Ashtanga Doga

My friend Yonette and I tried a 3-hour yoga class a couple weeks ago and it was "enlightening" and helpful, minus the chanting and mantra. I see it's value for stretching and flexibility. I so should do some sort of downward dog thing everyday. And speaking of dogs, there are Doga classes available for you to do with man's best friend. Ok, I love Tucker as much as is humanly possible, but really, I could NEVER even imagine him finding his center long enough to stop eating socks and getting toilet paper off of the roll and streaming it through the house. Instructor Kari Harendorf says "We're going to Om, but I want you to actually Om towards the dog," in front of a yoga class for dogs and their owners. "Inhale, Ommmm, Ommmm," she continued. I'm sure Tucker would think I was completely out of my mind if I were to Om towards him. For a clever and funny take on Doga, see this Youtube video, http://uk.video.yahoo.com/watch/696530/3131599. Is it pronounced Dog-a or like Yoga, but with a D? If they want to come up with this new word, they should explain how to say it at the very least.
