Gatwick Airport now has a yoga lounge!

[CoteDAzur]

A 20-minute Flow class created by yoga instructor Shona Vertue will be shown via video in a brand new yoga lounge in the airport's South Terminal.

Perfect for yogis who wish to relax and stretch before their flights. Or those who have seven hours to pass while waiting for their delayed flights, as was the case of some friends last Sunday!

They have a yoga lounge in Chicago O'Hare airport too. I had a long layover once. Had the whole family in there doing sun salutations

I think there is one somewhere on the West coast - LA? San Francisco? I friend who went recently was telling me about it.

What a fantastic idea and a great way to pass all that time. An alternative to buying rubbish and eating rubbish in airport shops was long overdue!

Oh wow!!! I'd love this.

I wonder if yoga mats are provided there and if we can trust them to be cleaned after every visitor.

That sounds bloody brilliant! Wonder if Birmingham Airport can be persuaded to do the same...

is the 20-minute yoga sequence that will be shown there

This is actually a great idea! Especially if they could incorporate medication as that could calm people who have anxiety with flying. I haaaaate flying and ended up having lots a few glasses of wine and humming a Pearl Jam song continuously! Yoga + meditation could help alleviate that.

What a truly lovely idea - sanity when travelling ;)
