Downward Dogs Take Over Airports Around America

Airport Yoga (via nytimes)

The old airport indulgence: Cinnabon. The new airport indulgence: Flagrant public yoga. Yogi and Million Minute Month Spirit Guide Kristin McGee told us she's been doing yoga stretches at the airport for ages: "At first people think I'm crazy, but then they start doing it too!" she says. And today, the trend becomes official with a New York Times announcement that business travelers are busting out their headstands in the corner before their flights take off. Expect lots of business travelers who wouldn't have done so before the Times said it was okay to now embark on public displays of stretching and sweating. Should you care to get in on the action, check out Kristin's "Office Yoga" routine, which translates more discreetly to airport spaces than say, flagrant bum in the air downward dog.
