Ah, the overnight-yoga-enthusiast.

He only started taking classes two weeks ago because the Groupon he bought on impulse was about to expire, and wasn’t planning on doing more than the 10 sessions he purchased until he one day got a bunch of “Likes” on Facebook for the status update he posted about being late to yoga class because of crappy traffic. After that, he was suddenly all up on yoga’s ass and trying to get everyone else up on it too by posting links to articles touting yoga’s benefits and asking all of his friends to try it out.

You decline because it’s not your thing, but Overnight-Yoga-Enthusiast Friend keeps pushing you into taking a class with him because he believes you’ll find it as life changing and amazing as he did, even though you’ve already told him a thousand times by then, “No, I won’t find yoga life changing or amazing, so stop trying to pressure me into taking the gateway drug to veganism!”? (Yes, yoga enthusiasm –> veganism. Seriously, a meat-eating yoga enthusiast in this era of hipsters and douche bags? You’d have a better chance of finding a village of unicorn-and-alpaca-raising cthulhus in the middle of the Sahara Desert.)

I don’t have any overnight-yoga-enthusiast friends, thankfully…or maybe I do, but they know me well enough to know that they’d be wasting their energy trying to convert me. In any event, if I ever do find myself being the target of unwanted yoga invitations from a friend who thinks “no” really means “I’ll eventually say ‘yes’ so please keep asking me to go to class with you over and over again,” I’ve devised a way to make the invites stop once and for all.

Step 1: Accept the invitation

Step 2: While everyone else is following along with the yoga instructor…

…Lose your sh*t and start breaking out Dhalsim’s moves from Street Fighter!

Yoga Fire!

Yoga Flame!

And my favorite: Yoga Teleport!

Disappear!

Time-Space Travel!

Reappear…and WIN!

Mwahahahahahaha!

Note: Doing this may result in security being called in to remove you from the premises and/or you’ll lose Overnight-Yoga-Enthusiast Friend as a friend…but who gives a sh*t? That still means you won’t have to worry about being invited to classes ever again, so the WIN stands.
