Bizarre moment instructor films yoga session on Tulum beach while Mexican soldiers chases after suspect
- Dramatic social media video by Jayson Barniske showed him handstand training on the sand of a beach in the resort town of Tulum
- However, the moment was interrupted when a man being chased by a soldier passed the shot
This is the moment the Mexican military and a crime suspect crashed a yoga instructor's video onto a beach.
A dramatic social media video of Jayson Barniske showed him handstand training on the sand of a beach in the resort town of Tulum last week when a man and the soldiers suddenly appeared on the screen.
The California resident appeared to be unaware of his surroundings as he was recorded as the suspect led two Marines on a chase.
“Meanwhile in Tulum,” Barniske, who now lives in Mexico, wrote on his Instagram account.

His Instagram followers mused at the bizarre video.
'Focus. Always focus,” one Instagrammer wrote.
Another user wondered how cool it would be to use a clip from the video for a Christmas greeting card.
“This had to be one of my Christmas cards!” They wrote.

The video caught the attention of Rúben Moreira, a representative of the northeastern state of Coahuila.
“Mexico first… beach, yoga and military exercises in the same (holiday) package,” he wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
It is not known what caused the military to pursue the suspect, whose identity is unknown.
Crime data released by Mexico's federal government last Friday showed a spike in reported homicides during the first ten months of 2023 in Quintana Roo state, where Tulum is located.
At least 597 people were killed from January to October, while 522 murders were recorded in the same period last year.
