It started as a beautiful morning yoga class in Miami’s Upper Eastside neighbourhood and then an iguana fell on a participant..Two iguanas fought in a tree above part of the yoga class for about 45 minutes before one of the iguanas lost and fell off the tree onto Michael’s face. .Michael was on his back with a hat on his face in the final resting pose of the class..At first, the participants and other people started laughing at the iguana falling on Michael until he did not move and the mood quickly changed to worry..The yoga teacher ran over to help Michael with a few other participants and the class ended early.. Falling iguana knocks out a yogi .The approximately 13-kg iguana landed on his face and knocked him out. When he woke up, he could not open his eyes and felt a sharp pain in his face..Michael told the media that he thought a coconut had hit him, but remembered no coconut trees in the park or someone had “slugged him” but that made no sense in a “peaceful yoga class.”.Fortunately for Michael, who last name wasn't released, the paramedics were at a local farmer’s market and came to assist. After assessing him, the paramedics said he would be fine..Michael declined to go to the hospital to be checked over further and his wife drove him home..Michael’s friends are having a good time with their friend, who is an “iguana landing pad.”.Namaste.
