Yoga before a flight combines a warm-up for your legs and back with attention to your breathing. Practice at home and take some time for yourself before traveling and spending hours in a seat.
Exercises in this 90-minute class include “Dynamic Cat”, “Half Side Splits Pose” and “Dynamic Twist in Seated Forward Bend”. Move your spine smoothly as you practice Dynamic Cat. Towards the end of the class, you'll practice the breathing technique “Pranayama in Diamond Pose”. You'll finish with a rest lying down.
You can take the 90-minute class on a free day before your trip, if you're comfortable practicing for that long.
Choose a level of effort that leaves you with energy for your journey. If you have health-related limitations, follow your doctor's recommendations.
