Free Doga Warm-Up Session – 3:15pm
Start the afternoon with a free 30-minute Doga (Dog Yoga) taster session before the main event!
What is Doga?
Doga is an ethical form of dog yoga created by Mahny Djahanguiri in 2012. Designed for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages, Doga strengthens the bond between you and your canine companion through yoga breathing, visualisation, gentle movement, chanting and relaxing canine massage.
In this fun introductory session, you'll learn a selection of techniques from Mahny's Doga practice that can help reduce stress and anxiety for both humans and hounds. It's the perfect way to relax, connect with your dog and get warmed up before the show.
Why do yoga when you can Doga?
Join us at 3:15pm for this free 30-minute taster session and get both you and your four-legged friend ready for the main event.
Please bring a yoga mat.
