Colette Barry, who operates Barry's Health and Wellness Center in Westlake, told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer that dogs do not need yoga. Advertisement "They live and breathe it every day," she said. "People are the ones who need to develop the long-lost art of feeling connected with our Earth and the beauty it embodies inwardly and outwardly." At Barry's joint owner-pet sessions on Saturday morning she keeps people close to the floor so they will be near their dogs. The classes begin with owners massaging the dogs, which she believes increases their circulation and strengthens their immune systems. "Dog yoga is to help the owner experience their yoga session in a deeper spiritual way," Barry said.
