Yoga and mass murder. They’re about as diametrically opposed to each other as veganism and eating meat. But a yoga class in the UK was reported to the police as the scene of a potential mass murder.

After receiving a call about mass murder, police cars started rushing to the scene at North Sea Observatory in Chapel Street, Leonards, Lincolnshire, UK. At first, Yoga teacher Millie Laws thought it was all a joke. Police quickly realised nobody laid out on the floor was even remotely dead but said the call was made with ‘good intentions’.

Laws told the BBC that the students were “laying down with blankets over them, their eyes are closed. It’s very dark in there. I just had candles and little tea lights lit the whole room, and I was just walking around playing my drum. I had a nice floaty top on with large bell sleeves.”

“A couple with some dogs just came up to the window and were having a look in, but they walked off really quickly and I didn’t think anything of it.”

“I didn’t know until after we left that these people phoned in saying that there was a mass murderer; they were wearing a robe and they were walking over all of the people, and it looked like some kind of ritual, and that the people on the floor were actually dead.

“I guess from the outside view it could look like that, because they’re all really still, very nice and relaxed.

Graciously, Laws thanked the police for their quick response, saying she cannot imagine what “must have been on their minds on the way there,” adding that “We are not part of any mad cult or crazy clubs.”

Crazy what happens in Shavasana.
