Playboy Naked Yoga Video : Playboy model Sara Jean Underwood


The latest raunchy yoga video of Playboy model Sara Jean Underwood has caused uproar in India. In the video, Sara is seen performing various asans while naked.
 
The racy video is available on the playboy website but the Indian community has asked the mogul Hugh Hefner firm to remove the video from the site and related products.
 
The president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, Rajan Zed was quoted as saying, "Hindus are upset over what is the misuse of the revered system of yoga by Playboy for mercantile greed and we are urging the organisation to withdraw all its yoga-related products.”
 
"Yoga is one of the six systems of orthodox Hindu philosophy and it is highly revered in Hinduism. It is actually a serious mental and physical discipline by means of which the human soul can unite with the universal soul."
 
"Sara Jean Underwood wants you to gain an intimate understanding of her asanas, the various postures and positions practised in yoga, suggesting the next best thing to actually doing them in person is watching these sexy nude videos that are designed to raise your heart rate," he said.
 
"Playboy should not attempt to distort the esteemed yoga tradition as it hurts the devotees of yoga," Zed added.

Former Virginia swimmer Fran Crippen dies during World Cup race

Former Virginia swimmer Fran Crippen, 26, died Saturday while competing in a World Cup marathon race in the United Arab Emirates. Crippen was competing for the United States in the open water event.
Crippen fell unconscious during the final leg of the 10-kilometer race in Fujairah, according to Swimming World. Nearly two hours after every other swimmer had finished the event, deep sea divers found Crippen just before the final buoy. The water temperature was reported to have been in the mid- to high-80s, and several swimmers were treated for heat exhaustion at a nearby hospital after the event.
A native of Conshohocken, Pa., Crippen was an 11-time all-American at Virginia and was named Atlantic Coast Conference swimmer of the year in 2003 and 2004. He finished third in the 10-kilometer swim at the 2009 World Championships in Rome. Crippen was named in September the Male Open Water Swimmer of the Year by USA Swimming. He won six U.S. national titles in his career.
One of Crippen's sisters, Claire, is a senior swimmer at Virginia. Another, Teresa, swims at Florida. Maddy, his oldest sister, was an NCAA champion swimmer at Villanova and was a member of the 2000 U.S. Olympic team.
Mark Bernardino, Virginia swimming and diving coach, is expected to release a statement through the athletic department later today. He and Claire are en route to the Crippen family's home in Pennsylvania.
