When we travel, whether its domestic or international, often we feel fatigued and our bodies just want to rest. While rest is important, it is also important to move the body a little so that you can stretch out stiff areas and flex out tight muscles.
On long flights, its important to get up an move around. Sometimes we don’t have the luxury of doing a full yoga routine, especially on a 10 hour flight overseas. Here are a few things you can do in small areas, on the plane or off, to help you reduce stiffness and hopefully help alleviate fatigue.
- Walking meditation (up and down aisles of the airplane)
- Forward Fold/Standing wide legged forward fold
- Standing cat/cow
- Standing side stretches
- Malasana squat
- Crescent lunges
- Standing upper body twists
When you land at your destination, here are some yoga moves you can do to help reduce fatigue so that you can get right to the fun!
- Sun salutation A
- Standing side stretches
- Warrior series
- Chair pose
- Boat pose
- Headstand/handstand
- Supine twist
Hopefully these help you as much as they have helped me in my travels! Enjoy the holiday season and happy new year!
