Yoga - with kittens

[mimitabby]

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 have the same issues. This week, one climbed in my lap during the boat pose and the other kept standing up with his paws on my hip during a balance sequence! I'm pretty new at this and they are not helping.
(BTW- I love the new Troy Jacobson Yoga for Endurance Athletes that I got for Christmas!)

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.

My cat is constantly in the way when doing Pilates or even my aerobics video. It's very difficult to follow the DVD when I'm constantly worried about stepping on her.

I usually end up with a corgi butt in my face -- thank you so much Chloe...
