🎉🐾 Kick Off 2025 with K9Yoga’s 1-Minute Workout!
💪 1 Minute Skill: Stand Strong 💪
Our first workout of the year focuses on a cornerstone K9Yoga exercise designed to improve joint stability, balance, and overall body control.
✨ Why Stand Strong Matters:
✅ Activates stabilizing muscles for better joint support.
✅ Encourages balanced weight distribution for improved posture.
✅ Builds core strength to reduce joint strain.
✅ Enhances body awareness for dynamic activities like running or jumping.
✅ Supports injury recovery and prevents future issues.
🐶 How to Practice Stand Strong:
1️⃣ Ensure your dog stands in a neutral posture with weight evenly distributed.
2️⃣ Start with short holds, gradually increasing duration as your dog gets stronger.
3️⃣ Add gentle side pressure or weight shifts to engage the core and stabilizers further.
Give it a try and set the tone for a strong, healthy year ahead! Tag us in your Stand Strong practice 📸🐾.
