A video featuring Playboy model Sara Jean Underwood performing various yoga postures while naked, has caused outrage in the Indian community.
The racy video is available for viewing on the Playboy website and the use of the age-old technique as erotica has irked many, reported Ace Showbiz online.
Hindu statesman Rajan Zed has taken aim at Playboy bosses 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."
The video was posted online to promote DVD titles 'Erotic Nude Yoga', 'Totally Nude Yoga' and 'Erotic Yoga for Couples'.
"Yoga is one of the six systems of orthodox Hindu philosophy and it is highly revered in Hinduism.
Playboy should not attempt to distort the esteemed yoga tradition as it hurts the devotees of yoga," said Zed.
