Aug 19 2010Surprised, Why Am I Not?: Star Wars Yoga
These are a few Star Wars themed yoga poses because, dammit, a Jedi doesn't stay limber huffing The Force alone. No, they have to actually exercise to stay fit. Except Yoda, he just drinks swamp water and lets internal parasites do all the work (smart thinking, prune).
This was all from the mind of Matthew Latkiewicz, who posted it on his personal site You Will Not Believe last year.
Besides the ridiculously awesome positions, and their names, there's also e-mail correspondents between George Lucas and Steve Jones (Senior VP, LucasFilm Marketing and Brand Strategy). The e-mails are intended to convince Lucas into endorsing a Star Wars brand of yoga.I'm thinking that your atypical Star Wars fan couldn't pull these moves off. But, maybe they'll start taking some yoga to get them warmed up after seeing the pics.
As a man who's actually attended a yoga class before, I've got to admit: I think it's something I could really get into I farted so loud it cleared the room. They even canceled the abs class after!
Hit the jump for a whole bunch more poses.

Thanks to Piper, Troy, Jacquie and Romeo, who all attend yoga classes but only on the days they get to use the big bouncy balls.

I know it's lame of me to laugh at poor grammar, but HAHAHAHAHAHA.
There are certainly email correspondents, but what there has been is email correspondence. Also, an atypical Star Wars fan would have no problem pulling off these moves, I think it's the typical fan that would have issues. (Not that I agree, but I think that's what they were going for.)
Kinda like when people use "literally" to mean "not literally". Makes me want to peg them with spiky objects.

@8 this is true, lol.
I also think most fans could pull off Both of the AT-AT poses, along with the Reclined Jabba. I know I can and I am still a fan.

@9: Most refreshing comment I've ever read. Gold stars for dayz.
@GW: I still love you. And literally LOLing at the Yoda drinking swamp water comment.

The half I am your father pose is my favorite. Particularly like the leg for cape action...
