About Me

My name is Gwendolyn Jeun.  Just Gwen is fine thanks!

This blog is about how I’m living my yoga while continuing with my “other life” as a small animal veterinarian.  I’ve created Downward Dog DVM (which I like to call D3 for short) so I can express my two passions, veterinary medicine and yoga.  Being a vet is a great profession, but it can be stressful.  My hope is that, in telling you about my experiences from my perspective, this becomes a place that helps you in your daily living.

The things I gained from yoga and meditation were too good to keep to myself…so I took the leap!  Now I’m a Yoga Alliance registered yoga teacher (E-RYT 200).  Many thanks to all my teachers, especially Dianne Bondy, for guiding me along the way.

I’m also a proud contributor to the book “Animal Companions, Animal Doctors, Animal People”.  This anthology was published to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Ontario Veterinary College, my alma mater.

Everyone has a story.  I hope that my stories inspire you to find a way to view your everyday life a little differently.

Thanks for sharing the journey with me,

Gwen (a.k.a. D3)
