Yoga animals

This adorable photo series shows curvy canines and flexible felines practicing yoga. The shots feature the animals in the the lotus position, balancing on two legs and stretching in ways that would make any yogi proud.

Photographer Dan Borris came up with the idea for the series in 2000, when he was asked by a friend to photograph her in a yoga pose while her dog bothered her. Dan thought images of the dog itself in yoga postures would be amusing and, having kept the idea in his mind, began shooting the series in 2005, releasing his first calendar in 2009. (Caters News)
