Monkey Vs. Sloth

May 2018: Dynamic & Static Movement, Sprints & Sculling.

I've always liked monkeys, but now I know that sloths are fantastic!  My procrastination hours were easily filled with baby sloths.  I also learned that they swim with a sculling motion that is much faster than movement on land.  Good to know!

Yoga
In yoga we'll hold our static poses like a sloth and jump into dynamic poses like a monkey.
  • Sloth crawl (Low lunge, right knee meets right elbow then right hand stretches out.)
  • Monkey walk (Squat like a frog, move both hands, then both feet.  Try it sideways!)
