Probabilmente hai visto una pubblicità o due (cento!) Per Yoga di capra. Forse anche lo yoga di gatto. Ma yoga di pollo? (Anche il fraseggio sembra solo ... sbagliato.)
Full disclaimer: As someone with a large and irrational fear of chickens, I may be slightly prejudiced in my desire to NOT attend a chicken yoga class. However, I will try to remain impartial and not let my (very) particular feelings on the animal influence my outlook on this new form of, erm, yoga.
At Hotel Haya in Ybor City, Florida, a local yoga studio, Yoga Loft Tampa, hosts a chicken yoga class on the last Sunday of the month. And, yes, it’s exactly what you think: chickens wandering around the room while you practice.
In realtà non l'ho visto da nessun'altra parte, ha detto Chris Wilkinson, l'insegnante, In un'intervista con MOR-TV Tampa. Non credo che siamo i primi, ma è sicuramente qualcosa che è più in corso.
Nota del redattore: sia Hotel Haya che Yoga Loft Tampa sono aperti e in funzione dopo l'uragano Ian.
The purpose of the class is to raise funds for wounded chickens who are treated at a local center, Ybor Misfits Microsanctuary. While I’m not opposed to helping heal hurt birds, the chicken yoga class may not be the best fundraising mechanism. Beyond l'appropriazione culturale di una pratica that wasn’t intended to include these birds, the logistics of this particular class are a bit…confusing. Typically, goat yoga classes take place outdoors, leaving the animals with ample opportunity to, erm, do their business. But in this case, the chickens parade around the indoor studio, necessitating the wearing of what appear to be diapers (yes, diapers) on more than a few of the birds. I think I’ll pass on that.
