Zen Hens – Omlet does Chicken Yoga

Step aside puppies and goats, chickens are taking over the mats!

Earlier this month, as part of our launch event for the brand new No Waste Chicken Feeders, we hosted our first ever Chicken Yoga. Yep, a chicken themed yoga class where the stars were… well, chickens. 

Omlet co-founder Hanns, opened with a mantra before handing over to Nicole to lead the session.

They gave us eggs. We have eggs. They make us laugh. We need that. Because of the chicken, we can relax. 
Feel closer to nature, scratch the earth. Have something to watch. Appear more interesting. Sort our thoughts, calm our souls. Find friendships, create circles. They are yoga, they are meditation, they are personal yard jesters. They fix us. Right?

Our guests then unrolled their mats and were immediately joined by a flock of curious hens, hopping around, pecking, scratching and making themselves at home. Yoga has never been this feathery or funny before.

“The chickens were SO sweet and I fell in love with that little lavender bantam!” Heather @farmhouseinthefens

“I loved how involved everyone got with the chicken yoga, it’s definitely something I’m going to integrate into my everyday life!!” Charlie @eggs_and_fluff

The class, led by the brilliant Nicole, was a mix of flowing stretches and playful poses inspired by our feathery friends. We warmed up with Flapping Tadasana, Downward and Upward Chickie, and Murgasana, before strutting into Scratching Warrior, Twisting Chicken and winding down with the Flowing Feeder – in celebration of Omlet’s new Smart No Waste Chicken Feeder.

“Sequencing a class in honour of the chicken meant we could experience the creative side of yoga. Chickens have such unique movements and incredible personalities that the poses came naturally, and left us feeling grounded but playful,” Nicole, yoga instructor 

The session reminded us how much chickens help us slow down and live in the moment, as well as provide us with much needed laughter. Because of the chicken.
