Did Somebody Say Yoga? is a mission in Grand Theft Auto V for protagonist Michael De Santa.

Mission

Michael comes home to watch movies while drinking and smoking, which disgusts Amanda, causing her to throw his cigar in his drink and they talk about Trevor. Fabien LaRouche soon comes in and encourages Michael to join them. Amanda protests, but Michael agrees. Together, the three move outside where Fabien leads Michael through three yoga poses. After these three, Fabien demonstrates a fourth pose with Amanda, one which looks very much like a sexual act. Enraged, Michael attempts to hit Fabien who dodges, causing Michael to fall into the pool. Amanda yells at Michael and she and Fabien leave.

Quite upset, Michael goes to find Jimmy. Jimmy is reluctant to spend time with his dad, but eventually agrees. The two drive to a Burger Shot to pick up some drugs from Jimmy's friend Ahron Ward. The buy goes smoothly, but on their way back home, Michael drinks a soda which turns out to have been drugged by Jimmy. Jimmy forces his father out of the car and drives off while someone off-screen drags Michael away. Michael suffers massive hallucinations, including being surrounded by monkeys and abducted by aliens before being dropped midair over Los Santos, resulting by a massively multicolored freefall.

When Michael finally wakes, he finds himself in only his underwear. He rushes back home. In the kitchen, he discovers a note from Amanda explaining that she and the children have left for a while since they can't stand Michael's crazy antics. Once the mission ends, Michael gets a text from Jimmy stating that he's taken the car and some money ($5000) from his bank account and found a place of his own.

Trivia

• The trip sequence references multiple Hollywood movies:
  • It resembles Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Similar to the scene, the movie starts with apes, which represent early humans, and ends with the protagonist going out of a spaceship into a colorful and trippy "star-gate".
  • The flying sequence may also reference the film The Big Lebowski, on which the protagonist takes drugs and hallucinates that he's flying.
  • The appearance of the aliens that abduct Michael bear similarities to the xenomorphs from the Aliens films.
    • This further emphasis Michael's passion for cinema and how it reflects in the way he sees his life, later influencing some of the heists he plans.
• The check list at the end of the mission features the line "Praise the Sun!". This is a reference to Dark Souls, a fantasy RPG, which features this line which has since attained meme-like popularity among Dark Souls fans.
• The drink that causes Michael's hallucinogenic episode is most likely laced with ketamine, as Jimmy makes a passing reference to the drug's continued use in veterinary practice and ketamine is the most commonly abused hallucinogenic substance available on the black market that fits this description; PCP, another popular hallucinogen, has not been available for veterinary purposes in the US since its rescheduling in 1978. 
• When Michael enters in his house after falling in the pool he is barefoot, however, after speaking with Jimmy and leaving his room he is suddenly using slippers.
• The Song played during the 'Trip Scene' is C90's "Shine a Light (Flight Facillites Remix)." This song features on Radio Mirror Park.
• According to Lifeinvader posts, the name of Jimmy's friend in the Burger Shot is Ahron Ward.
• From this mission onwards until the mission Monkey Business, Michael will own a Premier as his personal vehicle, since Jimmy took his Tailgater with him. This Premier can be customized and will retain the modifications through the period Michael owns it.
• It is possible to keep either Amanda's Sentinel or Tracey's Issi by taking one of them before starting the mission and and then driving in that vehicle to the mission marker. After the player has completed the mission, the Sentinel or Issi should be parked outside.
• The mission is named after Fabien's introdutory phrase "Did somebody say yoga?". These are also the first words that Trevor greets Michael with after not seeing him for nearly a decade.
• After completing this mission, the Yoga minigame will be unlocked at Michael's Mansion and at the top of Mount Gordo. From all the protagonists, only Michael can train Yoga.
• Michael can call Tracey after this mission, Tracey will say that she is worried about Michael and that he needs to seek help before him end up killing himself, Michael will just say that she does not know what she is talking about.
• Small scenes of this mission appeared in the Second GTA V Trailer, the 'Michael' Trailer and in the Official GTA V Trailer.
