Trying out yoga for the first time on your own is hard, and even if you've had plenty of experience stretching out on the mat, it's still best to have someone by your side who really knows what they're doing.
But now a hotel in England is offering its guests to partner up with a very unusual kind of instructor. A small, furry one with stripes. Yes, I'm talking about a place that's giving you the chance to door outdoor yoga with a group of adorable lemurs!
Take a look at the lemurs in action in this video:According to a report by BBC News, Armathwaite Hall, near Keswick in the Lake District, has launched a series of outside yoga classes with the ring-tailed lemurs, (who live at a nearby wildlife park) for the price of £50 ($60) per person for an hour-long session.
The hotel's official website states: "One of our team will give you the background to lemur life whilst preparing food and enrichment for the troop. Following this, prepare to be enchanted by these inquisitive, gentle creatures who will delight you for the rest of your experience. They may even join you by sitting on your shoulder, head or lap so you can get up close and personal to them! Selfies are obligatory!"
Richard Robinson, manager of the wildlife park, told BBC News: "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."
He added "I don't think you ever see an unhappy zookeeper. 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."
