Yoga has been around for over 5,000 years. Dogs have been domesticated by humans for thousands of years. What happens when you put the two together? The newest exercise craze that's sweeping Hong Kong - doga.
Doga is a way for owners to use the ancient exercise of yoga to achieve harmony with their pets - through mediation, stretches, and massage. Some say it's a good way to stay healthy. Experts have long touted the health benefits of yoga, including a stronger core, better posture, lower blood pressure, and less stress. It can also help with asthma, back pain, multiple sclerosis, and insomnia, according to WebMD.
