Yoga by Equinox Parody - Awesome

Briohny Smyth must be totally jealous. Humorist Michael A. Stusser ("The Dead Guy Interviews") spoofs the recent "controversial" yoga video from Equinox and the beautiful, inspirational and, yes, sexy Briohny Smyth.

Robert Downey Jr. covers Men's Fitness magazine, where he's photographed getting his yoga on with our friend, rock-star yogi, Vinnie Marino! 

Downey Jr. is a big-time yogi and big fan of Vinnie Marino. Robert says, "Vinnie is the ultimate yoga instructor...skilled, occasionally brutal, yet compassionate and witty."

Downey talked to TIME magazine a while back about his commitment to yoga and staying well:

Supine on a love seat in his home at the end of a leafy cul-de-sac in Brentwood, Calif., Downey attempts to explain his improbable comeback. Like many of his stories, this one meanders poetically and involves, oh, several hundred kung-fu metaphors. "I've just been at the ready, and when the opening was there, I hit it," Downey says. "Guard your centerline, watch the lead elbow, look for an opening, make contact, exchange, advance or retreat and stay connected." He's fit, mellow and reflective after a morning of power-flow yoga with his teacher Vinnie Marino, part of what could be called Team New Downey, a large coterie that includes yogis, massage therapists, martial-arts instructors and people who know about herbs. "I need a lot of support... Life is really hard, and I don't see some active benevolent force out there. I see it as basically a really cool survival game. You get on the right side of the tracks, and you now are actually working with what some people would call magic. 

Sh*t Yogis Say

You wanna see where I can put my leg? You want to see where I can put my leg.
