Cops Burst Into a Yoga Class When A Corpse Pose Was Mistaken for Mass Murder?
Oh my God! I imagine their Zen moment was totally broken when cops burst into the room. Lincolnshire police were forced to invade a yoga class after a report of dead bodies on the floor.
According to BBC News, cops in England got a report of a potential mass murder in a storefront in Lincolnshire. The call to police mentioned that it looked like, “maybe a cult ritual killing” or a “mass murder” that had just taken place.
The report was, “bodies strewn all over the place”. Local police sprung into action and put the word out about a possible major crime scene. But when police arrived on the scene and burst into the room they didn’t find a Jim Jones-esque murder scene; they found a yoga class that was in their final moments.
The class was performing the “corpse pose” . . . also known as ‘shavasana’ . . . where a person lays on their back with their arms and legs spread out. The corpse pose generally comes at the end of a yoga class and tries to center your energy and create a community of calmness for the rest of the day.
But, you can imagine how that may have looked to someone who was just walking by; bodies everywhere, looking all disheveled and yet kind of organized. Very cult-like.

It took about half a second for the police to recognize what was going on and that there was no mass murder. They apologized and left almost as fast as they came in. They say the person who called it in had, “good intentions”.
The caller may have had good intentions but maybe not much life experience… If you ask me.
As for the yoga shop leader, she said, “My heart goes out to the people who thought I was a murderer, but I can assure you I just hold space for deep relaxation.”

Beyond Pumpkin Spice: 8 Other Fall Flavors That Steal The Show
Fall seems to arrive earlier every year. Coffee shops like Starbucks now introduce their autumn-themed drinks as early as August, and stores swiftly stock their shelves with Halloween decorations.
When we think of fall flavors, pumpkin spice often comes to mind. Many of us are aware that pumpkin spice isn’t actually derived from pumpkins. A pumpkin is a squash that has a distinct taste far from the combination of cinnamon and syrup. Pumpkin spice is just a mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.
While this spice blend lends its flavor to a wide range of products, including lattes, cereal, pretzels, donuts, gum, and more, it’s worth mentioning that not all people prefer it. In fact, there exists a Reddit thread specifically devoted to discussing the dislike of pumpkin spice-flavored items. A commenter expressed, “I’m in the hate pumpkin spice camp as well. It absolutely takes over the dairy aisle in the stores to the point of not carrying my usual products.” Another Redditor added their thoughts with, “Every season they hardcore promote pumpkin spice everything to kick off fall, and I hate it. It doesn’t even smell that good.”
Besides the popular pumpkin spice latte, there’s a wide variety of seasonal ingredients that contribute to the special taste of autumn, whether you’re preparing your own homemade treats or enjoying comforting dishes. These flavors range from the components in traditional apple pie recipes to the aromatic spices found in typical autumn soups, all representing the essence of the season’s most cherished foods. Who knows, maybe down the road, we’ll be as crazy about apples or cinnamon as we are about pumpkin spice.
If you’re looking to step away from the pumpkin spice trend or simply want to savor a wider range of fall flavors, take a peek at these other flavors that scream “autumn.”
