See for yourself:

Oh puppy you are growing so fast!

Gus next to puppy actual size.

The puppy's mom, Krista.

Yes of course I took more pictures, but I’m only sharing three….because maybe not everyone is as enchanted by Puppy Porter as I am. 

Anyhoo, Yogis and Dogis,  I am so happy to be teaching a level 2 (!!) Doga class at Westside Yoga and Doga beginning in April!  Tuesday nights at 6.  And of course Saturday Doga  every Saturday at 10:30 am.  AND March 30 Eastsiders!  I’m crossing the bridge to teach at The Seattle Humane Society!

Also…stay tuned for doga demos ect. at various Mudbay Locations coming this spring! 

Lots of love as always,

-Brenda, Gus, Nelson

Dog First Aid Class at Westside Yoga and Doga

Mags with fake dogs

We hosted a doggy first aid seminar at Westside on Saturday.  It was all day and packed full o’ information.  The teacher brought in all these fake dogs that we could practice bandaging and splinting and muzzling and performing CPR on.  Mags, my business partner’s daughter was in stuffed dog heaven in this cornicopia of faux dog fun! 

We have scheduled another such seminar for the end of April…email me if you are interested.

Lots of love,

Brenda, Gus, Nelson

Art.

A drawing of a model and her pit bull by fashion illustrator Jean Philippe Delhomme

I came across this drawing on a blog called the Unknown Hipster www.unknownhipster.com.

It’s not a dog blog, but the drawings are beautiful and I was smitten with this one of a model and her dog that she brought to the shoot.

Well Yogis and Dogis,

Looking forward to class this weekend and the dog first aid seminar!  Oh and stay tuned for info on our upcoming party and Julie Clegg art show in April!

Love you lots and lots!

Saturday Doga;Puppy Edition

This teeny tiny puppy showed up for class on Saturday.  Porter is just a few weeks old!  His mom, Krista, bartends at the pub where I was having a pint of cider the night before.  Apparently I start talking about dogs to bartenders after drinking cider. 
Poised and Ready

Gus Must

I decided to take Gus to the studio this morning with me where I was meeting a friend to practice people yoga.  I guess he’s so used to being onthe mat with me for doga he decided he should find a way to join me in every pose.  He even managed to sneak into my pigeon pose!
