Now And Zen Yoga

There have been several “animal incidents” at Now and Zen yoga over the last 4 years.   As we are working to raise donations for the MSPCA this month, it seemed it might be fun to recount some of the more memorable critter moments at the yoga studio.

The Pigeon Incident:  In our old studio in Cabotville/Chicopee the windows would tilt in when we opened them.  There were no screens on these windows to prevent bugs or any other flying critter from coming in.  On a warm sunny day while our windows were all wide open, one of the neighborhood pigeons felt this was a delightful place to perch.  The teacher had to gingerly close the window so as to encourage the pigeon to fly out and not in.  The pigeon went on his merry way and was not harmed in the de-pigeoning of the window.

Pepe Le Pew:  One evening there was a very well fed skunk just outside the main entry door to the building.  The skunk was taking its own sweet time exploring the area along the canal and near the entry door.  A couple of yogis waited safely inside as the skunk roamed the area.  Eventaully the skunk waddled off into the night.  All of the yogis made it out to their cars without any further run-ins with the skunk.
