“A harried-looking but willing chicken clucks through all the poses, and the net result is an entertaining take on modern yoga practice.” —Yoga Journal
Chickens know a few things about feeling fried. That’s why they’ve been practicing yoga for centuries. As this hilariously illustrated guide to simple yoga poses reveals, we have much to learn from their bird-brained wisdom.
Anyone who feels cooped up or stressed out by the pecking order will feel like a spring chicken in no time thanks to such postures as Chick’s Pose, Snake in the Grass, and Chicken of the Sea. Sections on breathing and stretching are included, and a series of fix-it routines unscramble such problem areas as neck, thighs, and aching feet.
Plus, thoughtful hen koans (why did the chicken cross the road?) and plucky affirmations invite contemplation and inspire budding yoginis to spread their wings. Googly-eyed, combs akimbo, these very funky chickens will enlighten both beginners and the adept, and are sure to make anyone feel chirpy—all for a nice cheep price.
