How to watch Yogaglo on my TV?

I want to watch videos from a yoga website (Yogaglo) on my TV. The tools I have available to me are: MacBook, xbox 360, and Apple TV. Can I make it happen?
As far as I can tell, the videos are not downloadable. They seem to be viewable only on their website. And I'd be happy to buy cables if necessary. The TV is a nice Panasonic plasma. Oh, and the TV is hooked up to an Onkyo TX-NR414 receiver. Thanks!

Best answer: AirPlay mirroring only works on Sandy/Ivy Bridge (released in 2011+) Macs and 2nd+ gen Apple TVs (the hockey puck); if that's you, use it. If not; just grab a Mini DisplayPort -> HDMI adapter from Amazon and use that.
If these videos are Flash or SL (likely), they won't run on the Xbox.

Best answer: The cheapest route is either Airplay from Mountain Lion, or the appropriate cables from your MacBook. Which cables are hard to say because I don't know what model you have for either your TV or computer. Probably Mini-displayport to HDMI.
Another option is AirParrot, which enables earlier versions of OSX to send video to a AppleTV. I actually prefer it on 10.8 too, because it is more flexible and lets you set up the AppleTV as if it were part of an extended desktop. You need a fast enough CPU though.

Seconding ConstantineXVI's advice - the Xbox version of IE will not run flash. A Thunderbolt/HDMI adaptor runs about $10 on Amazon.
