\"Tails<\/a>Is your St. Bernard spiritual? Does your Maltese meditate? Has your English bulldog sought enlightenment? Na-mutt-sta! Contemplative canines and their humans can practice their \u201cdownward facing dog\u201d \u2013 together \u2013 at a Doggie and Me Yoga class, Jan. 31, at The Original Paw Pleasers in North Park.<\/p>\n

Offered by Leash Your Fitness, a dog-focused, boot-camp-style fitness\/adventure group, dog-a yoga is a workout disguised as fun with your furry friend, according to Dawn Celapino, Leash Your Fitness president.<\/p>\n

\u201cPet owners hate looking at their dog\u2019s sad eyes when they leave to go to the gym,\u201d Celapino said. \u201cWe\u2019ve designed \u2018Leash Your Fitness\u2019 classes to get in your dog\u2019s walk and your workout, and to mentally stimulate your dog and really tire him out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Celapino, whose workout buddy is her Cairn terrier, Jack, is quick to add that the class isn\u2019t just for seasoned yoga practitioners.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to get people who don\u2019t like to exercise out and moving with their dogs,\u201d Celapino explained. \u201cI have an 80-year-old lady (in class). Even if you\u2019ve never done yoga, this is a nice introduction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doggie and Me Yoga will start at 11:30 a.m. with a half-mile walk to Balboa Park, where participants will do yoga poses, and continue with a return walk to Paw Pleasers for indoor, seated poses. The class concludes with a doggie ice cream social from 12:30 to 1 p.m. in Paw Pleasers\u2019 bakery parlor.<\/p>\n

The store\u2019s first yoga class in November was supposed to be a one-time event but \u201cit was so popular people wanted it to continue,\u201d Celapino said, adding that she\u2019s had everything from Chihuahuas to a Great Dane as \u201cstudents.\u201d Another dog-a yoga class (starting at 1 p.m.) is set for Feb. 21 at Camp Run-A-Mutt on India Street in Middletown.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are surprised at what a great workout they get. And when you\u2019re calm, your dog\u2019s calm,\u201d Celapino said.<\/p>\n

Pre-registration is required for the Jan. 31 class. To register, call (619) 822-3296 or stop by The Original Paw Pleasers, 2525 University Ave., in North Park. Cost is $15 per person\/dog duo, which covers the walk, class, ice cream for dogs and to-go goodie bags.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
