Plot

A strict yoga instructor named Betty bullies and grosses out her students with her stinky fart. She even farts on her students that do not pose a true yoga, which causes them to be disgusted because of how stinky is her fart. After a particularly disgusting session, the entire class decides to pack up and leave. In a frenzy, and still stuck with her leg behind her head from one of her yoga positions, Betty scuttles across the yoga studio, but falls down a flight of stairs and lands facedown in a meditation pool, knocking herself out. While unconscious, she inhales enough water to drown.
