DOGA
Before Doga had a name, Coali was already on the mat.
Yoga. Dogs. Presence. A practice of remembering what animals already know.
Doga is the practice. Paw of Attraction™ is the teaching. Your animal is the guide.
Watch
What if your dog isn't the problem?
Pause. Breathe. Soften. Your dog already knows how to live in the Now.
Begin the Paw of Attraction JourneyHow it began
New York City, before September 11.
I was training as a yoga teacher. I began teaching private yoga to Elizabeth — Liz Swados — a composer, poet, playwright, director, and teacher. Liz had previously directed me in theater. We knew each other's work. We trusted each other's instincts.
Liz had three dogs. I had Coali, my black cocker spaniel. When we practiced together, the dogs were simply there — on the mat, between us, breathing alongside us. We didn't plan it. We didn't invite them. They arrived, and we noticed.
"We didn't invite the dogs into yoga. We noticed they were already there."
Animals don't need to be taught how to be present. We do.
The Paw of Attraction™ teaches us to follow their lead.
