//------------------------------// // 6. Yoga with Sela Sloth // Story: EqG Tales: Enchantimals Edition // by Brian Sheil //------------------------------// As the sun rises to welcome a new day to Canterlot City, Twilight Sparkle gets in shape by jogging in the neighborhood. Wearing a sky blue shirt, black spandex shorts and purple sneakers, Twilight paces herself. One mile later, she stops for a break. “I don’t know how Rainbow Dash puts up with this.” Twilight thought. “But, even I need to be athletic sometimes.” Soon, she sees a light tan skinned girl with wavy brown hair, brown and white around the eyes, and wearing a long sleeve magenta shirt and blue Capri exercise pants doing yoga exercises in Tree Hugger’s backyard. “It’s Sela Sloth.” Twilight figured quietly. “She one of the most relaxed citizens of Junglewood.” As Twilight starts to leave, a southern female voice calls to her. “Good morning, Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight turns, and sees Sela wave to her. “Oh. Hi, Sela.” Twilight replied nervously. “No need to be shy.” Sela said. “Come over.” Twilight walks slowly walks to the backyard. She enters and walks to Sela. “You wanted to see me?” Twilight wondered. “Sure do.” Sela replied. “You look like you can use some relaxation. And, yoga can help.” “Studying for a while can be stressful. And, hearing about citizens of Everwilde visiting made me more uneasy.” Sela went to comfort Twilight. “Then, why not practice some yoga with me. Tree Hugger often has extra mats for you.” Soon, Tree Hugger comes out with a purple mat. “I thought that was you, Twilight.” Tree Hugger said as she hands the brainy girl the mat. “You definitely need to chill out.” After unrolling her mat, Twilight took off her shoes, and stepped on the mat. “Okay, Twilight.” Sela said after putting on some calm music. “Follow my lead.” Soon, Twilight was stretching along said Sela. While doing a tree pose, Twilight bent her leg only a little bit, knowing she’s a little unbalanced. Twilight saw things on a different angle while doing downward facing dog. She even smiled a little. Later, the girls sat cross legged on their mats. “Feeling a bit better?” Sela asked. “I feel a lot better, Sela.” Twilight replied. She then noticed something strange. “Where’s your little friend: Treebody?” Just then, a sloth climbed down, and slowly moved to Twilight. She looks at the sloth, and smiled. “There you are.” Twilight chirped. “My dog, Spike, would like to meet you.” “I guess Treebody senses calmness within you, Twi.” Sela calmly said. The girls soon proceeded with their meditation, with Treebody sitting with them peacefully.
