The Life Yoga ads, as naughty as they may seem (and as awkward as they may be to look at), really do depict what [hot yoga](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faceyogi) is all about. Hot yoga is one of those workouts you can only do if you have nowhere to be afterwards -- mainly because you’ll find yourself [drenched and dripping in sweat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deodorant-billboard).

Thus, with the copy line “Sweat off your flab,” the Life Yoga ads by Leo Burnett [Hong Kong](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festival-of-connoisseurs) have hit the nail on the head—or should I say the downward dog pose on the sun salutation?
