Plane yoga is gaining traction, with flight attendants leading passengers in seated yoga flows during flights. Viral videos show passengers stretching and following instructions, with humorous comments indicating popular support among fliers. Health professionals recognize the benefits of yoga while traveling, noting that in-flight yoga may help mitigate circulation issues and reduce the risk of blood clots associated with long-haul flights. Examples from EasyJet and Spirit Airlines suggest a blend of humor and health awareness in these new in-flight activities.
One viral video posted last month shows passengers on a fully booked EasyJet flight with their arms raised, following a flight attendant's cues while the '80s Flashdance hit "Maniac" plays over the speakers. The video has since racked up 1.5 million views.
Flying, especially long-haul, can reduce circulation, stiffen joints, and increase the risk of blood clots. Flights longer than four hours are considered a risk factor for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
Spirit Airlines: Free Snacks, absolutely not. Mid-Flight Yoga Sesh - yes of course, one TikTok user posted in 2024. The passengers once again followed the same yoga flow—with the same punch line at the end.
Others were on board with the idea. "Stop cause this would actually calm my anxiety down loads," another user commented.
