Sea of Stories

Book description

You probably know that some of yoga's best-known positions, or asanas, were inspired by the movements of dogs: the stretches known as Downward Dog and Upward Dog. What most people do not realize is that dogs have always been natural yogis, and their tranquility of mind, ability to be in the moment, and happy outlook are frequently the result of their long and devoted practice of doga. Many of the movements and positions that dogs do as part of doga can inspire and assist humans in their own yoga practice. Now, with help from a human interpreter, dogis Benny, Buster, and Cricket reveal the secrets of doga. Doga presents the major asanas of the practice, from the aforementioned Downward and Upward Dog, to the relaxing Happy Puppy and the restorative Pup's Pose. Each pose is shown by one of the dogis, with accompanying text that explains how humans can adapt these positions to their own practice. Also included are breathing techniques such as the hot breath, or pant, and tips on practicing with your own dogi. with Benny, Buster, and Cricket
