Inflight Yoga: I’m Not Sure Whether To Be Impressed, Or…

Twitter user @Raadmobrem live Tweeted a pretty funny situation he witnessed on a United flight from Los Angeles to Cabo last week, which is now getting quite a bit of media attention.

In it you can see a passenger doing yoga, including a handstand on their seat, in economy. First the lady warmed up a bit:

And then she did handstands:

Apparently the inflight yoga session lasted for about 20 minutes, until the flight attendants asked her to stop.

I’m not sure whether I’m more amazed by the fact that she managed to do all this without waking up her neighbor, or the fact that she felt this was necessary on a two hour flight.

Given the recent frequency of in-flight turbulence slamming people into the tops of planes maybe we should all fly in handstand pose. Ryanair could probably monetize that actually...

Flying is not what it used to be.

Seems like she was doing it to get attention more than anything. And it worked.

Really wish the plane hit turbalance right when she did that. Glad flight attendants stress the importance of not having a small bag in the exit row but handstands are good. Priorities.

What westerns do is not even close to yoga. Yoga pants are very opposite to the purpose of doing yoga. Westerners are only interested in showing off, as always instead of doing yoga.. The correct uniform for yoga is just any loose clothing..
