"This is your captain speaking. Please do not remove your seat belt until the all clear sign is on."
How often have we heard these directions not to move our bodies and remain in our seats so our joints become stiff and sore. In "Head in the Clouds" a guide to yoga for airlines, the
author, Marc Kaplan, uses the gentle stretch exercises that relieve the tensions and awkwardness of sitting in a seat for long periods of times.
Using t'ai chi, chi gong, and meditative techniques, the author takes us into the world of the relaxation response. Using postures Cat and Cow, Eagle, and Waving Hands in the Clouds to
name a few of the exercises, we are transported from the drudgery of flight to the pleasure of release.
