Video of the Week - Indian Boys' Yoga Demo
Demonstrations like these are not uncommon in India, which is where I'm assuming this video was shot - although for the life of me, I can't figure out why the soundtrack is playing tacky Russian folk music.

The music is in fact a humorous tune about Hinduism and reincarnation. It is a light-hearted, even inspirational song aimed at an audience whose exposure to Yoga and Hindu thought has been limited. The lyrics say not to stress out about death, but if you want a better life next go round, then strive to do good in this one. It's a style that is popular and traditional in Russia. In my opinion, it's culturally insensitive to call it "tacky."
