Dog, cat and goat yoga is now a thing of the past. A Madagascan primate, lemur, known for striking some poses naturally has joined the fun where humans bond with animals during yoga. In an initiative by a Lake District luxury hotel near Keswick, UK, you can now practice yoga with lemurs.
The hotel named, Armathwaite Hall has launched its ‘lemoga’ sessions as one of its “meet the wildlife” wellness activities.
Lemurs are considered to be friendly animals who love the touch of humans. Moreover, their natural yoga pose of warming bellies in the sunlight makes them potential yogis as well.
“When you watch lemurs they do some form of the poses naturally – that typical pose warming their bellies in the sunshine. It seemed to be a really good combination to encourage people to have a go and spend time with a lemur,” Richard Robinson, manager of the wildlife park adjoining to the hotel told BBC.
Who else wants to try this? 😂😮

“I don’t think you ever see an unhappy zoo keeper. We spend all our time with animals. We know how it makes us feel and if we can give a little piece of that to people then great,” he added.
Practicing yoga with the flora and fauna of the wild all around sounds exciting, right? Plus an ideal yoga partner like lemur is definitely a bonus. Are you up for it?
