Gurgaon, 21 June, 2016: Having pioneered the concept of on-board yoga,
SpiceJet, known for its ardent customer engagement initiatives and predominance in
innovation in the Indian aviation industry is all set to recreate the enigma this
‘International Day of Yoga’.
After receiving an overwhelming response from customers and the industry as a whole the
airline which introduced its brand new initiative - ‘High on Yoga@35000 feet’ last year
has planned to co-partner with Isha Foundation yet again to execute the program
scheduled for 21st June 2016. SpiceJet will continue to offer Yoga on board without
compromising on passenger safety and within regulatory compliances.
SpiceJet, in partnership with Isha Foundation (isha.sadhguru.org) has constituted this
unique program wherein SpiceJet’s crew trained by Isha Foundation instructors would
perform Upa-Yoga practices specifically designed to be done on board SpiceJet’s long
haul flights. Travelers would be encouraged to participate in performing
travel-friendly practices themselves while seated. Upa-Yoga is a simple yet powerful
system of exercise designed by Sadhguru that activates joints, muscles and energy
system. In addition to these benefits, the practices will also help passengers overcome
jet lag, fear of flying and breathing difficulties.
Around 40 SpiceJet crew members specially trained to perform Upa-Yoga trained by
dedicated Isha instructors will undertake a ten minutes session on board, across the
SpiceJet network.
Mr Kamal Hingorani Sr. VP & Head of Inflight Services and Customer Experience,
SpiceJet on the occasion said, “Yoga is hailed as India’s gift to the
world and having pioneered ‘High on Yoga@35000 feet’ last year, SpiceJet gifted
on-board yoga to flyers in India and abroad. When it comes to innovations in aviation
and ardent customer engagements, we have many firsts to our credit but this one is
special as it enables us to uphold India’s cultural heritage in a unique manner.
“Backed by our honorable PM, the ‘World Yoga Day’ is a great occasion to celebrate
health, well-being and harmony and our unique gesture enables health conscious
customers to utilize time effectively, as we ensure all safety norms on board. We would
like to thank Isha Foundation for their continued support on this occasion.” he further
added.
Sadhguru's message for this International Day of Yoga: "Yoga is not just an exercise
system. Yoga is the science of obliterating the boundaries of individuality to know the
universality of one's existence." –Sadhguru
The program has been exclusively sketched for flights exceeding 2 hours. SpiceJet will
continue to offer this initiative in association with Isha Foundation on an ongoing
basis.
