Downward Dog

If you missed last week's issue of Life Magazine, they did an article on the different kinds of Yoga sweeping the nation: Yoga and Flamenco Dance (Yomenco), Yoga and Pilates (Yogilates), and Yoga and Bondage (Yoghurt). Ok, I made that last one up.

One Yoga twist featured was Ruff Yoga as taught in "eight major cities." Fanny sat up and took notice.

Fanny: How come you never take me to Yoga Class?

Laura Jane: They don't allow dogs in our local class.

Fanny: We need to move to one of the eight major cities where they recognize that dogs need Yoga too.

Laura Jane: You do understand that Yoga is not a food?

Fanny: There could be food involved, after everybody gets through playing on the floor. There could be special Yoga snacks. I'm thinking pretzels. We could call it: Yogacks!

Laura Jane: I predict, little grasshopper, that your path to enlightenment is a long and rocky one.

Fanny: Yoganers: Yoga and wieners! Yogacon: Yoga and bacon! Yogasages: Yoga and sausages! Yogips: Yoga and chips! Yogiver: Yoga and liver! Yogookies: Yoga and cookies!
