There is a strong connection between yoga & pets. No matter if you have canine or feline companion, you will be likely to experience cute disturbance by this four legged angel when you're practicing on your mat 😺

I have 1 dog and 4 cats at home and every morning when I do my own practice, they've been such pure joy to practice together with, either they as observer or joiners! 😂

No wonder yoga poses names mostly related to animals as maybe that's why they are so interested to join us on our mat as they see us doing their behavior while practicing 🐕🐈🦩🐄🦗🐋 This giant puss here is Franco, he is 5 years old and the biggest cat with the biggest purrsonality I ever have 😱 Accompanied by him is always fun, but to practice with him as you seen on these pics is conpletely different story! As he weighed no less than 7 kg! 😳

Wearing Triangle legging and I'm Nicer After Yoga white singlet from dancingwarriorwear check out the cuteness practicing with this furball 😹

Don't let the "ideal" of what yoga suppose to and not suppose to change the way you are on and off the mat.
Remember, everyone is unique and different. How you do certain asana is depending on what's your body type, how much expansion can you make and how far should you stop. How your mind state while practicing will also affecting the full expression of the poses and whether you get the benefits from them or not without hurting yourself.
Start to recognize yourself, your body, and your attitude in your practice. These are just samples on how you can do some poses according to your body and different situation you're at. Don't hesitate to be creative and explore the possibilities to use the poses to get into your body -not the other way around!
Use blocks, strap, bolster, blanket, adjusting distance between your hands, between your feet, when to engage parts of your body and when to let go. Have fun, yoga is for everybody but keep in mind you are not just everybody, so your practice will never be the same. Own your body, own your perspective and always respect your limitation 🙏

One my fave poses to play lately. It is in the same family as grasshopper pose. How to get there? You better be friend with chair pose & twist to begin with 😉
-
1. From chair pose, cross one leg on top of the other. Here I use my left leg over my right. Ankle on top of knee. Keep your knee of the crossed leg pointed to side.

2. Twist your body to the right, place left elbow against your left sole. Hands at heart center.

3. Open your arms, balance!

4. Tuck your left foot on your left arm, or even better hop it in to your shoulder. Take your time. You may loose balance at some point, that is normal 😁 ...then slide your arms up and slowly straighten up your right leg.

5. Try to grab your right shin with your both hands while you balance. Keep that foot steady on your arm. Try to lift the hip higher and lower the chest to 90 degree angle. Stay there!

6. When you're ready to fly, flap your wings to the side and fly away, dragon! 🐲
