Sara Jean Underwood Playboy’s Yoga Full Video
I did not. I’m glad I know now…. because this is the kind of yoga that I could get in to.
Sara Jean Underwood is a model and actress who was chosen as the Playmate of the Month for the July 2006 then followed that up with becoming Playmate of the Year in 2007. She is a former host of Attack of the Show! on G4.
This video is straight fire and like 10 minutes long. Interestingly enough, after you get past the naked part of it, you actually come to appreciate the yoga in this shit. She’s good. I mean, its not like she is doing any super hard poses and this is very much a beginners yoga lesson, but as an avid practitioner of yoga, Sara and Playboy hit the ball out of the part with this one.
I was among several who broke the news on the existence of “Playboy Yoga” a few years back—I swear, I just read elephant for the yoga.
And I’m personally of the opinion that this is fine if it gets folks beyond lust—the videos aren’t that sexy—and back to thinking about yoga. Likely, this video will attract folks who normally don’t belong to the “yoga demographic”—and I’m good with that. But there are serious concerns, too—touched on in my original blog, “Now we’ve seen everything.*”
But we’ve never shared the nude version. Until now.
A few years after the controversy’s died down, I think we’re ready. Or, not. Either way, here ’tis. It’s just a naked body—and, yet, it’s
…the ultimate challenge to those “Yobo” fans who say that Yoga for Weight Loss, Disco Yoga, Bikram, Adidas Yoga with (my friend) Rainbeau Mars and Yoga without all that annoying Granola, Chanting or Sanskrit may not be “traditional yoga” (a moving target in and of itself)…but nevertheless may help open the door to those who might not ordinarily be interested in pure yoga, true yoga, quality yoga.
Just the url itself is enough to provoke convulsions, grimaces, grins, vomiting and/or ogling. Beauty—or otherwise—is in the eye of the beholder.
This is provocative stuff—it raises some tough questions about the Future of Yoga.
In any case, as the Buddhists say, it’s our obstacles or enemies that are our best friends, provoking self-examination, questioning and growing pains.
