It’s a New Year and we have decided to start a little feature devoted to the pets in our lives. This month’s award goes to Che, who enjoys taking part in the cat pose now and again. He’s a yogic cat at heart and likes to spend most of his time getting bendy when he’s not trying to get a few treats from Mariel (his proud owner).
The American craze Yoga with Pets is available throughout London and may eventually be exported to the rest of the world. Animal therapist Dan Thomas is head of grooming at London’s Pet Pavilion Company which introduced the scheme to the UK. He says he is amazed at the effect of the classes on the pets taking part.
“A person who does yoga classes usually ends up becoming more placid. For pets it’s just the same, even if they do occasionally require assistance to contort their bodies into the required yogic positions.”
Latest statistics from the US suggest that 15 million Americans now include some form of yoga in their fitness routine – twice as many as five years ago. Backers of Yoga for Pets hope that it too will quickly catch on and show a similar statistical upsurge. We would love to see photos of your yogic pets, so get them sent in.
