Global airline alliance SkyTeam's Exclusive Lounge, which opened in 2009 at London Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 4, is offering a two-month yoga pilot project to customers on any of its 13 member airlines.

This scheme builds on SkyTeam’s existing 1,600sq ft (149sq m) relaxation facilities at Heathrow, including a wellness centre that offers spa treatments, an oxygen bar, three full-body massage chairs, five showers, a green botanical wall featuring more than 60 different species of plants, four day-beds, two VIP meeting rooms and a wine bar.

The pilot yoga studio “will have yoga mats and a video showing a series of easy-to-follow sequences,” according to a statement by SkyTeam.

“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,” said Fatima da Gloria, brand and communications director of SkyTeam. “Yoga is renowned for improving the mind and body through its focus on stretching and breathing.”

SkyTeam alliance has two Exclusive Lounges including that at Heathrow Airport and one at Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport, in addition to its 516 standard global lounges. The alliance is set to open a new Exclusive Lounge at Sydney International Airport in Q4 of 2014 and a fourth is planned to open in early 2015 in Dubai.
