Danger lies at every corner of Grand Theft Auto V. If you're not chased by the cops or shot at by Los Santos gangs, you might fall victim to your own thrill-seeking, like skydiving without a parachute or performing aerial stunts in between the city's buildings.

However, you don't actually have to go to such great lengths to put your life on the line. There's a much more serene activity that is just as likely to end you - yoga.

Yes, the tranquil art of contorting your body in a variety of different positions is quite deadly in San Andreas, and the reason for it is that it leaves you vulnerable to the region's cougar population...

After doing yoga for the first time, you unlock the ability to do it on the different landmarks on the map, and the spot on Mount Gordo happens to be placed near the cougar spawn area.

This means that while you do your daily mantras there, the game has a bigger chance to spawn a ferocious cat near you, which will then immediately lunge at you with its claws.

Of course, since it's not easy to cancel out of the yoga mini-game, this typically means your death.

Your painful, gruesome, and perhaps a little enlightened death.
