Military Exoskeleton

I would really love one of these bad boys to help me out with my asana practice every now and again.

Nintendo Wii Fit: Video Game Yoga

09:10 AM

REMARKS (0)

Adidas Play Yoga: Ambient Esoteric Significance

10:55 AM

REMARKS (2)

Adidas has begun to accept its dharma as a perpetrator of yoga. It still may have some time to awaken fully to this duty, but many long time yoga practitioners have found kinship with the cosmic, yet down-to-earth, vibrations of...

12:21 PM

REMARKS (2)

Anyway, after a few billions of years, our sun will also disappear, so that's the end of the whole world. Isn't it? (Laughs). From that perspective, it's not much use to fight: my interest, your interest; my place, your place;...

12:06 PM

REMARKS (1)

Some cultural critics might argue that remix and appropriation are newly emergent epi-phenomena of the digital world, where copies easily replicate and proliferate freely. But this flow is far from new, and this very drift could be seen as an...
