This is possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen. I know zoos are controversial, but there is no better solution to a problem started decades ago than making sure they do things like this to give the animals the most enriching life possible. And AZA members do a lot of work with conservation, so these animals can help their wildlife counterparts.
Such a heartwarming video! It just goes to show that exercise is good for all humans and animals! I love finding out more about elephants because they’re such lovable animals who feel emotions and can only bare one offspring at a time like humans 🐘
Im not a 6000 pound 40 year old Mom but I feel like one, 😂 Maybe Yoga will work for me 🎉 But I think I need the treats, too... lol. There is something incredibly adorable about this❤And what do you do?...I am an elephant yoga instructor ❤😂
How do you teach an elephant handstands? Also how is he keeping his balance? Okay it’s an indian not african elephant so maybe he’s closer to the yogi culture but I still don’t get how you bring an elephant to lift his “feet” off the earth to do that
To the anti-zoo bunch: ❤ Of course captivity isn't optimal, but these are endangered animals. Good zoos - and there are lots of them - do so much for conservation awareness and fund raising to help vet care and genetic diversity. We all know Earth needs triage. Let's be on the same team. Paz y luz, everyone. 🌏🍃🦋🐘🐘🔭🌙✨💙
Zoos make me sad but you are right . Seeing some rich guy holding up the severed tail of a wild elephant he paid a million bucks to destroy is devastating . We have to love , protect and learn from the species who try to survive us . Whether it's in the wild or in a zoo we are on the same team .🐘
I am glad these elephants are getting yoga training to improve their health, but not being locked behind bars will improve their health even more. SMH🤦♀️
All that beautiful focus on well being, exercise and keeping eyes on possible health issues...and then I hear they feed them bread...why? Elephants bodies don't eat bread in the wild, their beautiful bodies were not built or meant to process bread. Please eliminate the bread from their diet?
@@jasmineenimsajtheir habits are being destroyed and fragmented. They are being killed. In the last year or so, so many also died due to drought. We got to eliminate some bad humans to make it possible for them to go back and live happily. It’s a bad situation for wild animals.
Poor animals in prison for ever so people can go entertain themselves looking at inocent animals in prison .......oh but they educate to make the sacrifice worth NOT
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 positive reinforcement???? wild animals don’t need trainers. This is so annoying. I watch kevin Richard of how he treat the animals by keeping them doing what they doing when in the wild.
Amazing 👏🏻 makes my heart smile!!!😊 wish every zoo would do this!!!!🙏🙏🙏

This is the type of random news I need in my life!

those elephants are more flexible than I am

I love ❤❤❤❤ this!!
How does this video not have more views?!?! This is amazing stuff!!!
So cool! This is the news we need these days! 😂
They’ve basically rebranded circus training as yoga. Those are the same “poses” they do.
Looked familiar 🥴
exactly they did not learn
to do that without training with hooks when young
This totally made my (birth)day! 🎉
Happy belated birthday 🎉
Happy birthday! 🎉
If they could teach the elephants yoga surely they could teach them to clean up after themselves 😂
Can't believe there are no elephant wet yoga classes in 2023 😂
So amazing!
That's ashame , even the elephants do excercises but me 😂 🐘🐘🐘 😅
Awe so cute
I'm not sure how i feel about this lol
Im high asf . This is top quality TH-cam right here.
If you want to become elephant trainer first you must buy elephant..
This is so cute!!

You know what else would help their mental and physical health… not keeping them in cages
Then we would likely have to get rid of a whole bunch of bad humans. Humans are a serious threat to them in all aspects.

Too cool😎✌️❤️🌼
Poor animals
How is this different from teaching eles tricks?
it is not, it is pure circus. They know the command
🐘☯️
Yoga? In Texas?? But that's so... WOKE! ;)
This is tragic! These elephants should be free, not trapped in a zoo for human entertainment and exploitation.
That part. It’s a circus act with a modern marketing scheme . Call spade a spade. Release them back to their habitat.
