Yoga - with kittens

[Veronica]

It becomes a giggle fest.

Picture downward dog with a kitten right under head, playing with your hair.

Or downward dog and a kitten decides your arms are the best play toy.

The kittens also like just lying on my yoga mat, always where I need to put my foot.

I'm just glad they don't attack me when I'm doing any of those weird balancing moves. Or should I say - attempting to do those weird balancing moves.

You are asking for it by making yourself look too much like a cat tree!!

At least kittens are small! When the border collies are doing the same thing, it's very hard to hold any pose!

Sounds cute!

Hugs and butterflies,

Victoria,
when I was socializing feral kittens that's exactly what i would do. i put the mat in their little room and did my exercises. That litter of kittens is long since gone, but I kept one of them. She's 6 years old and to this day, if i get that mat out, she immediately lies down on it. So I have to race her or I don't get to exercise on it.

Cute! Your kittens sound like just the thing to keep one motivated to do yoga.

I don't think they ever grow out of it! My 20 pound 20 year old loves to hang out with me when I'm doing yoga - He sure can get in the way - and he's so old he doesn't move so fast anymore - so I have to Hooold those poses.

I had only been doing it once a week. But when my knee acts up, my whole right leg seems to be so inflexible. This week I've started my plan of three mornings a week - giving up any attempt at doing Spinervals in the morning. It's a lot easier to talk myself into yoga at4:45 than it is Spinervals.

The other two mornings I'm doing push ups with my feet on my fitness ball, those are killer! and traditional ab work.

It's really funny when they trap you in a head stand by sitting down in front of your face so you can't lower your legs.
