Yoga: The Stretch 2

Somebody just emailed me
that he has not heard of any yoga pose
patterned after dogs . . .
Well, listen Wally,
the dog pose is the best yoga set
because the movements are so natural
that people think we are
just lounging around but we're not!
We are actually releasing
pent-up emotions and wasted desires
when we do the different movements
while breathing in and out.
Exactly what Keeper is doing in her mat.

Ok, if there are no other
hysterical arguments and protest
allow me to continue with
the stretching exercises . . .


Yoga: Stretch 2
This is another variation of The Stretch.
You lie down but instead of
stretching your legs behind you
you tuck it in your side.



This is the best exercise
when you just finished
playing catch or hunting
or killing something (sssh, don't tell!)
and needed to wind down
and catch your breath
before eating and sleeping . . .


There's Bogart and his big, black self . . .




Another variation is still lying down
but with your head up
while breathing in and out . . .




And here's Bogart's variation . . . .


Bogart does stretching a lot
because it relaxes him
plus it makes him less grumpy.
As you know, Bogart is always cool
A bit dopey but never grumpy.
Ever.


Aha, my popsy Sumo . . .
a bit uptight but then
he's always like that.




And there goes my mumsy Pica
all of her 112-year old aging self . . .

the true testament why doing yoga
makes one stay young
and healthy . . .
