FRANKFURT: Frankfurt Airport in Germany has arranged for a rather welcome upgrade of the infrastructure, with an addition of yoga rooms with a $113 million investment. There already are two "professionally equipped" yoga rooms located in passenger terminals one and two, that are open around the clock and not chargeable. Authorities said the rooms have all the required equipment, including yoga mats, blocks, cushion, monitor screens, etc.

Taking a delight in the news, Hindu statesman Rajan Zed released a statement saying the addition of yoga rooms in upgrading plan was a "step in the positive direction" for Frankfurt Airport. He urged all top world airports to provide yoga facilities for the passengers if they wanted to help reduce their stress levels and be "world-class" airports. He added that yoga, although introduced and nourished by Hinduism, was a world heritage and liberation powerhouse to be utilised by all.

As per 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 was the repository of something basic in the human soul and psyche, Zed said.
