Дет Метъл йога в Ню Йорк

Yoga enthusiasts enjoyed a unique form of the ancient discipline during a session of 'death metal yoga' in New York, Sunday. The idea is the brainchild of German expatriate Saskia Thode, who claims that death metal yoga "is a lot deeper" than other types of yoga "because you can really let go of your emotions." Participants are stretched into different yoga positions, but with a death metal twist, such as Thode's original 'fuck you' pose with participants sticking their middle fingers up as they stretch themselves. Other poses include the 'destroyer' pose and the 'stage diving' pose. Yoga is a popular form of exercise in the USA, with its participants growing from 4 million in 2001 to 20 million in 2011. Its growth in popularity has lead to the creation of many variations of the original Indian practice. Death metal yoga joins yoga's other modern intonations including Bikram yoga where participants endure temperatures of 105 Fahrenheit as they complete their 'frog' poses, their 'downward-facing dogs' and their 'cow faced' positions.
