An outdoor yoga class in Miami came to an abrupt end when a man laying on his back was injured by a very large iguana that fell out of a tree.
Falling iguanas are quite common in Florida when the temperature is freezing, but this was not the case. It was a warm day and for some reason, the enormous green iguana -- estimated to be around 20 pounds -- fell from a branch and crashed right on his face. The man was bleeding and his eye swelled shut. Paramedics arrived at the scene and rendered first aid, but he declined to go to the hospital. The yoga class was being streamed on Instagram Live at the time and you could actually hear the thud from the iguana's fall and several people scream. (Miami New Times)
Scott's Thoughts:
- Maybe don't do yoga under a tree? Better yet, maybe don't do yoga. IMO.
- A downward dog probably would have been more painful.
- You don't hear too much about yoga injuries.
