Sunday Easy Yoga

Me-Ommmmm Efurryone! For today's Sunday Easy, I'd like to demonstrate Yoga Nidra, which is yoga "sleep." It's really a very deep state of meditation, where you are fully conscious or lucid, but look like you are asleep. It's very easy!


Here I am practicing Yoga Nidra with Brofur Apollo. 
He is to my right, practicing under the covers because 
he felt chilly. Yoga Nidra is often practiced in Shavasana,
but it can be done in any comfortable yoga pose.
Here we are in Parivritta Shavasana
(revolved corpse pose).



Here I am practicing Yoga Nidra with sisfur Nalle.
I am in Sphinx Asana, and Nalle is in Parsvashavasana
(side corpse pose).


Here brofur Apollo is practicing Yoga Nidra in
Shashankasana (pose of the moon or hare pose).

Have a Happy Easy Sunday Efurryone! Me-Ommmmm!

Sunday Yoga Asana

Me-ommmmm Efurryone! Today Brofur Apollo has kindly offered to demonstrate a lovely and stress-relieveing yoga pose: Shashankasana, or hare pose. Furr those bunny bloggers out there, this should be quite natural!



Hind legs are folded and tucked under, then stretch your front legs forward and rest into the pose. As you can see, Apollo is having a little trouble keeping his spine straight and in alignment. This is due to the extra cushy surface. I recommend practicing Shashankasana directly on the floor to maintain proper positioning. Hold for a few minutes to an hour for maximum benefits.

To learn the most essential poses for health and happiness, you can purchase my book, Daily Yoga for a Happy and Healthy Cat here. It is quite suitable also for practitioners of Doga as well as other sentient beings. Most, if not all, of the proceeds will go towards animal rescue, my practice of Karma Yoga! Thank you and Me-Ommmm!
