Yoga for gamers

Here’s an ad for Konami’s Doko Demo Yoga, a 3D yoga trainer for the Nintendo DS. The ad makes me laugh, because the dulcet, artificially perky tones of J-babes on TV are the exact opposite of becoming comfortable in your yogic skin. They remind me of some salseras from Japan whom I’ve danced with, highly technical and rigid with their turns.

Oh, East Asia. Is there anything desi you can’t improve?

    I’m trying to figure out how you learn yoga from a handheld gaming device.

    Do you have to hang on to it the entire time?

    “i’m dating myself”

    Is that before or after you saw the J-babes in hot pants?

    When I was in Nippon-land I noticed yoga was big - the friend I stayed with and his family were all very keen.
