Yoga workout for humans :
By Santra the bear
by Chamari Senanayake
First, you lift your right foot
using your paw |
Then you stretch your left |
Now, lets do both, shall we? |
These images are from a continuous 15 minutes exercise routine by a
bear called Santra after she woke up from her nap. Although the routine
looks painful to us, Santra proves she is quite flexible and fit by
stretching each leg separately, by using her paws to pull them upwards,
and then lifting both at the same time.
Keeping both legs up for a while, she even manage to balance serenely
on her bottom and pull her furry legs up around her ears in her
spectacular show. Onlookers say, like any good yoga devotee, she kept
her eyes calmly focused as she perfected her moves, flexing her toes to
make the stretch even more difficult.
This bear entertained crowds at Ahtari Zoo in Finland. The hilarious
display was captured on camera by a visitor, Meta Penca, from Slovenia.
‘It was exactly the same as when you see people do yoga easy, slow,
focused and calm.’ She says. ‘She looked pretty into it, a really
straight face, no looking around just very serious and calm and kept her
eyes slightly opened and focused.’
Apparently, after seeing the display, the onlookers remained quiet
and watched Santra?s whole routine. |
