You would imagine Elvis Presley more interested in boxing and karate. But according to his personal hairstylist, Larry Geller, he also studied yogic philosophy through books brought by Geller. .. Who since the King died published his own ”spiritual biography” of Presley, Leaves of Elvis’ Garden: The Song of His Soul
Anyway, just for the fun, I chose here a video on Youtube, where Elvis sings with joy about Yoga.

Elvis Presley – Yoga Is as Yoga Does
(Words & music by Nelson – Burch)
Well I can see that you and yoga will never do
Yoga is as yoga does there’s no in-between
Your either with it on the ball or you’ve blown the scene
I can see lookin’ at you, you just can’t get settled
How can I even move, twistin’ like a pretzel
(Yoga is, yoga does)
(There’s no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way) Or you’ve blown the scene
(Or you’ve blown the scene)
Come on come on, untwist my legs
Pull my arms a lot
How did I get so tied up
In this yoga knot
You tell me just how I can take this yoga serious
When all it ever gives to me is a pain in my posteriors
(Yoga is, yoga does)
(There’s no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way) Or you’ve blown the scene
(Or you’ve blown the scene)
Stand upside down on your head, feet against the wall
A simple yoga exercise done by one and all
Now cross your eyes and hold your breath, look just like a clown
Yoga’s sure to catch you if you come falling down
(Yoga is, yoga does)
(There’s no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way) Or you’ve blown the scene
(Or you’ve blown the scene)
(Yoga is, yoga does)
(There’s no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way) Or you’ve blown the scene
(Or you’ve blown the scene)
