Amazing. I can’t paraphrase. Read this from the NYTimes City Room blog, “Taking the Yoga ‘Corpse’ Pose Literally” by Jennifer 8. Lee:
“Have you ever wished you could do downward dog with a decomposing body? Well, City Room hasn’t (doing the crow with an intact body is still an insurmountable challenge), but this combination apparently has been a niche fantasy with some population of New Yorkers.

About 75 people showed up in Williamsburg’s East River State Park for an (online) open casting call for the filming of a yoga zombie video on Sunday. “The zombie blogs were only mildly interested in it, it was the yoga blogs,” said Jason Wishnow, the director of the video.
“The R.S.V.P. responses from the yoga blogs were like: ‘I love yoga and I love zombie movies. I’ve been waiting for this!’ It was the chocolate and the peanut butter thing for all these people.
”While the crew had a make-up artist on set, many of the yoga practitioners showed up in their zombie get-ups, ready to go. Mr. Wishnow was impressed by his extras, saying: “Everyone took zombiedom very seriously. There was a lot of groaning and discomfort of their decomposing bodies as they would attempt yoga maneuvers.”
Wow.
According to an interview on the Chicago Tribune blog, Michael Moore is trying to loose weight and get in shape. Yoga is next.
“Q: You are so ready for yoga.
“A: I’m telling you, that’s my next step. I’ve been putting it off because you have to get down on the ground, but they say you can start practicing in your chair.”
Moore says he weighs between 300 and 305 pounds.
in Weird.Canadian comedian Mike Myers was kicked out of yoga for laughing at a neighboring yogi’s farts…. it’s true…. as reported on contactmusic.com
“SHREK star MIKE MYERS was kicked out of his favourite Los Angeles yoga class because he couldn’t contain himself when a mat neighbour kept farting. The funnyman admits he couldn’t concentrate and everytime his gassy pal let rip, he started giggling. The comic explains, “This guy kept farting and I am not very mature… I’m the youngest of three boys and if somebody farts, it’s funny. “They were like, ‘We’re not here to laugh..’ but then he did it a second time, louder, and did it a third time and it sounded like a machine gun and I could not stop laughing.” Myers was floored when the farter then turned to him and said, “I had a bad Chinese.”
