It's time for Yogabeans!, the hilarious website that shows action figures doing ashtanga yoga.

Led by Duke, the GI Joe Sigma 6 operatives study David Swenson's "Practice Manual" to see correct form for Parivritta Parsvakonasana.

Yogabeans was founded by Elastigirl (that's right, the mom from The Incredibles), who "found relief bending the kids' action figures into a satisfying urdhva dhandurasana (wheel pose)" when she got too busy for her own practice.

I'm not sure what's more hilarious, the dialogue between the action figures or Elastigirl's attemps to get the plastic figures into complex ashtanga poses. But Yogabeans isn't just about funny pics, there's actually yoga philosophy and helpful pose adjustment tips included in each post, too.

Check out more Yogabeans action here.

Thanks, Laurie!
