Plane yoga is going viral on EasyJet and Spirit Airlines
That might soon change, as plane yoga is apparently now a thing. TikTok creators are sharing in-flight videos of attendants guiding passengers through seated yoga flows.
One viral video posted last month shows passengers on a fully booked EasyJet flight with their arms raised, following a flight attendant's cues while the '80s Flashdance hit 'Maniac' plays over the speakers. The video has since racked up 1.5 million views. @user1118383829333

'He really said No DVT on this flight,' one comment read. Others were on board with the idea. 'Stop cause this would actually calm my anxiety down loads,' another user commented.
'Y'all ever done plane yoga?' another TikTok user asked, posting footage from a Spirit Airlines flight. In it, passengers stretch their arms overhead, following along with the flight attendant's instructions: 'Touch your toes, stretch your back out,' he says. 'And while you're down there, pick up all the trash you threw on the ground.'
'Oh spirit got jokes huh,' one user replied. 'Definitely a spirit thing to do,' wrote another.
It turns out this isn't the first time Spirit has offered plane yoga as an in-flight activity. 'Spirit Airlines: Free Snacks, absolutely not. Mid-Flight Yoga Sesh – yes of course,' one TikTok user posted in 2024. The passengers once again followed the same yoga flow—with the same punch line at the end.

Spirit has our whole plane doing yoga mid-flight! Haha honestly love this guy! 'Don't go too far you might tip the plane over' #spiritairlines #spiritflight #spirit ♬ original sound – Anna Mathias Rittmeyer
Whether or not it's a clever ploy to get passengers to clean up after themselves, there's real science backing up the benefits of plane yoga. Flying, especially long-haul, can reduce circulation, stiffen joints, and increase the risk of blood clots. Flights longer than four hours are considered a risk factor for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
To lower that risk, Healthline recommends walking around at least once per hour and doing calf exercises. Or how about joining in on a quick plane yoga flow? Just maybe leave the downward dog for after landing.

Channel 4 Open House Experiment features Leeds couple in 'cringeworthy' finale
Viewers watched the cringeworthy moment a Leeds couple decided to swing solo in the season finale of Channel 4's 'Open House: The Great Sex Experiment'. Married for years and swinging for the last five of them, Leeds couple Ashley, 31, and Tanya, 35, had only ever explored other partners together in the same room - never solo. Deciding national telly would be the place to give it a whirl, the couple led the series finale - which sees committed couples come to a luxury retreat to explore whether having open relationships and sex with other people can strengthen their bond. This episode was meant to mark a major personal development milestone with each of them leaving their comfort zone to go solo, meeting others without their spouse present. Yet it appears that one may have found it easier than the other, with window cleaner Ashley starting off the swing with some toe-curling chat. READ MORE: Bella May Culley police dispute claims teen was 'forced to smuggle drugs' as fresh CCTV released READ MORE: EasyJet passengers warned new policy 'could be introduced across all airlines' At the a luxurious masked 'sexy pool party' arranged by coach Effy, hairdresser Tanya quickly connects with a handsome guest named Gage, and whisks him off for an intimate encounter. Meanwhile, Ashley is left visibly nervous - resorting to asking Gage's wife, Olivia, a random question about pineapple pizza - who clocked the awkward comment immediately. Poor Olivia could be seen trying to put Ashley out of his misery - although highlighting her attempts to get the 'awkwardness out of the way' to his face probably could have been better received. Regardless, Mr Window Wiper got what he wanted in the end - resulting in a sexy solo moment in a yurt - all while Tanya stripped off to go shake some sheets with handsome Gage. Holistically speaking, Ashley and Tanya's story is one of growth - less about the sex itself and more about what solo exploration meant for them as individuals and as a pair. Whether that was conveyed across the raunchy 45 minutes, who's to say? The couple's episode saw an end to the eyebrow-raising Channel 4 series which explores whether relationships can thrive without monogamy. In a bold social experiment, a group of monogamous couples are asked to challenge their views and consider for the first time if they would be happier in open relationships.

These Homeowners Found a SECRET Note From the Past—and It's Melting Hearts on TikTok
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Homeowners on TikTok are falling in love with the sweet surprise a couple received when moving into their new home. TikTok user @madisonelizabethgrace posted a now-viral video of the sentimental gift her and her husband, David, were given by their home's previous owners. Included was a note and the photographic history of their newly purchased residence. "The prior owner (who owned the house since it was originally built 30+ years ago) left us the sweetest surprise - a note saying 'this is your house…from the beginning' along with Polaroids that she took of the home construction & build," Madison wrote in the caption of her TikTok post. Selling a home is a process often filled with emotion, and it often includes leaving behind a place you loved and hoping someone else will care for it the same way you did. Passing along the stories of memories made in that house to the next owners is a way to help keep the history alive, and Madison's former homeowners aren't the only ones doing it. "Our previous owner did a few sweet things like this and now I still text her about updates we make or questions etc, even told her we made their spare bedroom into a nursery," commented TikTok user WinnyTheAussie. Comments flooded Madison's TikTok with adoration for the transparent thoughtfulness of the photos and the feelings they evoked, leaving many viewers in love with the idea and fellow homeowners chiming in with their own similar experiences. "Our home came with a binder. Pictures, permits, anything they changed over the years. My favorite is that on our wall is a photo of the original homeowners on the front porch. Over 100 years later and that photo has been passed down from one homeowner to the next..." read a comment from TikTok user kaymfka. Numerous responses to the video of people sharing their own stories proved the idea of gifting the next owners the story of your former home is becoming an ongoing trend, and we're here for this incredible gesture. Whether you've recently moved into a new place, or are updating the house you've called home for years, consider taking photos of any changes you make and documenting the history over time. Not only will future owners enjoy learning about the evolution of their house, but you'll have memories to share with your family, photos to hang on the wall, and stories to reminisce on for years to come. Madison has continued to chronicle the transformation of her new house, this time in video form. She posts TikToks of her and David sprucing up their new abode, tackling the unexpected tasks of homeownership, and prepping a nursery for their baby, due later this summer. Needless to say, they're continuing the history of love and heart in their beloved new (old) home. Follow on Instagram and TikTok.

Trust in Riddle: Fritz credits girlfriend after Wimbledon win sets up semifinal vs. Alcaraz
LONDON — Morgan knows best, apparently. Taylor Fritz thought the motivational note he wrote to himself after losing at Wimbledon four years ago would stay private. His girlfriend, influencer Morgan Riddle, later shared it on social media. 'That note was never supposed to be public,' a smiling Fritz said after his 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) win over Karen Khachanov set up a semifinal meeting with two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz.
