Don't try this, kids (NBC Washington)

A woman has been arrested and charged with striking a yoga pose on Metrorail tracks late last year.

Metro Transit Police say they've nabbed the Virginia woman who was spotted on surveillance footage doing a handstand on Orange Line tracks at the West Falls Church Station last December. NBC Washington reports that the woman has been arrested and charged with trespassing. Her name hasn't been released, but she is scheduled to appear in court at the end of the month.

A man was also spotted in surveillance footage taking photos of her. This all went down December 12 at 11 a.m. Police didn't say how they managed to track down their suspect. Nor is there any word about the gentleman photographer. However, Yoga Dork did manage to track down a shot from Instagram that appears to have come from the illegal shoot in question:

Sure, Metro stations can be very un-Zen places, on swampy days they can feel like a Bikram studio and train tracks are a great background for #authentic Instagram shots, but striking a pose near the third rail on live tracks is an excellent way to become a Darwin awards contender.
