Alison Hammond leaves 'This Morning' fans feeling 'jealous' as she tries out lemur yoga

Novelty yoga is a huge craze. Everywhere, classes have tried to make the practice more exciting by incorporating a whole plethora of things into it, from dogs and goats to hip-hop and beer. Now, exercise enthusiasts can take part in lemur yoga – or ‘lemoga,’ as it’s been dubbed – at a hotel and spa in the Lake District.

In light of the news, This Morning‘s Alison Hammond thought she’d give it a go and she made it look so fun that viewers of the show were left feeling ‘jealous’ that they couldn’t adopt the Lotus pose while surrounding by cute, stripey primates.

“I am so jealous right now,” one particularly green-with-envy fan wrote on social media. “Lemur yoga sounds and looks so amazing! I really want to spend a few hours chilling with lemur’s and doing some meditation. Alison really is living her best life.”

“WHERE CAN I SIGN UP FOR LEMUR YOGA,” another exclaimed.

Even some viewers pets looked like they wanted to get involved. “My labradoodle is loving lemoga,” one wrote alongside a picture of her dog staring intently at the screen while Hammond was taking part in the routine.

Others weren’t quite so enthusiastic however, with one Twitter user sarcastically claiming that he couldn’t think of anything “more relaxing than doing a bit of yoga and then having a lemur come and s**t on you.”

Talking about the benefits of lemoga, and how the class came about at the Armathwaite Hall in Keswick, adjoining wildlife park manager Richard Robinson told the BBC: “When you watch lemurs they do some form of the poses naturally – that typical pose warming their bellies in the sunshine.

“It seemed to be a really good combination to encourage people to have a go and spend time with a lemur.

“I don’t think you ever see an unhappy zoo keeper,” he continued. “We spend all our time with animals. We know how it makes us feel and if we can give a little piece of that to people then, great.”

In addition to lemoga, the hotel’s wildlife park allows guests to wander the 400-acre grounds with alpacas, meet meerkats and get up close and personal with birds of prey.
