Dog Yoga?

Yoga instructor Suzette Ackermann holds "Doya" or dog yoga classes. She performs the stretching techniques on dogs in an effort to help dogs "find their inner peace."

The slide show shows dog owners and their pets doing yoga moves with their dogs delicately balanced on their torsos. The dogs, many of whom are of the Toy variety, seem to be tolerating the bending, stretching and balancing as well as they can.

I'm sure they'd rather be running on the beach or curled up on their favorite blanky eating a treat!
