Dog Parent Yoga
Calm for you. Calm for your dog. Together.
Yoga, movement and breath practices for the devoted, sometimes-stressed dog parent. Designed around the life you actually live - by a dog mum yoga teacher.
"Being a dog parent is full of love - but also stress, worry, and sometimes complete exhaustion."
If you've ever held your breath during a walk, felt tension in your shoulders after a vet visit, or lay awake worrying — you're not alone. I created this course because I live it too, with my rescue dog Alfie. And yoga is what keeps me grounded, calm, and compassionate — no matter what life (or my dog) throws at me.

I'm Anja — yoga teacher of over 20 years, Ayurvedic practitioner, and completely devoted dog mum to Alfie, a French Bulldog rescue.
I never actually wanted a puppy. When we said a rescue, we imagined a scruffy adult dog. And then the rescue called about an emergency litter — six puppies, hand-reared because their mum was too malnourished and unwell to feed them. Three survived. My husband said maybe we should just go and have a look.
We came home with Alfie.
He had his first seizure before he was six months old. Then another. Then clusters — violent tonic-clonic seizures that left us terrified. We moved a mattress to the living room floor to sleep beside him. We watched every twitch, every stretch. Is that a seizure? His MRI showed hydrocephalus; his brain was not normally formed. The neurologist was wonderful. The medication, the prescriptions, the monitoring — it became a full-time job on top of everything else.
We were exhausted. Hypervigilant. And completely in love with him.
Yoga is what kept me from unravelling. Not just the poses but the breathing, the grounding, the ability to regulate my own nervous system so I could be present and calm for him. Restorative poses when I was depleted. Breathwork before a walk, when I could feel the tension already rising in my shoulders (he can get very reactive in traffic). Simple movement to come back into my body after a frightening episode.
I made this course because it works. And because I think a lot of us are living this; the worry, the hypervigilance, the love that makes it all worth it — and nobody talks about what it does to us.
These practices are for you. So you can keep showing up for your dog.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. These practices are for you, the human. Your dog can be on the mat, on the sofa, or in another room entirely. The point is that you regulate — and that benefits you both.
-
None at all. These are gentle, accessible practices. If you can breathe and lie on the floor, you can do this.
-
3 to 20 minutes. Most are short enough to do while your dog naps, or before and after a walk.
-
I made these specifically for that. When you're depleted, you don't need a 60-minute practice. You need 5 minutes that actually work. Start there.
