Don't think you'll be able to move things with the power of thought or anything...

The game is called Yoga Training and it's developed by Konami. Starting with this spring, you'll be able to live a more fulfilling life thanks to this great title for the Nintendo DS system. You don't believe what I've just said, do you? Well, don't expect me to tell you that you should, because I'm not going to. The truth is that even if the game called Yoga Training, that doesn't mean you're going to get in touch with your karma or make use of spare chi.

In a Yoga app for cell phones all you have to do is follow each asana as shown on the mobile screen and as you go along, you will learn six different yoga asanas in phase one. In between each asana, you'll benefit from the exercises and the exact methods of practice are detailed. Finally, after mastering the basics, you can simply download the intermediate and advanced levels also.

Now, I'm not saying that Konami's Yoga Training is exactly the same, but what would it have extra? Don't tell me that it's going to teach one how to "use the force" or how to become telekinetic and throw objects at your maths teacher with the power of thought. Basically, Konami's Yoga game will also be a set of tasks for one to carry out, tasks that will probably make one feel quite smart. Those at Konami are betting that people will be influenced by the title and, of course, it's for the DS, which is a handheld. Did you make the connection? Free yoga lessons any place, any time. I should get one for my grandma.
