Just for the record, the
chitta viksepa (distractions and obstacles) of yoga includes
avirati (sensuality, the arousing of desire when sensory objects possess the mind) as well as
alabdha bhūmikatva (failure to attain continuity of thought or concentration so that reality cannot be seen). And, as a minor distraction, there is also
śvāsa-praśvāsa (unsteady respiration).
With that in mind, I don't think these yogis are a good influence on the serious practitioner.
Yoga isn't just
asanas (poses); asanas are just one of eight components.
...now if you'll excuse me, I need to go
yama my
duhkha.
