Nope... Nuh-uh...

I heard you mumbling in here. You okay?

Yeah. It's just that they haven't lost much weight...

Do you think I should— whoa!

What's with the outfit?!

I bought some new gear, so I wanted to show it off!

Oh, for yoga? You've been way into it lately.

A friend of mine opened up a new studio.

Hot Yoga Studio

Drop by sometime and give it a try!

You can rent the place out!

Hi, ladies. It's nice to see you again.

Why'd ya dwag us here?

Now, now... He says it'll help us lose weight. Where's the harm?

Shut your twap! I don't give a wat's ass, so wemme go!

It's uncomfortably warm in this building...

I'm gonna turn into merrow jerky!

You told us to meet you here for a workout session,

but what exactly are we doing?

Are we boxing again?

Not this time.

Then... are we dancing?

Wait, is this a torture chamber?!

No, of course not!

Wow, for real? These losers must live under a rock!

Sounds like you know what we're doing, Oga.

In that case, do you mind...?

Sure, I'll give 'em the rundown.

I appreciate it.

Go ahead and take this.

What is it?

So ya finawwy caved, eh, human?

No, it's not a bribe! It's clothes and towels!

There are lockers in the back, so feel free to use them.

Alright, follow me!

'Kay, we're ready!

Sorry for the wait.

Wh-Wh-Why are you naked?!

Whaddya mean?

'Cause it's a sauna. Duh.

Time to bare our souls, amirite?

In my case, it's bare-bones!

I wonder where the ice baths are...

A friendly word of advice: put a towel down before you sit.

That is, if you don't want to embarrass yourself like that flab-biscuit of an elf over there.

Hey! You did exactly the same thing!

Ladies! Put your clothes back on!

Don't touch me, you potato-headed pissant!

You're the one who started it, Butt-cheeks McGee!

Calm down, you two!

This is quite the pickle...

What's the matter, Mr. Human?

Just forget about them and crank up the heat.

It's NOT a sauna!

Now PLEASE get dressed!

"Hot yoga"?

Oh! I read about yoga in a dieting book once.

It's a type of fitness training that emphasizes physical posture and breathing techniques.

Correct.

When practiced in a high-heat, high-humidity environment,

it's referred to as "hot yoga."

That's completely differ'nt than what the ogre told us!

Saunas are hot and humid, so it's close enough, right?

In a manner of speaking...

Well, I'm down for anything, but... will it help us lose weight?

Absolutely!

It can also reduce inflammation, resulting in a slimmer face.

A slim face...

Yoga makes it easier to lose weight by boosting your metabolism.

It's a popular form of exercise.

Oooh...

Now, everyone stand on top of your yoga mats.

All you have to do is imitate my poses.

That's amazing!

But what if we can't? My body isn't very flexible...

Not a problem!

We'll start with some poses that are suitable for everyone, even beginners.

Alright then, let's get started!

I want each of you to sit cross-legged on your mat.

'Kay!

Does that count as cross-legged?

Well, she IS sitting. A dog can only do so much.

I'm not a dog.

This is a foundational yoga pose called "Sukhasana."

It's important to avoid canting your pelvis forward or backward.

A pelvic tilt can cause your stomach to stick out.

What?!

That's perfect, Kuroeda!

Try to copy the way she's keeping her hips flat against the floor.

The hell are you smirking at?!

Don't get bent out of shape!

Focus on your posture and your breathing, and relax...

Relax your shoulders... Take controlled breaths...

This pose is often used during meditation, too.

I'm all sweaty and we aren't even moving...

I'm gonna shrivel up and die!

Don't forget to drink plenty of water.

Got it!

Good job!

Let's move on to some poses that target specific areas of the body!

This one's pretty tough...

"Supine Spinal Twist" is a pose that improves digestion

and can also boost your metabolism.
