This creative billboard is an advertisement for a Yoga Camp in India that is probably targeted at geeks and early adopters who work for various tech companies in Gurgaon.
The ad says "Ready to try Google Chrome for efficient browsing minutes after release and hesitant to try pranayama (a form of breathing exercise) for efficient living even centuries after discovery". via
The Yoga camp is organized by Baba Ramdev who is India’s most famous ‘yoga guru’.

Written by Problogineer on 10.04.08
it just markets a yoga camp, giving an example of chrome.. it’s NOT a camp for chrome’s users specifically! The title is misleading :)

What next from Google? A yoga camp to get more downloads for Google Chrome. Google is really hiring some good PR guys.

Its not misleading Ad, the yoga camp is going to be held in Gurgaon (near delhi) where IT Parks and companies exist. So to attract techies and try yoga just for 7 days that too 2hrs in morning before you go to office.

Maniwal - if your comment was for me, I would like to reiterate - the ad is NOT misleading. It is doing good marketing and targeting of IT junta.
However the title of this POST is misleading. So the author of this post should be re-assessing why he/she chose such a title. Since this camp is not FOR chrome users. and JFYI, I have details of this camp from other sources as well, the visitors, the organisers etc. have no clue what chrome is. Most would not even know what google is.
