These Astronauts Have Been Doing YOGA in SPACE!

IANS, 31 Jul, 2017 12:27 PM

    When Baba Ramdev or Shilpa Shetty flaunt their yoga skills and demonstrate the most unusual asanas, it seems quite doable, thanks to the ease with which they do them. But once you try it, and get going you realise how difficult it can be.

     

    However, there’s one place where any complex yoga asana is easy-breezy! Well, you might need to travel a lot, but trust the experts it’s easier doing yoga up there.

     

    If you’re thinking about the your terrace, then think again. It’s not the North Pole or Mt Everest either. In fact, you need to go a little higher, rather much much much higher…into space!

     

    We’re not kidding!

     

    If not us, then at least trust these two astronauts who tried various yoga asanas at the International Space Station, and claimed: “yoga poses sure are easier without gravity”.

     

    So, is this the reason why astronauts have become such avid yoga enthusiasts?

     

    American astronauts Jack Fischer and Peggy Whitson performed yoga postures aboard the ISS and shared the photos on his Twitter account. Calling Whitson, first female astronaut to be at ISS, a “ninja”, he bet she could even do this on the ground with ease.

     
     

    Many people on the microblogging site agreed with Fisher and vouched for it that “it’s impossible on ground”.
