‘Idiotic’ woman is blasted for doing yoga close to cliff edge

A woman was spotted recklessly posing at the edge of a cliff as she performed yoga.

The unidentified woman spent around 20 minutes going through a series of yoga poses right at the edge of the chalk cliff – 200ft above jagged rocks.

Despite giant cracks, and signs warning that the cliffs could give way at any moment, tourists are often spotted dangling over the edge of the Seaford Head cliff, in Seaford, East Sussex.

Wayne Spring, 51, has seen scores of people go too close to the edge of the cliff, but reckons this woman he captured on Friday afternoon was the most ‘idiotic’.

The photographer said: ‘I find myself questioning peoples common sense quite a lot these days, but this was just another level.

‘It was absolutely ridiculous – at the best of times, I can’t understand why anybody would go anywhere near a crumbling cliff above a sheer drop.

‘But this was something else – I couldn’t believe my eyes when she did the headstand.’

The woman, who appears to be in her 30s, performed a series of poses at the edge of the cliff, including standing on one leg and the ‘downward-facing dog’ pose.

Wayne added: ‘Yoga’s meant to be relaxing, but I can tell you that it wasn’t relaxing watching her.

‘There was a crowd gathered around me at the time and people couldn’t stop gasping.

‘The woman was so firm with her poses, it just goes to show that she was totally oblivious to the danger she was in.

For years there have been calls to install security fences at the top of the cliff to prevent people falling off the sheer drop

‘The cliffs are so unstable, they could collapse at any time. 

The edge of the cliff is fractured with cracks, and every year along the iconic white cliffs, hundreds of tonnes of rocks fall onto the beach below.

For years there have been calls to install security fences at the top of the cliff to prevent people falling off the sheer drop.

Wayne added: ‘If you fence it off you might spoil the area but you can’t rely on people to use their common sense any more.

‘I don’t want the natural environment to be spoilt by a few idiots but if a fence stops them then so be it.

‘I think they’re uninformed. If you are not from the area you will not know about the dangers but people just need to use their common sense.’
