Probabil că ați văzut o reclamă sau două (sute!) Pentru Yoga de capră. Poate chiar și pisica yoga. Dar yoga de pui? (Chiar și fraza arată doar ... greșit.)
Full disclaimer: As someone with a large and irrational fear of chickens, I may be slightly prejudiced in my desire to NOT attend a chicken yoga class. However, I will try to remain impartial and not let my (very) particular feelings on the animal influence my outlook on this new form of, erm, yoga.
At Hotel Haya in Ybor City, Florida, a local yoga studio, Yoga Loft Tampa, hosts a chicken yoga class on the last Sunday of the month. And, yes, it’s exactly what you think: chickens wandering around the room while you practice.
Nu am văzut de fapt acest lucru făcut în altă parte, a spus Chris Wilkinson, profesorul, Într-un interviu cu Mor-TV Tampa. Nu cred că suntem primul, dar este cu siguranță ceva care este mai în curs.
Nota editorului: Atât Hotel Haya, cât și Yoga Loft Tampa sunt deschise și funcționează în urma uraganului Ian.
The purpose of the class is to raise funds for wounded chickens who are treated at a local center, Ybor Misfits Microsanctuary. While I’m not opposed to helping heal hurt birds, the chicken yoga class may not be the best fundraising mechanism. Beyond însușirea culturală a unei practici that wasn’t intended to include these birds, the logistics of this particular class are a bit…confusing. Typically, goat yoga classes take place outdoors, leaving the animals with ample opportunity to, erm, do their business. But in this case, the chickens parade around the indoor studio, necessitating the wearing of what appear to be diapers (yes, diapers) on more than a few of the birds. I think I’ll pass on that.
