Spicejet crew, with instructors of Isha Foundation, performed ‘Upa’ Yoga (a simple yet powerful style of yoga) in a routine designed specifically to be performed in-flight. Approximately 50 dedicated Isha instructors and specially trained SpiceJet crew members took passengers through a 10 minute Yoga session on-board select Spicejet flights that took longer than one and a half hours, across the airline’s network.
said Sadhguru, Founder, Isha Foundation.
In addition to the in-flight Yoga event, several hundred Isha Foundation volunteers also performed a simple form of yoga, ‘Namaskar Mudra,’ at SpiceJet check-in counters and boarding gates at select airports. CDs and handouts were also distributed to customers.
“SpiceJet is pleased to be the first airline in the world to demonstrate Yoga on board,” said Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, SpiceJet Ltd. “We are happy to be associated with the Prime Minister’s initiative in promoting Yoga in India. We are pleased to join hands with Isha foundation for this initiative aimed at our customers who are on the move.”
The airline in association with Isha Foundation intends to carry out such initiatives in future as well.
