Students of culture, please note the emergence of yoga kitsch as a new species of van art in the 21st century.

I'm sorry, but yoga or no, that is cool. Because it's also hundreds of people gathered together to sit, be peaceful and enjoy the day. It's really hard to motivate people to do that sort of thing. Especially quietly and without a greater cause. I can't even get myself to do that most mornings.

I think yoga is pretty cool. I think panoramic photos are pretty cool. I think the combination can also be cool. But I'm not that excited about a field of raised, inverted asses.

Maybe the butts aren't big enough.

That is, one might say, a buttload of butts in the air.

Ooooh, such a nice feeling to let the picture spin slowly with everyone's feet in the air.

They're dressed in brahmacharya yellow with a genuine, orange-robed, Indian swami supervising, so I wouldn't say their yoga itself is kitschy. How how are you defining "kitsch"?" in the totalitarian sense? or do you just mean "camp"? Do you mean the artwork of the photographs, the subjects themselves, or both? Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party? I guess that's what I'm tryin to figger out here.

I fear our friend Faze has fallen under the influence of Dr. Bad Vibes.
