Police called to yoga class mistaken for ‘mass killing’

A member of the public in Chapel St Leonards, Lincolnshire, called emergency services to report people lying on the floor
It turns out that lying on the floor is actually quite comfortable and should not be reserved for dead people.
We need to leave ourselves something to look forward to in our final moments.
Imagine the poor bastard who has to die standing up? He can't even chill out after death.
Ha ha, well it’s called corpse pose so really, good job yogi’s.
What are the chances the person who called the police was over the age of 60?
To be fair, it is called corpse pose. I guess the yogis were just too convincing for that poor person who saw them.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A yoga class was cut short after a member of the public called the police to report a “mass killing” after seeing several people lying on the floor.
Participants in the class, which was being held at the Seascape cafe, inside the North Sea observatory in Chapel St Leonards, Skegness, Lincolnshire, were in the midst of meditation when officers turned up on Wednesday night.
In a Facebook post, the cafe said someone had “reported a mass killing” after seeing people on the floor inside the building.
“They were on their way to the observatory after someone had reported a mass killing in our building, having seen several people laying on the floor … which actually turned out to be the yoga class in meditation.
A Facebook post on the cafe’s page says the venue holds New Moon yoga classes on Wednesdays from 7.30-9pm where you can feel “called to dive deep into the lunar cycle”.
A spokesperson said in a statement to PA: “A call was made following concerns for the occupants of the North Sea observatory, at Chapel St Leonards.

When I saw this story, it struck me as funny, but then there's that line about how the police officers must have been feeling as they approached what could have been a horror scene. I can't even imagine.
Yeah. Even the person who thought they "found" the bodies, rushing off to call the police, everyone must have been pretty freaked out.
Total contrast to the chilled out yoga people.
To be fair, that’s a perfectly reasonable assumption to make in the land of folk horror.
Since it happened in the US, they all can be grateful that the police didn't turn it into a mass killing when they couldn't find a murderer there.
I guess, if it had been a black yoga class, they would have preemptively started shooting the participants.
it happened in the US
No, it happened in Lincolnshire, UK.
This did not happen in the US. If it did, it'd just be like your average Tuesday and you'd never hear about it.
