The video isn’t derided because it was edited. The video isn’t derided because it was put on youtube. The video is derided because it is creepy. You wouldn’t have a chance in hell of having a Michael Jacksonesque sleepover with milk and cookies with my kids, you dick. Just because you have a copyright doesn’t mean your product can’t be mocked for the tard factor.

I just felt dirty after watching the Youtube video. It’s completely creepy to see some old whack job touching little kids like that. What’s next Hippie Yoga Farmer holding 12 y/o boys whilst they play COD on the XBOX? How about perfecting 13 y/o girls golf swings with his arms around their waste?

Your husband might be a jedi master for all I care but that is a creepy, disturbing, borderline sexual video. It’s funny because its absolutely horrible.

Makes Fox News viewers look like Rhodes scholars? What the hell is that all about? She complains about prejudice and then goes on to judge and stereotype a large group of people in the next sentence! I saw the stupid clip and didn’t think he was creepy or a pedo, I think kids should be encouraged to learn yoga if they want to. However to insinuate that a large portion of the country is ignorant because of a channel that they watch IS ignorant, even if that channel is supportive of a political party more obviously than other channels (because they all are). Take a dose of your own medicine lady.

We have loved “playing” with Yogi Oki Doki and farm friends in our home for over 10 years. It has a great way to do yoga together as a family.

You know what ?
I saw the “Everything is terriable” version and I found myself wanting to get a copy of the actual video. NOT to make fun of it, but because I enjoyed it.

It looks like a great video and it really gets the needed fun factor that children need in order to be interested. If I can find a DVD someplace of this video, I’ll buy it !!

Yogi Ogi Doki is cool.

I don’t believe in judging a person by a badly edited video, and that it was. It clearly took the actual yoga video out of context. But still, you can take a single bit or two from the video and note the strange unacceptable behavior of the instructor. Looking at a child dressed in red and treating him or her like yummy food to eat is just not right in our culture. And the way the guy hugged those kids was, and I hate to sound stereotypical here, typical of a pedophiles behavior around kids. I have witnessed this myself over the years. Pedophiles give off an aura much like gay people. Most of the time it is obvious. It is especially obvious in the more strange individuals. I don’t think anyone should condemn the yoga instructor and label him a pedo. But I do think his style of “fun” for children is worthy of an investigation.

Ummm…. no offense, but you just made the whole thing a bit worse. I’m sure that the yogi is not a creeper, but the show did make him appear to be one.

After seeing the clip during the 2Everything2Terrible II tour (yes — those clever folks are thankfully undeterred by this nonsense), I went out and purchased a copy of E-i E-i Yoga, to add to my collection and as a gift. The manner in which the clip was edited was thoroughly hilarious, yet as a somewhat intelligent person (who, incidentally, practices yoga as exercise as well as philosophy — more on that later) I was able to infer the value of the original programming, as well.

Unfortunately, after seeing Mrs. Maxwell’s response and learning of her oppressive behavior in having the youtube account shut down, I am somewhat unsettled at my financial support for her production.

The value of yoga is not only physical, but spiritual. Mrs. Maxwell would be advised to learn the concept of “equanimity” and integrate it into her life. It is simply the notion that if one is at peace with the world, then one will have equal reaction to any outcome of a given action or phenomenon.

If Mrs. Maxwell reacts to a mockery of her husband with such contempt, then clearly she has not learned much from her practice of yoga. Perhaps it can be something more than a profitable video business venture for her, or a means to staying thin and flexible. But, then, perhaps not.
