Laughter If Gandhi took a yoga class

That's very funny. But I don't think Gandhi had to worry about a mortgage or credit card debt.
Or maybe that's why he sold all his clothes and went around in a bed sheet.

He may not have had to worry about a mortgage or debt but he worried about a whole nation's freedom from Imperialism & the partition of a great country into two countries & the terrible violence that would follow.
What he wore is a 'dhoti' a traditional item of clothing still worn by many Indians even today. His was special as he wove the cotton himself on a traditional spinning wheel as a protest against the British who were buying cheap cotton from India, exporting it back to the UK & then sending it back to India to be sold to the locals at exorbitant prices.
He was a great soul & a wise man, a man who practised Yoga in its truest form. The father of modern India.

Hi, Mala. I didn't mean to make light of Gandhi. I respected him as a great humanitarian and human being.
I was just trying to get a laugh. I know he had very heavy concerns and gave his life for them.

@Ollin I think that is the purpose of the video. Not so much laughing at Gandhi but more at the instructors, the way yoga is learned & is being taught The sarcasm about the names of the poses, what is being worn, the idea of fasting highlight the whole superficiality of what essentially is a way of life & how little understanding there is about the many components that make yoga what it is.
