Steady deep breathing, totally focused attention and full stretches -- now, dogs in different yoga poses have their day, thanks to a calendar.

Yes, a golden retriever in a warrior posture and a chihuahua chilling out in the pendant position are among many that are featured in a new Yoga Dogs 2010 Calendar which will induce a year of smiles for pet lovers.

In fact, the tongue-in-cheek calendar hosts a year full of images showing popular dog breeds positioned in classic yoga postures created using computer wizardry by Texan couple Dan and Alejandra Borris.

The animals were never in distress, said Dan who got Alejandra, a former yoga teacher, to hold and coax the dogs into position and then Photoshop did the rest, leading British newspaper 'The Times' reported.

"It has been a really fun project. Next year we will do puppy yoga!" Dan said.
