Yoga for Chickens [Paperback]

Lynn Brunelle (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2004

Chickens know a few things about feeling fried. That's why they've been practicing yoga for centuries. As this hilariously illustrated guide to simple yoga poses reveals, we have much to learn from their bird-brained wisdom. Anyone who's all cooped up or stressed out by the pecking order will feel like a spring chicken in no time thanks to such postures as Chick's Pose, Snake in the Grass, and Chicken of the Sea. Sections on breathing and stretching enlighten any load, and a series of fix-it routines unscramble such problem areas as neck, thighs, and aching feet. Thoughtful hen koans (why did the chicken cross the road?) and plucky affirmations invite contemplation and are sure to inspire budding yoginis to spread their wings. Googly eyed, combs akimbo, these very funky chickens will illuminate both beginners and the adept, and are sure to make anyone's day more chirpy -- all for a nice cheep price. Even the toughest old bird will crack a smile with Yoga for Chickens.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Yoga for Chickens (Paperback)

I picked up this book recently from a local Target store and couldn't put it down. The poses are enlightening, and the amount of thought put into this book is encredible. The pictures and humor are funny. This is a great beginner's book to yoga. I've enjoyed it very much after I bought it just a few days ago. It truly works! I recommend it for anyone looking for a way to release stress and calm down. It's simply wonderful. :-)

This is a tiny book about basically a chicken performing yoga moves while contemplating the breathing techniques and meditating. Its very cute and it would be a great stocking stuffer this holiday season for any yoga enthusiast.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Yoga for Chickens (Paperback)

I bought one copy of Yoga for Chickens, fell in love with Lynn Brunell's hilarious illustrations and surprisingly useful (and fully tongue in beak) instructions and commentary. I probably went back to Amazon.com and bought (from various book vendors), four more copies to give to each of my yoga instructors and a couple of yoga buddies. Everyone absolutely loved them!
