The Upside of Down Dog

Just got done doing a yoga video that a friend recommended. It was a great workout...challenging to the point that I got all jelly-legged and shaky. It worked on strength and flexiblity and made me centered and peaceful. Great, huh? But I wonder if this DVD is really geared toward yoga enthusiasts or pervs.

Why?

Because the production quality made it look like a soft core porn video.

The 'class' was made up of both women and men all dressed in white. The women wore traditional yoga gear while the men were all bare chested and wearing underwear (or it sure looked like underwear). One guy had boxers, another had those briefs that came down to mid-thigh. The lead instructor has this long curly hair and a calm speaking voice.

My problem was (1) should I just sit back and watch this thing or (2) actually follow along? Since I had a hankering for yoga I chose to follow his voice and not gawk at the TV screen very much. What a killjoy I am! In one section the instructor had his arm wrapped around the waist of one of the female students while he encouraged us all to deepen our stretch.

Uh, right.

After my workout I shared my impressions with Hubby. He admitted to watching morning workout shows with chicks in bikinis. So I guess there is the perfect workout video for us all. And we don't even need to exercise (in the traditional sense).
