“It’s Not Sexy, It’s Yoga” vs. “It’s Not Fitness, It’s Life”
Surely by now you’ve seen the original, if not minorly scandalous Equinox yoga video, featuring Briohny Smyth. Well, it’s a great week for the yoga world now that humorist Michael A. Stusser (“The Dead Guy Interviews”) takes his yoga skills to the next level with a spot on parody of the original.
The Parody…
VS.
The Original…
Stusser’s interview about the video with Well+GoodNYC has some great lines…
W+G: As a humorist, was doing a parody an immediate idea or did it occur to you during savasana epiphany?
MS: I’m sure I got the idea while stoned out of my mind and blaring Deer Tick but I seriously don’t remember. Before I even did the video, a lot of people had mentioned how much my practice looked like this woman, Briohny Smyth’s – who I’d never heard of. So it might have had something to do with that…
I think they look just about the same, yes/no? Good fun though…
Daily Cup of Yoga 
I think this is one of the best things about yoga. I wake up in the morning feeling lumpy like the guy…but after some yoga, walk off the mat feeling like the lady.
