Hey Yoga Girl

These guys are kinda legit.  This video is fabulous in it’s mockery of the superficial aspects of yoga.  I fear that popular culture is turning yoga into the opposite of it’s intended use.  As the popularity of yoga increases, so do the various techniques and philosophies. A few months ago I found myself in crow pose with “Not Afraid” by Eminem being blasted into the surround sound speakers.  As beads of sweat dripped down my sports bra, I felt like I was trapped in a scene from a rap video.  This vision shattered all hopes of quieting my mind as Eminem’s angry voice relentlessly cursed at me through the speakers. I am in full support of the widespread growth of yoga practices, however I think its important that we not lose sight of it’s origins. Katie
