No-maste!

Releasing on Netflix tomorrow: Christoga: Christian Yoga

"Actress Janine Turner joins forces with fitness expert Mary Cunningham to create a routine that combines hatha yoga and Christian meditation for a workout that exercises both body and soul. Using biblical Scripture, Turner and Cunningham give Christian names to traditional yoga poses. As you perform Christ Exalted, Mighty Disciple and Salvation Rotation, you'll feel your spirit stretching along with your muscles."

There are too many obvious things to make fun of here (Janine Turner, has it really come to this?) but my main problem is with the name. In making a punny name, you can't just take two words that share nothing in common like "Christian" and "Yoga" and throw them together. Even "Yoga-weh" or "Chi-sus" would be better than "Christoga". Also, the idea of marketing yoga to Christian women who are scared of learning new, non-American words is funny and true.

Downward facing dogma!

It sounds like some sort of crispy and delicious sandwich. I'd love a christoga, no mayo.

TOTALLY off topic, but noone else on the interwebs seem to be able to help me...so i came to you!

On Flight Of The Conchords last night, Dave let Brett borrow a t-shirt of a cartoon mouse (rat?) having sex with a dead mouse (rat?) caught in a mousetrap. WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS SHIRT BEFORE!?!?!?

Um, yoga is based in Hindu religion, folks. Why do Christians have to "Christianize" everything?

[Rebecca]

My mom is a born-again Christian and they started offering something similar at her church and she got really upset because yoga originated from Hindu. In otherwords, Christian Yoga is STILL yoga and therefore evil.

And THATS how much she loves Jesus.

Let's not knock Janie Turner, she was in the Pebody award winning TV movie Walker Texas Ranger Trial by Fire.

...and The Love Boat.
