Because nothing centers your chi like spontaneous applause for downward dog

People Who Clap After Yoga

You came to find your inner peace, but someone brought their inner Broadway. Yes, it’s time to salute the curious breed who clap after yoga like they just watched Swan Lake performed by incense sticks.

1. The final “Namaste” barely lands before someone erupts into applause.

2. You’re lying in corpse pose, trying to be dead inside–and they’re giving a standing ovation.

3. They clap like the instructor just solved world hunger with Warrior II.

4. The energy was “centered” until it was “interrupted by jazz hands.”

5. You didn’t know yoga class came with a curtain call.

6. It’s not a concert, Susan. Sit down and sip your wheatgrass quietly.

7. The only applause-worthy moment was when Jeff finally nailed crow pose and didn’t fall on his face.

8. “Let’s show appreciation!” they say–while you’re still halfway through a chakra alignment.

9. Nothing says inner stillness like synchronized whooping.

10. The instructor is clearly trying to transcend this plane, and they’re pulling her back with claps.

11. You didn’t train your breath for 60 minutes just to be hit with jazzercise energy at the end.

12. It’s yoga, not the Tony Awards.

13. The sound echoes off the bamboo walls and into your PTSD.

14. They clap again when someone grabs a foam block like it’s an Oscar.

15. You came to find balance, not to perform on America’s Got Talasana.
