The first airport yoga studio has opened to passengers travelling with SkyTeam Alliance airlines at Heathrow Terminal 4.

The two-month pilot yoga project is in the exclusive alliance lounge and has been introduced as a way of providing pre-flight relaxation for its travellers.

People flying from T4 on any of the 13 member airlines including KLM, Delta airlines and Korean Air, can have a go at a yoga session.

The studio has yoga mats and a video showing a series of sequences to follow.

Fatima da Gloria, SkyTeam director brand and communications, said: “Behind the design concept of each SkyTeam Exclusive Lounge is a focus on our customers’ wellbeing, taking them away from the hectic airport terminal and into a tranquil environment.

“Yoga is renowned for improving the mind and body through its focus on stretching and breathing - perfect for some pre-flight fitness.”

The yoga studio was launched on August 19.

Skyteam's existing facilities at Heathrow include a wellness centre offering a range of free spa treatments, an oxygen bar for a pre-departure energy boost and massage chairs.
