Style: Squash Yoga

Stanley the Anthropomorphic Squash shows us some of the yoga poses which keep him serene and focussed even when faced with the prospect of being sliced, breaded, and thrown in a frying pan. And truly, don't we all feel as though we're about to be fried sometimes?

 

  

"My Feet Are Stuck This Way" Pose
Being a squash, Stanley can't quite do a full Lotus. Nevertheless, this position is useful when you want to give the impression that you're meditating rather than, say, ogling the unclothed sunbather in the next yard over.

     
 

"Dive into Carpet" Pose
This one is particularly challenging to perform for those of us without stems. Proceed with extreme caution.

     
 

"Child after Tantrum" Pose
Scream. Alternately beat your arms then your legs on the floor until exhausted. Feel your gut sagging into the carpet. Take a deep cleansing breath: breath in through your nose, then out through your mouth. Feel your nose fill with dirt.

     
 

"I'm More Limber Than You Are" Pose
Unless you're as limber as Stanley, you may need assistance in assuming this position. We suggest heading to an ice skating rink and strapping a pillow to your crotch.

     
 

"Bug on Back" Pose
A great position for soothing those tired back muscles and for checking out the paint job on the ceiling. With arms and legs pointing helplessly in the air, roll from side to side, back and forth in an ever increasing frenzy, attempting to flip yourself right side up.

     
  "Oh, Dear" Pose
Always
check with a physician before attempting physical activity - particularly if your legs are held on by rubber bands.
