There it is. UVA now uses HARDCORE YOGA from former WCW wrestler Diamond Dallas Page to train.
Next thing we know, UVA is going to get rid of Nike for Lululemon.
Namaste, bitches.

This is new?
This is apparently how to stay in the game by employing a:
Two things jump out at you:
1. There is no Yoga shown in the video (Probably a good idea)
2. The closing says that LOLUVA is going to FEEL the best, not be the best. (Probably a more realistic goal)
Did anybody else think DDP forgot Fab Franks name?
That was...bad.
Time to open up Photoshop
At least they have a positive attitude. It's trash CAN not trash CANNOT!
Feel the bang, eh?
Is that video for real or someone messing with us?
Side note, there was a video circulating facebook a while back of an old army vet who was disabled from too many jumps and a paratrooper that doctors said would not walk unassisted again. He looked to yoga and DDP was the only one who stuck with him and was able to transform the guy's body in a year to the point he could walk by himself and was later able to run again. That was a good story, not this UVA joke they released.
I, too, have heard success stories of how DDP's yoga and diet program has helped vets and former wrestlers that were practically immobile and/or suicidal. Whether for profit, or not, the dude is doing good work. That should not be mocked.

Yeah, his "gym" (yoga mart? cobra kai dojo?) is down the street from my office here in Smyrna and locally, he gets props.
Didn't see the video...
But i'm an advocate of yoga; it's an amazing tool to ensure you don't have injuries. Not sure if the intent was to make fun of yoga or not but that should never be the case. We need it.
You should watch the video. It's DDP yelling about making UVA football tough. I think he mentioned yoga once. It was horribly edited and produced which made it even more laughable.
I agree. I'm not one who does yoga but lots of people love it, and I've tried to get the older and increasingly achy DadOnATreadmill into it. I've frequently felt that there were physical and athletic...things that our guys could incorporate into their training, like yoga for flexibility and injury prevention, ballet for OL/QB/whoever needs better feet, cattle farming for OL/DL, etc. Lots of offbeat skills could be brought to football.
But with UVA, it's more a case of "well, we've tried everything else..."
Yoga is even incorporated into Stanford's strength and conditioning program, run by a Hokie that a lot of people on here wanted when we were looking for a new S&C coach.

Hey man, don't ruin all the UVA bashing fun...
I'm all in on making fun of the video and UVA. I'm just saying making fun of the yoga isn't really justified.
I thought we were making fun of the fact that it's DDP, rather than the yoga in general.
I was supporting AXD1985's statement with a link:
I did not mean anything else by my comment.
As long as they don't switch their uniforms to include yoga pants......ewww.
I remember DDP Yoga from Shark Tank. Didn't get a deal, but looks like they found it through UVA....
Let me be the first to say, I am totally pro DDP. I used to love me some Diamond Cutters and self high fives back in the day on WCW. Having said all that, the above posted video is awful....

And when searching for Self High Five gifs, this was the first thing I found, don't know what's going on here but it was too funny not to share.
EDIT: better quality

HALL. OF. FAME.
He cut this commercial for mass customization. I could get the same commercial for my company because all he does is insert your name in two places and call it a day
Is this the bang he's talking about? Pretty sure Greyson Lambert felt it.
I couldn't think of a better union of two groups that pretend to be real athletes.
(I mean no offense to wrestlers. They are real athletes in my book.)
