Nope she does not do it regularly.
Keeper's former teacher is not available
which is why she gets lazy doing it herself.
But she discovered and realized too late
that yes, ahem, yoga moves are patterned after
who else?
ANIMALS!
Ladidah. . .didah . . didah. . . .
Now she does it with me.
The Yoga Story
by Sweepy, the guru
Once upon a Time
The wise chief of the tribe
who have nothing better to do
while waiting for his people
to return from the hunt
saw how well relaxed and happy
the animals are in the kingdom
and lo and behold!
he saw the light of day
(the chief has cataracts
but he is not blind)
and the wise chief declared:
"my animals have conquered relaxation
simply by doing certain movements
and proper breathing . . ."
which in truth is nothing else but normal breathing
which in truth is what humans have forgotten to do
and which in truth is why they do yoga . . .
End of DoggyTale
. . . and since my vegetarian friend Rufus
wanted me to teach him yoga
to which I replied that I need not teach him
because ALL DOGS and most animals
naturally does most of these poses
long before it became fashionable to OWN a dog
(come to think of it nobody really owns us)
and long before it became fashionable
among humans to do animal moves posing as yoga.
But I love requests,
and I looooooove to show off.
(in case you have not noticed)
here are some of my fave yoga moves:
(these moves can be done by humans, ok?)
Lesson for the Day: The Stretch
You lie down and stretch yourself
while slowly inhaling . . .
(forget the pollution just do it!)
If you see Keeper with camera, smile!
Then exhale
(don't forget to do this or you'll die!)
Now look behind you
(nope you are not looking for anything
you are stretching your neck for crying out loud!)
Then inhale. . .
Then slowly lean your face on the floor
Exhale . . .
Now count to five, then exhale . . .
Try to do this five times at least every hour.
Do this and your sleeping will improve.
For next session we will do Stretch 2.
