They thought there’d been a pre-meditated mass murder.
UK cops burst into a yoga class late Wednesday — after a terrified local thought students lying on the ground were victims of a “mass killing.”
The Seascape Cafe in Skegness revealed the hilarious mishap while apologizing for “the mass of police sirens” disturbing the seaside town’s zen.
The squad cars raced there “after someone had reported a mass killing in our building” after seeing “several people laying on the floor,” the cafe wrote on Facebook.
“Which actually turned out to be the Yoga Class in meditation,” the business said.
The only corpse lying around was the pose the attendees were performing. The “corpse pose” — also known as shavasana — is where a person lays on the back with their arms and legs spread out.
The Seascape Cafe alerted locals to ongoing classes in the hopes others do not get the same scare.
“We are not part of any mad cult or crazy clubs,” the posting quipped.
Yoga instructor Millie, who owns Unity Yoga, confirmed on the Cafe’s post that “everyone is safe and we all enjoyed a wonderful evening of meditation and yoga.”
“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,” she joked.
“Nobody was harmed in the process,” she said on her own page.
Lincolnshire Police told the BBC the caller had “good intentions.”
“Officers attended, we’re happy to report everyone was safe and well,” a spokesperson said.
