Honestly I would just pull out the mower and start cutting my grass

Stupid options in the poll. Where is: tell them to get their arses off your property/call the police? No Trespassing notices should make it clear to all of Karen's customers.

It's always interesting to see how people who claim they want to live a healthy, low-carbon footprint lifestyle, do so at the expense of others. It's not her yard. This is not 'shared nature' and 'community vibe' is just a nonsense argument to get your way.

People are suggesting some great solutions with cameras etc. Still, that require money. Manure and fertilizer is much MUCH cheaper (and more fun!) She might be so GURI ZEN part of nature and would be ok with literal s**t all over. I doubt her client would be tho. Also you can then grow some plants there! Hearbs,Veggies,Flowers! So NOW EVEN IF they embrace the s**t they will have to LITERALLY crush nature under their yoga mat... Not very namaste!

Invite your local bagpipe group to practice in your yard.

Tell her clearly not to use your yard with no maybes or softening language. Interrupt the class and ask them to leave. Going forward, run your sprinklers during their class.

Start mowing the lawn as they are trying to climb over the fence...

So many of the suggestions are unnecessarily passive aggressive. OP hasn't told the people attending the class that they're trespassing yet. OP ought to start there. I'm sure that most people (if not all) attending the class don't want to break the law. Probably the only thing OP needs to do is politely walk around their own backyard and tell each person that they are trespassing, that their instructor has been informed multiple times, and that unfortunately the next step to be taken will be calling the police. "I don't want you to get arrested" and all that. Show concern and compassion for the attendees. And in the process, make the instructor look like an inconsiderate douche who is willingly encouraging her students to break the law and possibly be arrested as a result.

And this would be the moment where my lawn gets his weekly dose of sprinkler water and Arch Enemy. I'll nama-slay your vibes gurl.

The yoga class times sound like the time to be cutting the grass, and other noisy outdoor activities. It may even be time to get the band back together and practise. Or learn a new instrument, like the bagpipes.

You shouldn't own a house if you don't know that the property you buy is yours and you can tell people to gtfo if they're trespassing. It is not one big shared space. tf is that nonsense? I'd be blasting Down With the Sickness every time they came on to my property after I told them no. That would go well with meditation music. Especially the "I'll be a good boy" part.

They're HOPPING THE FENCE???? Yeah no, call the police.

Why even ask? It's your dang yard. Do as you please.

Sprinkle a little flour on the grass and leave a sign saying “Beware of treatment for grass”

Start grilling burgers at the same time on her side.

i honestly would do the polite approach and if that didnt work id let my dog hang out outside cuz damn does she hate anyone who doesnt live in my house. even family wen they come over for holidays she hates them. moment they hop the fence shed go running out barking like a maniac. best part is i dont need to worry bout her biting anyone cuz behind her mighty bark shes a 65lbs scaredy cat. moment one of them walk up to her she will run away while continuing to bark. id like to see them do relaxing yoga with my dog barking the whole damn time. wen my neighbors r in their backyard she goes nuts, ppl walk past the house she goes nuts, she goes nuts over anyone who doesnt live here. thank god all my neighbors r awesome and kind ppl.

manure must be spread on friday evening .... just saying .....

Time for a couple pick up loads of cow or horse manure. Just to keep that green space green!

How about an All-Death-Metal Concert on repeat? I'm guessing Spotify could help with that. :) Also, OP needs a taller fence. (Unless there's an HOA involved. Those people are power-hungry dictators!)

I guess it’d be illegal for OP to electrify her fence. Add razor wire, maybe? Slather Vaseline all over it? Oh well. Guess they’ll just have to replace the hoppable fence with one so high a person would need the fire department’s cherry picker to get across it. Maybe put some kind of deterrent on the top, so the more agile yogis can grip the top without injury or slipping—-or putting their hands in piles of sticky, fragrant, fresh 💩.

Try borrowing the largest, smelliest , friendliest buck goat you can find. Everybody loves goat yoga.

My initial thought was "nothing a couple of buckets of cold water can't solve".

Time to get some Rottweilers...

Love all the insurance comments, forcing her to show coverage of auxiliary space (OP’s yard, plus telling the participants about the situation & asking them to leave, BUT also decide that starting about 30 min before the yoga class, is the perfect time to run your soccer drills, in your own back yard. Nobody is setting up a yoga mat where they can be hit by a soccer ball. Don’t play soccer? Brilliant time to learn; less skill is even better.

Call the police and have them trespassed. Also, inform the police the instructor is running an illegal yoga business on your property. Even with a business license, she still operates illegally by trespassing. Since you know what time they start, you can also go out a few minutes beforehand, grab your hose, and start soaking anyone who tries hopping the fence and don't stop.

Time to get yourself a mega phone and learn some really good dirty talk.

Saturday morning: blare some Meshuggah as loud as you can play it right at them.

The post that advised checking with her insurance seems like a good step.

Look after a friends dog that's likes to bark and let it run around your garden when they are there

Invite someone with young kids and playfull dogs over for the time of her class. Do some woodworking outdoors. (a great idea of her to enjoy outdoor space) I like the metal music idea (as I like that). I like the sprinklers idea too but those aren't that common here.

Love how 'mericans go straight for the "get a lawyer" approach.
