Yoga Face Selfie Gurus Inspire Photoshop Activists to Put Mr. Bean's Face into Every Movie and Painting in the Known World

Image
A movement has begun that involves online photoshop activists taking the face of Mr. Bean (aka Rowan Atkinson), a known Yoga Face Selfie guru, and inserting it into already popular movies and paintings to give classic works new life. We here at the Yoga Face Selfie Blog expect there is a correlation between this and the movie poster image of JAWS , which likely started this trend.  Art historians everywhere are rejoicing as it is now impossible to dig through the depths of the internet to find unadulterated images of such paintings as Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa". This uptick in museum attendance has been lauded as one of the many unexpected societal bonus's of the Yoga Face Selfie 2.0 technique.  Below you will find an assortment of the creativity as previous showcased on Bored Panda and now showcased below.    This post is an act of satire. Stay tuned to this blog and all o...

"Your Beliefs Don't Make You a Better Person, Yoga Face Does." - Inspired by a Sukhraj S. Dillon Quote

Image
"Your beliefs don't make you a better person, yoga face does." was inspired by a quote by Sukhraj S. Dillon, "Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behaviour does." I love how by switching words contained in inspirational quotes and completely transform the meaning and, if you're lucky, will also give you a better understanding of how the quote works. This one, for example, is largely based on confirmation bias. When confirmation bias is in effect, we will assume that other people will have the same concept of what behaviour will make you a "better" person. Culture to culture that idea of actions or behaviours that will make you a "better" person will shift. If you replace the word "behaviour" with a specific action, you will undoubtable lose a portion of your audience that feel the action your have described does not actually make you a better person. This is interesting stuff, I think. 

Finding the Visionary Yogi in John Candy

Image
Ever seen the movie Delirious , starring John Candy? Well, up until recently neither had I. And, if I’m being completely honest, I still haven’t.  But you know what I have seen? The trailer. And I’ve embedded it below so you can see it as well. From what I’ve been able to gather scanning the trailer and the first few Google search results, the movie has something to do with a soap writer (played, I think, by Candy) who gets hit on the head and wakes up as a character in his own show, allowing him to manipulate characters….making people fall in love with him, fall out of love with each other, etc. The films was a commercial and critical failure…..but the public and critics sadly don’t know the meaning of namaste….and profundity of this brilliant piece of work is lost on them. Sadly, this work has aged better than those pretentious newspaper mouth-breathers could ever have hoped to. They are so far from Samadhi (the state of complete Self-actualization for you non-Yog...

It's inspiring to see how our guru's quotes have inspired other inspirational speakers!

Image
I was just on the Cool People Doing Cool Things Instagram account and stumbled across the saying "It's amazing what you can do when you're determined and have no money" by Shannon from Retro Sweat. I'm always on  Instagram , and I'm always honoured by how many other inspirational speakers are able to use the words of our guru to inspire whatever passion burns inside them. In fact, our guru often says "It's amazing the Yoga Face Selfies you can do when you're determined and have no money", which I expect may have been the inspirational quote that helped Shannon fashion her own. This quote by our guru is in answer to the question people often ask us about Yoga Face Selfie, "what are the barriers to entry?" The true answer is "none". Yes, a couple of our mantras are "If you don't record it, it didn't happen..." and "If you don't snap it. You didn't do it...", but in reality a tru...
