If you're not creeped out, I'm not doing my job

Never before have I seen a yoga instructor or children's television host show up on the creepy continuum.

Now I have, and he's a two-fer.

I found this video courtesy of another ChicagoNow blogger, Maya Henderson at Breath, Body and Balance:




*UPDATED:
This video is not from a children's TV show. It is from a 1997 instructional video, "E-i-E-i Yoga: for Kids". As if that makes it better.

  1. That is pretty disturbing, Bubs.

  2. I'm trying to figure out how this is instructional in any way. It's just yucky and freaking weird. In fact, I think it is more just flat out weird than sick.

  3. Kids' Yoga & cheap Acid make for a better tomorrow.

    Yogi Oakie Dokie or whatever his name is seems to have better form than the Rave Goddesses in Animal Yoga.

  4. Bill, that may be, but at least those girls aren't going hands-on with kids in leotards, or giving out unsolicited hugs. Yeesh.

  5. What's up with those pants????

    Whatever is going on there, it really doesn't look comfortable.
    At all.

  6. You've succeeded. Seems as much like a creepy preacher as a barnyard yogi' -- somewhere between Jim Bakker & Ted Haggard . . .
