SpiceJet has teamed up with yoga instructors from the Isha Foundation of Sadhguru to conduct midair yoga sessions on some of its Boeing flights on the occasion of the International Yoga Day.

Geeta, one of the yoga instructors in the flight, described said, "Usually, when we teach yoga, it is under committed circumstances and we do not teach otherwise. But what we have taught here on the occasion of the International Yoga Day, I felt very good. And so many passengers did yoga with us. This was a unique experience and I felt very good."

The passengers on board were happy at this innovative approach of the airline. Satish Kumar Manoj said, "This is a wonderful experience. Actually, I observed. I have not done the full yoga here, but I felt very good and this is a very new concept. The time can be utilised here well too, if it is introduced on all the flights, especially those in the morning. It will be beneficial to everybody".

SpiceJet crew and Isha Foundation instructors will be performing yoga at a height of 35,000 feet on June 21, the International Day of Yoga. United Nations has declared June 21st as International Day of Yoga after adopting a measure proposed by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Yoga is a tradition and culture of Hindustan. There were many governments which have been ruling India since independence, but none of these pseudo secular government has done anything for showcasing Indian traditions and culture. Prime Minister has put a word in the UN  general assembly and all nations accepted it and declared that 21st June to be celebrated as International Yoga Day. This is a proud achievement for all the people of Hindustan.

Yoga has been there from time immemorial. There are references about Yoga in the Vedas and Puranas. Yoga helps to balance the function of body for the better use. It helps to overcome the wear and tear of the body parts. Yoga provides the rejuvenation of body and soul.
