Suzi Doga
Teitelman
World Founder of Doga · Creator of the Paw of Attraction™ · New York City, 2001
The Dog Who Started It All
It was 2001. Suzi was on her yoga mat in New York City when her cocker spaniel, Coali, walked over and simply refused to leave. He lay down beside her, matching her breath, her stillness, her presence.
In that moment, something shifted. Suzi realized that Coali wasn't just being a dog — he was being a teacher. He was showing her what it meant to be fully, completely, unconditionally present. No past. No future. Just now.
From that single sacred moment, Doga was born. Suzi began teaching yoga with dogs in Central Park, and word spread quickly. What started as a quirky New York phenomenon became a global movement that has touched millions of lives.
Over two decades later, Suzi has developed the Paw of Attraction™ — a philosophy built on six principles that animals naturally embody. She has written two books, appeared on major media worldwide, and trained guides across the globe.
Her mission is simple: to help humans remember what their animals never forgot — that joy, peace, and love are available right now, in this breath, in this moment.
"My dog taught me more about presence, joy, and unconditional love than any book, teacher, or retreat ever could. That's the gift of Doga."
