Yoga for dogs!

SILICON VALLEY: What is good for the master must also be good for the pooch. Bizarre as it may sound, but an American chain of gyms is now offering yoga classes for dogs. Crunch, which has gyms in several U.S. cities, is currently offering master-and-pooch `Ruff Yoga' at its branch in New York and is considering offering the class in its other locations. "We do the traditional poses. The dogs just get incorporated," Crunch's yoga director Suzi Teitelman told Fox News, adding that the whole process was bonding time. Yoga guru and author Bruce Van Horn, who addresses the pup-yoga connection in his book and video `Healthy Living Wellness Program: Daily Yoga Class', says the relaxed state people achieve through yoga rubs off on their animals if they're nearby during the exercises. "It actually reduces the stress levels of animals," Van Horn said.
