Woman performs yoga routine in the middle of packed flight

There’s nothing worse than being stuck on a cramped flight for hours without being able to stretch your legs beyond a few laps of economy class. But one passenger has taken “stretching your legs” to a whole new level.

An activewear-clad woman has been filmed performing a yoga routine in the middle of her packed flight while her fellow passengers watch on in astonishment.

Wearing headphones, leggings and a hoodie, the young woman appears to be completely oblivious to the people around her. When she finally returns to her seat, two flight attendants can be seen laughing in the background.

The bizarre in-flight behaviour has sparked mixed reactions online, with many people sympathetic to the woman’s need to stretch, while others saw it as “attention-seeking”.

“I’m torn, because on one hand this feels obnoxious and attention seeking, but on the other hand I totally get the need to stretch because flights are stupidly cramped,” one woman wrote on Facebook. “All in all, much less inappropriate than putting your bare feet on the seat in front of you!”

“No. There should be rules against this stuff,” commented another. “Nobody needs to see people flailing about on planes, this is not your living room.”
