Humans aren’t the only animals who need to stretch, center, and realign their chakras. It looks like plenty of critters do it too, even without the help of Photoshop. The yoga gurus below demonstrate how the need to kick back is both innate and universal. Whether you’re a giraffe sleeping on your feet, or a bird resting half your brain at a time, everyone has to have downtime. So sit back, relax, and check out nature’s yogis.

This baboon, in the yoga position known as the Cobbler’s Pose, appears serene in Mole National Park in Northern Ghana. If you see a baboon yawning, however, watch out. Baboons will yawn to reveal their teeth when trying to intimidate rivals. Image by Stig Nygaard

This lizard suns himself while in the Cobra Pose at the Rainforest Discovery Centre in Sabah, Malaysia. Lizards tend to be sluggish at night and more chipper during the day, but not necessarily because they’re sleepy. Their metabolism goes up and down with the ambient temperature, so when it’s sunny and warm they’re more alert. Image by Angela Sevin

A downward-facing giraffe performs the Downward-Facing Dog at the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo in Indiana. Giraffes sleep only about 4.6 hours a night and will sometimes sleep while standing up. Image by Devin Westhause

This rabbit stretches out his powerful back legs in the Cobra Pose. Rabbits are crepuscular, meaning they’re most active at dawn and dusk, and most chill during peak daylight and dark. Image by Porsupah Ree

This turtle was spotted from a kayak in the Balancing Stick Pose at the Briery Creek Wildlife Management Area in Virginia. While turtles and tortoises are famously retiring, their relaxed pace is in part due to their shells, which restrict leg movement. Also, you’d be slow too if you carried your house on your back.

A sea bird kicks back, and to the side, in the pose fittingly named Bird of Paradise while on a beach in Ocracoke, North Carolina. Many birds when kicking back are able to rest just one side of their brains at a time, a phenomenon known as unihemispheric sleep, which essentially lets them catch some shut eye with one eye open for predators.

This lemur at the Budapest Zoo in Hungary is contorted into a variation on the Firefly Pose. It’s possible to tell whether a lemur sleeps during the day or at night from his size; the smaller a lemur is the more likely he is to be nocturnal. Image by Rudolf Frank

This meerkat is at rest in the yoga move known as the Child’s Pose. Meerkats don’t store a lot of extra body fat, so to stay warm they sleep in big, cuddly groups in their underground burrows. Image by Valeria Mezzano
