Chicken Yoga
Sunday, January 16, 2011 at 8:31PM Share Article If you've been following the blog the past few days then you know that we've traded in our snowy, frigid midwest landscape for the sunny, warm vistas of the California Central Coast. We have a little place here near my husband's family and usually spend a month or so in the Circle B Kitchen Western Headquarters thawing out and enjoying a little sun, sand and seafood.
Not only have we left behind some serious (and beautiful) snow and freezing temperatures, but I had to leave behind my chicken girls as well. My daughter lives within walking distance of our home and is taking care of my feathered friends while we're here in California. I received this email from her today and wanted to share it with you in case any of you also have chickens who might benefit from this....
After we went sledding, I checked on the chickens. They give me 4-5 eggs per day. We did yoga:
Tree Pose (vrksasana) benefits: Tones and strengthens the legs. Gives one the sense of balance and poise.

Then we worked on Eagle pose (garudasana). It develops the ankles and removes stiffness from shoulders.

Thank you so much, Lisa, for taking the time to help my chickens through this long winter while we hang out here in the California warmth. I'm not sure they're going to want me to come home if you continue to take such good care of them. I have to say that Rosie there is much better at the Eagle pose than I am, but maybe it just looks easier because she doesn't have arms.
Chicken yoga is going to catch on. Just wait, I think you're on to something.
