New York City dog owners can take their stressed-out pups to a city park for monthly classes in yoga. You heard. Yoga. For dogs. "Doga." The reasoning is that traditional yoga poses are based on animal movements anyway.

The Top 9 "Doga" Poses

9> Lotus of Joy: Wrap forelegs around master's leg just above knee, flex hips. Repeat.

8> Pretzel: Sit on haunches and curl around until you can touch the tip of your tongue to your genitals with your head tucked under your leg and one paw in the air.

7> Nidra of Rotation: Turn in a circle three times, then lie down.

6> Make the Owners Paranoid: Sit motionless and stare at a spot on the wall until forced to move.

5> Vet: Jaw on floor, quivering knees, blank stare, limp paw on empty wallet. And the dog looks unhappy too.

4> Dingle Berry: Plant ass on carpet and scoot.

3> Yippy Dog: Very difficult. Hyper little dog must remain motionless in any position for seven full seconds.

2> Pranayama of Discovery: Working with a partner, place nose at base of partner's tail and inhale.
