EI EI Yoga Is The Strangest Video You Will Ever Watch

So I was sent this video yesterday, and I haven’t’ been the same since. Before we get started, EI EI Yoga is a clever name, I just don’t know who the hell it’s appealing to. You take a popular children’s song and make it into a yoga show, because apparently all the kids these days are really into yoga? I don’t know, but what I do know is that this is one of if not THE strangest video I’ve ever seen. My first question is who is the target audience for this video? Is there really a portion of the population who watched this and went “yup, this is what I want.”? Because if there is, I would like that portion of the population to be secluded to it’s own island somewhere far, far away. I understand this video has been edited and voiced over, but I also understand that there’s no version of this video that isn’t incredibly haunting. I do have a lot of questions as well. Why is the yoga instructor wearing jeans? Why are all the children dressed in costumes? Why is the cow behind the barn dressed like an actual cow but the rooster is standing on two legs like a human? Why is there a wind machine halfway through the exercise? Why does the yoga session start off with individual hugs? Why can’t I stop watching this video? I’ll never be able to answer any of those questions, but I do know that this image will haunt my dreams for the rest of my days:
