One account commented: “This girl is going against the spirit of yoga. What is the purpose of standing in the middle of the street to practice like that? To motivate someone?”.

How ridiculous.” User TL expressed his opinion: “Please go home and practice, it ruins the beauty of this sport.” “Practicing is beautiful, but it is a bit ridiculous.
