(Nearly) Everyone Loves Random Acts of Airport Yoga

With the San Francisco Airport’s new Yoga Room splashing into the news this week, we take the opportunity to highlight random acts of yoga occurring in airports across the world. Clearly, airports and spontaneous yoga demonstrations were made for each other.
First off, here’s kirtan chantress extraordinaire, Ragani, and her band members making good use of their time in the Charlotte airport on the way home from a trip…

Next, a group of traveling yoginis, clearly inspired by Ragani’s amazing balancing act, attempt a world record for most yoginis striking a pose on an automatic walkway at the same time…I think they win…

A few tips on how to turn a delayed flight into the next great opportunity to impress your fellow travelers with a perfectly executed handstand…

Here we have handstand splits (2:30 into the clip)…glad no one got hurt…need I say more…

Have a “sore bum” from the long flight? Give these stretches a try…

I wonder if you have to get a permit for a synchronized yoga demonstration like this…

Finally, the last few clips are from folks who might be just as happy as the rest of the yoga world if the Yoga Room concept really takes off in airports…

DCOY Giveaway: Core of the Yoga Sutras by B.K.S. Iyengar

After an illustrious lifetime of expounding yogic wisdom to the eager masses, it only seems fitting that B.K.S. Iyengar, the undisputed heavyweight champion of the modern-day yoga bible, turns his gaze toward yoga’s foundational philosophical text, the Yoga Sutras.  In Core of the Yoga Sutras, Mr. Iyengar provides unique commentary on Patanjali’s 196 aphorisms that [...]

A rough week for Apple…Legos always help…

“Insanely great” would hardly describe how this past week unfolded for Apple’s stock price… While it won’t raise the price of your Apple shares, this Lego re-creation of a 1984 Macintosh should warm your heart up a little bit.  Legos always cheer me up! Don’t lose hope for Apple…look how far they’ve come!! Believe in INSANELY GREAT!

DCOY Giveaway: The Yoga Mat Tie–A Simple, Yet Brilliant Solution to Sloppy Yoga Mats

The simplicity of yoga is one of its most beautiful and appealing aspects. Not a lot of equipment required, right?… Well, a yoga mat isn’t necessarily even an absolute necessity, but I think most of us would admit yoga isn’t nearly as pleasant without a little sticky mat under our feet and hands. Everything else [...]

Comments

  1. Been there, done the airport yoga. Though I would never have been so bold as to do a hand stand. I might be more daring next time.

  2. I can’t say I’ve seen any random acts in the airport, yet. I think every airport should carry a yoga room, though. They have chapels in most. Time for Yoga rooms1
