I guess I'm about as surprised as I would be if I found out Himmler was a runner or liked to play a sport. Yoga is wonderful but it's not so far removed from other physical exertions. It has been elevated to something loftier than other exercises, but why? Is there not zen in running or even skipping rope?
I guess there is certainly an ironic comedic aspect to picturing Himmler doing downward dog. But the Nazi's were just people. Horribly misguided people that apparently liked yoga. Actually, who am I kidding.... that's just weird.
