# Canine Yogi Calendars 'Yoga Dogs' by Dan Borris By Elsa Blaine | Published 2008-11-16 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoga-dogs-canine-friends-of-photographer-dan-borris References: [inventorspot](http://inventorspot.com/articles/best_pet_calendars_19823) & [yogadogz](http://yogadogz.com/index1.html) Photographer Dan Borris started creating the images that comprise 'Yoga Dogs' after observing the actions of Otis, an English Bull Terrier. The photos have now been made into a calendar for 2009 and it is sure to be a hit. Borris suggests many pups are 'Yoga Dogs,' saying, "Just observe them: Steady deep breathing (unless panting), totally focused attention (unless distracted by a ball or squirrel), and full stretches (especially upon waking)." These pictures are so much fun. Winnie the weinerdog (dachshund) has to be my favorite, but I get a kick out of them all. Dogs are always good for the soul. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Yoga Dog Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to capture playful and expressive images of dogs practicing yoga, creating unique and entertaining visual content. - **Pet Calendar Market:** Growing demand for pet-themed calendars featuring adorable and humorous images of animals, providing business opportunities for calendar manufacturers and retailers. - **Canine Wellness:** Increasing interest in combining dog ownership with practices like yoga for physical and mental well-being, opening up possibilities for innovative products and services in the pet industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Photographers can capitalize on the trend by specializing in yoga dog photography and offering their services to pet owners and pet-related businesses. - **Calendar Manufacturing:** Calendar companies can leverage the popularity of pet-themed calendars by creating and distributing calendar products featuring yoga dogs to meet consumer demand. - **Pet Products and Services:** Pet businesses can explore opportunities in the growing market of canine wellness by offering yoga classes, specialized dog products, and wellness services for dogs and their owners. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dog-Specific Treat Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12-days-of-woofmas.md) - [Probiotic Pet Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pigs-in-blankets-dog-advent-calendar.md) - [Pet-Friendly Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calm-dog.md) - [Pet-Taken Camera Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartography.md) - [Dog-Themed Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dogthemed-puzzle.md) - [Festive Dog-Friendly Countdowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bark-seasons-treatings.md) - [Male-Targeted Yoga Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoga-for-the-inflexible-male.md) - [Charity Firefighter Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-australian-firefighters.md) - [Dog-Friendly Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dogs-best-friend-game.md)
