You Can Now Do Outdoor Yoga With Lemurs—and It’s as Magical as It Sounds

You Need Posted on by

Move over goat yoga, alpaca yoga, and dog yoga. Lemur yoga is about to take the world by storm.

According to The Metro, the Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa, near the Lake District Wildlife Park in Keswick, England, is now offering “lemoga,” also known as doing yoga outdoors with lemurs.

The lemurs already live in the nearby wildlife park, and they’re apparently very friendly and social, so they’re practically perfect yoga buddies.

RELATED: I Tried Snow-Ga and Don’t Ever Want to Go Back to Regular Yoga

“When you watch lemurs they do some form of the poses naturally — that typical pose warming their bellies in the sunshine,” said Richard Robinson, manager of the Lake District Wildlife Park, to the BBC. “It seemed to be a really good combination to encourage people to have a go and spend time with a lemur.”

The class is part of Armathwaite Hall’s “meet the wildlife” wellness program, which includes walking alpacas around hotels 400-acre grounds, meet-and-greets with meerkats, and special sessions with zookeepers.

The hotel says “lemoga” is a good way for guests to “feel at one with nature, at the same time joining in with the lemurs’ play time.” They also claim the class is good for stress and reducing blood pressure, especially when lemurs are involved.

We challenge anyone not to get distracted by these inquisitive animals while they’re trying to perfect their downward dog. Frankly, these creatures are so irresistibly cute, we expect there could be more “lemoga” classes elsewhere around the world in the future.

Sport24.co.za | Blitzboks crash out of Hong Kong Sevens after QF loss

You Need Posted on by

Cape Town – The Blitzboks have crashed out of the Hong Kong Sevens after losing to Seven World Series leaders, the United States 21-12 in a quarter-final encounter.

South Africa were on the board early thanks to a try in the second minute through Impi Visser with Selvyn Davids adding the conversion for a 7-0 lead.

The United States hit back through a converted try by Carlin Isles as the teams were deadlocked 7-7 at half-time.

Visser and Isles then scored shortly after half-time with Madison Hughes adding a conversion for the United States to give them a 14-12 lead.

Poor discipline at the breakdown kept the Blitzboks on the back foot for most of the second stanza and a Ben Pinkelman try, converted by Hughes, pushed the score out to 21-12 in favour of the United States.

And that’s the way it ended with the United States set to play Fiji in the semi-final of the competition and the Blitzboks to face Argentina in the 5th place play-off.

News24.com | Msimanga to lay complaint against ANC for ‘instigating protest’ in Alexandra

You Need Posted on by

DA Gauteng premier candidate Solly Msimanga plans to lay a criminal complaint against the ANC on Sunday morning, alleging the party is behind the violent protests that have gripped Alexandra since Wednesday.

So far, leaders of the Alexandra total-shutdown movement have indicated that they are suspending their protests until the early hours of Monday morning. They say their next target is Sandton, which is one of the country’s most affluent suburbs and where the Johannesburg Stock Exchange is situated.  

Speaker after speaker on Friday, during a public meeting, vowed that barricading and burning tyres in the streets of Alexandra had yielded no results. They all agreed that residents of Sandton and its neighbouring suburbs would be awoken by smoke billowing in the area at the start of the week.

They have threatened to block Grayston Drive and major routes around Sandton with burning tyres, in order to get the attention of City of Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba.

Alexandra residents have been calling for Mashaba to come and address their demands since Wednesday. Earlier this week Mashaba sent his MMC Michael Sun to the area, despite requests that he come to the township. Sun, was booed while trying to address the crowd, with some even hurling racial insults at him.  

Mashaba said he did not attend the mass meeting on Friday because there was no agreement in place. He added that he was leading a civic funeral at the same time and could not have made such a commitment.

Mashaba promised to visit the area on April 15.  

READ: Alexandra residents consider taking protests to Sandton to get mayor’s attention

Msimanga said in a statement on Saturday that he will be accompanied by DA Johannesburg Regional Chairperson, Tsepo Mhlongo and DA Alexandra Constituency Head, Mervyn Cirota when he lays a criminal complaint of incitement of violence against the ANC at the Alexandra police station.

“The charges also include the influencing of the outcome of the upcoming general elections through instigating a protest in a peaceful Alexandra township. The violent and destructive action that took place in Alexandra was not a service delivery protest but rather criminal chaos, which is being carefully coordinated by the ANC and its affiliates.

“These actions by the ANC goes against the IEC rules and the ANC must be banned from participating in the May general elections,” said Msimanga.

Gimmicks 

ANC acting spokesperson Dakota Legoete said they will not dignify Msimang’s gimmicks with a response.

“His attempts to deflect attention from the DA’s failures in Alexandra and their blatant refusal to account will not succeed,” said Legoete.

News24.com | One killed, another critically injured after tanker exploded in Gauteng factory

You Need Posted on by

A man was left injured and another in a critical condition after a tanker trailer at a factory they were working on exploded.

According to Netcare 911 spokesperson Shawn Herbst, the incident took place around 14:40 at a factory in Alberton, Ekurhuleni. 

Herbst said the employees were working on the tanker, trying to fix it, when the tragedy struck.

“What our paramedics learnt when they arrived on the scene, is that the two men together with a third one, were trying to fix a gas tanker in the factory. The tanker was empty at the time when the men attempted to weld it. The tankers then exploded killing one man and leaving another in critical conditions,” he said.

Herbst said paramedics tried to resuscitate the deceased but to no success.

However, the third man who sustained minor injuries, was treated on the scene and refused to go to hospital.
