Yoga is for the animals

As I was getting frustrated trying to downward dog this morning, I remembered that my dad's dog Gilly does stretches with my dad every morning.

Seriously.

Gilly gets right into it and copies dad's stretches.

And then I realized that a lot of the yoga stretches are what cats, dogs, and 3 year old kids do naturally - including how they sleep.

So I've decided to stop trying to do warrior 2 triangle pose and whatcha-ma-callit crazy pose and concentrate on mastering the poses so well done by my two yoga instructors, Benny and Motif.

 

These are all yoga poses, I swear!
