Yoga with a rabbit, a dream come true or a nightmare because you think you’re going to accidentally step on it? Probably a mixture of these feelings. In Canada, they organized yoga classes where you could work out with a fluffy companion. The idea came forth from the need to raise money for an animal shelter and to raise awareness for abandoned rabbits. Aawwh. Rabbits are in abundance in this particular city, and that’s why many people leave them behind, often in nature. But because these rabbits are tamed, they’re not able to find their way in nature.
Now why exactly do we like doing yoga with our own, or adopted bunnies? I think because we seek cosiness more and more. And what is more cozy then bringing your own bunny to your yoga class? Two in one! You can now work out, and hug your bunny. Recently, there are also new café’s opening, where you can bring your cat to, or where cats just walk around. That way, you can bring your home to a public space. Last year, I’ve discovered this trend, which I called ‘social home’. This trend was about being home in public spaces, and the so-called third places. Third places are social spaces, next to first places (your home) and second places (work). These days, these spaces are more and more blending into one place. You can take your work home, you can take home to your work, bring your cats to the café and now take your bunny to a yoga class.
What do you think? Do you like to do yoga class with your pet? I would like that I think, if my French Bulldog weren’t that hyperactive. Maybe nicer for cat-owners though, but still, a nice idea to think about, and it was for a good cause. The animal charity has raised around $1000, yay, happy bunnies!
