Why your dog is welcome at Yoga Nidra

Pets are family. They bring comfort, and they sense your calm. Here's why I love it when they join in.

If you share your home with a dog or cat, you’ll know they’re far more than pets. They bring joy, unconditional love and a great deal of comfort.

For many students it’s deeply nourishing to have a pet curled up beside them during practice, and it seems to be nourishing for the pet too. They sense your relaxation and often settle into it with you.
