Princess Maggie doing her best imitation of a sphinx. Maggie is strictly an indoor cat... this is one of the very few times that she ventured outdoors on the deck (She wouldn't want to get those pretty pink toes dirty :) but she wanted to let the squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, and birds know just who was ruling the roost here. She was just a year old when this was taken back in 2002.
Thank you ginstercat and shantaya for your inspiration in the title!
I didn't know that this had even uploaded due to flickr's hiccups on Monday.
Thank you very much for your views, invitations, faves and comments!!!
Sphinx is utterly disgusted by the new Yoga ball I bought for my back , the sound of inflation and deflation didn't impress any of the cats or Isis!
Designed and folded by me. Folded from one uncut square of origamido paper. designed in August 2009, folded in September 2009.
This is kind of a crazy model. but I like it >:3
I mean legitamately crazy. it was quite a few areas where I used unorthadox methods to get them to look the way I wanted XD
Sphinx Pose, in Sanskrit Salamba Bhujangasana, "sa" is with, and "alamba" meaning support -- this is a wonderful back bend that's suitable for those with limited flexibility in the back/spine. It is a gentler variation and much easier than Cobra or Upward Dog. Picture was taken at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Egyptian exhibit (Mother with teen daughter Karlisse). Yoga can and should be practiced in every environment and diverse locations. For instance, I can think of many poses I can practice in many places I find myself (poses named after birds, warriors, objects, etc); tonight after being in the car earlier for a few hours, walking around the museum and running 4 miles, yoga on the bed (need firm mattress) felt just right. I practiced a great hip opener, reclined Tree Pose. I hope you will try postures that make you laugh, help you feel great immediately, help you release tension, as well as encourage you to get out of your comfort zone.
