CHICAGO: Denver International Airport (DEN) has announced holding of free yoga workouts during summer, according to sources here.
Free yoga classes and workouts are being held at Denver International Airport Plaza till August 28.
Commending DEN for the free yoga classes, Rajan Zed, a front ranking community activist, said that yoga, although introduced and nourished by Hinduism, is a world heritage and liberation powerhouse to be utilized by all. According to Patanjali who codified it in Yoga Sutra, yoga was a methodical effort to attain perfection, through the control of the different elements of human nature, physical and psychical.
Zed urged DEN to make free yoga sessions a year-round feature and create permanent yoga-space available free (like many other airports), if it was serious to become a world-class airport, enhance the passenger experience, help reduce their stress levels and follow its own core objective of “winning the hearts of our customers”.
US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report stated: “Yoga is the most popular complementary health approach in the United States – used by 14.3 per cent of the adult population, or 35.2 million people”.
According to US National Institutes of Health, yoga may help one to feel more relaxed, be more flexible, improve posture, breathe deeply, and get rid of stress.
Yoga is the repository of something basic in the human soul and psyche, Zed said.
With 64.5 million passengers traveling through the airport in 2018, DEN claims to be the 20th busiest airport in the world and the fifth busiest airport in the US. Kim Day is the Chief Executive Officer.
