VWX Yoga Zombies*
Am I the only one who, when they are at yoga and the instructor tells says to do chair pose and everyone in the room raises their arms straight out in front of them, thinks that it looks like you are in a room full of zombies? Like this:
For the record, this is not one of my yoga classes. I don’t think it would be very conducive to my practice to be taking photos while I’m supposed to be concentrating on melting my heart, rooting my feet and engaging my thymus. Also, it probably wouldn’t be too conducive to my camera to bring it into a 40 degree room and drip sweat all over it. The photo is actually from the City of Edmonton’s Flickr photostream and it was posted with a Creative Commons license that allows me to remix/adapt the photo. Thus, I made the yogis into zombies and it’s totally legal, though the City of Edmonton does request, via the Creative Commons licence, that I attribute the photo to them but not in any way that suggests that they endorse my use of their photo to turn yogis into zombies. So consider yourself notified of such.
*Title is an homage to my friend Cath’s blog, VWXYNot, because when I originally wrote the title as “Yoga Zombies,” I noticed the YZ and, well, my brain immediately went to VWXYZ. VWXYNot is, in turn, an homage to Douglas Adams. So it’s double homages all the way.

I think you’re too preciously clever for your own good, Snow!
Oh great, now I will forever associate going into the chair position to zombies (awesome!).
i always thought people went to yoga were more like sheeple but this proves I am wrong, will always bring a chainsaw to Lululemon now for protection and when they mock me for being a fat, smoker.
@Kalev – I’m going to take that as a compliment!
@Anne – Sorry!
@Steven – Aim for the head. You must destroy the brain to kill the zombie. You can never be too prepared for the zombie apocalypse.
Love it!
