Yoga Buddy 🐾 🥰

33 Replies

Adriene has talked this week about our furry yoga buddies spending time with us on our mats, so I thought I would share mine ❤️. Isla often snuggles in during my yoga sessions, sometimes taking over the mat, but this is the first time we have managed to catch her on camera. She joined me for the alternate nostril breathing (she likes the breathing exercises) and my daughter took the photo just before she moved away. Isla also does THE best downdog which I try my best to copy 💕.

Awwwhhh 🥰🥰🥰🥰What a fab Yoga Buddy! Benji has competition! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🐾

in reply to CBDB

She is a real snuggle-bug and is usually around when I do my practice. She often arrives on my mat at some point, usually when I'm sitting or lying down, for one of her full-on "lean-ins" - all her weight down one side. It's gorgeous, but a little tricky if she decides to lie underneath me when I'm doing cat-cow!

Definitely the cutest buddy of the day Delly-dot 🥰

Ah she's lovely, hope she let's you share her mat 🤣 Dogs are just so good at yoga 😉

She does a gorgeous down dog pose, usually when she gets out of her bed. Must try to take a photo but I might be accused of hijacking the site with posts of my dog!

absolutely adorable :) When I do floor exercises my little exercise buddy just brings an assortment of cuddly toys and balls and drops them on top of me :)

in reply to sunny369

Yes! I get gifts as well, though they tend to be socks and slippers!

Aww lovely pup Delly! She’s gorgeous. 🥰

It’s lovely when our yoga buddies join us isn’t it? My Lab, Flossie, is my yoga buddy and running buddy and my cat, Biggie Smalls (don’t laugh) often observes. I love it! 🐾🐾

Biggie Smalls 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I know ..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

in reply to cheekychipmunks

Biggie Smalls is a brilliant name. It reminds me of the little boy character in the second Indiana Jones movie, Short Round. It was on tv yesterday afternoon and I curled up on the sofa with my teenage daughter to watch it.

Ahh brilliant! 🥰

Biggie was named by my kids when he was a kitten over 10 years ago. He was so tiny, but had a huge personality. It stuck! 🐾 🐈

Not laughing ..... 😆 😉 🤗.

Course you’re not Delly! 🤥🤣

Ahhhh Delly, Isla’s gorgeous, how lovely to have her as your yoga buddy, maybe she’d like her own mat like Benji 😄, although my cat Freddy usually makes a beeline for mine when I’m setting up even though he has his own 😁🤗

Had one experience of letting my dog in and he thought my pony tail was the best tug toy ever.

Hi, she is so cute, they want to be involved in everything you do and love snuggles. started Yoga with Adriene a couple of days ago. My labrador has given up trying to lie on me or on the lap top and and has settled for lying next to me.

in reply to Cantstopmenow

Ah, that’s lovely - a nice warm buddy alongside you for company. You’ll love Adriene’s yoga. I’ve been following her for a year now, using her monthly yoga calendar, but this is the first time I have done it every day for a month - I like it! 🧘🏼‍♀️ 😊

Cute :) I remember watching a dog stretching and suddenly realising, ah, now that's why they call it down dog!

CBDBAdministratorGraduate Gold in reply to Blackberrypie

Yeah, I had the same aha experience recently, as someone posted a downward dog dog in another forum I think.

We could do with some more downward dog dog pictures .... (hint hint)

She’s beautiful. I wish my two would snuggle nicely when I’m on the mat.
