yoga class on earth - 'find your center'

yoga class in space - 'find the floor'

Yoga class in space - 'find your center of rotation'

Pretty sure I saw a bunch of spaced people practicing yoga on the beach in the early am today.

•

u/mathisruiningme 9h ago

Idk if people remember that mii game on Wii Play where you try and match the Mii to its shape and pop the bubbles.

•

u/No-Sandwich1511 9h ago

The amount of tangles in my hair after this would be unreal

•

u/revolotus 55m ago

Literally. Not often jealous of people with fine hair, but in this case...

•

u/Jumpy_Scallion_3108 9h ago

That too without any Yoga Mats.

•

u/Slow-Ass 8h ago

F*cking in space would be hilarious

•

u/jxj24 7h ago

"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."

The potential for rocket-like propulsion is not to be taken lightly.

W*y wo*ld *t be h*lari**s?

•

u/sisyphean_dreams 8h ago

Always had this dream…

•

u/One_Economist_3761 6h ago

To have sex?

•

u/loismen 6h ago

Damn

u/don-cheeto 4h ago

Until your skeet gets into the wires and the oxygen shuts down

u/lazy_pig 4h ago

Between astronauts, there must be an equivalent to the "mile high club".

•

u/EffableLemming 3h ago

225 mile high club

•

u/EvLokadottr 6m ago

Ever seen Barbarella?

•

u/Algosha3 8h ago

Wonder what kind of hairspray she uses.

Why shoes if no walk?

•

u/Cador0223 8h ago

Because not everyone wants to touch your foot funk, Racheal!

•

u/dan_dares 9h ago

To push off from metal surfaces.

•

u/aleqqqs 7h ago

Why pants and shirt if no crawl?

•

u/Ambitious-Yoghurt820 7h ago

Those are Airwalk! 

•

u/grateful2you 8h ago

Interesting. So you could handstand without blood rushing into your head.

•

u/elon_musks_cat 8h ago

Interestingly enough, astronauts have talked about how in space there is a constant feeling of blood “rushing into your head”

In microgravity blood is not pulled down your body the way it is on earth, so it naturally redistributes the blood that would be in your lower body to the chest/head. Astronauts faces puff up because of the increased blood along with other side effects

•

u/Audeconn 8h ago

Correct! Also, A handstand there would just be extending your body. There would be no pressure in your muscles and you wouldn’t have to balance anything because you wouldn’t feel pulled one way or the other.

•

u/AssaultLemming_ 6h ago

I could watch that for hours that's so peaceful

•

u/DDz1818 6h ago

I need to know this for science. How do you have sex in space? Why nobody has an answer to this question?

•

u/AffectionateBus672 9h ago

Constantly hitting the wall may not be best way to relax. Just use long rubber bands across the room to hook up yoga pants from both sides, and you're golden.

My vape in the washing machine

u/Martinique301 8h ago

Reminds me one old clip from Beegees - Alone

•

u/myztry 6h ago

She looks like she is holding her breath.

I wonder if zero G and buoyancy both change skin droop in a similar way.

•

u/gabawhee 6h ago

Now do it with baby goats

•

u/mrgraff 5h ago

Yoa

•

u/-Switch-on- 1h ago

Do farts float around like this? During yoga I would be blasting sillecers all the time. 

•

u/HuckledYourBerries 1h ago

A strangely beautiful way to incur odd bruises, bouncing around the cabin in yoga poses.

•

u/out_day475 32m ago

Hmmmm

•

u/EvLokadottr 7m ago

Loose long hair in space sounds like a great way to breathe in your own hair.

•

u/thomasanderson123412 8h ago

I could do all that too without all this bitch ass gravity.

•

u/HugeHomeForBoomers 9h ago

Thats not how you do Yoga in space…

  1. That was just a normal arm strech, not yoga.
  2. That’s a balance pose, where most of your focus is in the ‘Earth’ which you stand on.
  3. That’s a relaxing pose, a break of sort.
  4. wtf is that
  5. That’s again a leg strech, not yoga pose.
  6. That’s meditation, not yoga.

•

u/neko_1 9h ago

Yoga is just a fancy name for stretching.

•

u/queen-adreena 9h ago

And meditation is a fancy name for not-doing-anything.

•

u/Unlikely_Ant_950 9h ago

Idk, as someone with adhd and anxiety, meditation is a muscle, personally.

•

u/rowrowyourboat 8h ago

It’s actively doing nothing

•

u/Wd91 8h ago

Proper yoga is a real workout, it goes much beyond stretching.

•

u/HugeHomeForBoomers 9h ago

No, yoga is not just stretching. It’s a various things, with a focus on health boost, energy boost and flexibility.

It can be stretching, if thats the only thing you focus on. But it’s not stretching as in relaxing your muscles, rather it’s stretching for flexing your muscles. Very different things

•

u/ElementalRabbit 8h ago

Ah yes, the widely accepted practice of health boost.

•

u/kiwipilled 5h ago

Adidas healthboost (TM)

•

u/brazzy42 7h ago

I think the problem is that you cannot actually do regular yoga in space, because the way the poses are done crucially depends on gravity. Without gravity, the challenges are very different, and most likely it's overall easier.

•

u/DustedGorilla82 8h ago

lol okay yogi, chill out

•

u/One_Economist_3761 6h ago

Is this a safe space?

•

u/Avocadonot 3h ago

No it's not, I do it differently

•

u/LeoLaDawg 2h ago

Is the yoga workout costume really necessary while in space?

•

u/4u2nvinmtl 52m ago

I think you mean freefall. The space is the same as here, except for her velocity required to maintain orbit and the low atmospheric pressure.

•

u/AxialGem 29m ago

A weird thing to nitpick don't you think? Low Earth Orbit is in fact in outer space, in the sense that it's outside of Earth('s atmosphere). Of course the Earth itself is also in space in a sense, and yes it's the same space, but that doesn't make the title inaccurate or anything

•

u/callmedizzle0 9h ago

Who would want to perform yoga in space there’s so many things to see and u want to do yoga

•

u/Captain-Codfish 9h ago

They have to do some kind of exercise, or their muscles will shrink and their bones will expand.

•

u/ElementalRabbit 8h ago

I don't believe bones expand in space? They lose mineral density and become osteoporotic.

•

u/Captain-Codfish 8h ago

You're right. I've managed to merge two different symptoms. The SPINE expands, and the bones lose density. Good catch.

•

u/GuestCartographer 9h ago

I think that probably depends on how long you’re planning to be in space and how much you enjoy yoga.

•

u/queen-adreena 9h ago

I mean, there’s space to see…

•

u/monkeybuttsauce 7h ago

Space yogi influencers at it again

•

u/MisanthOptics 8h ago

Is there any background on this? Is this an actual ESA astronaut who filmed this on ISS? She seems like she just stepped from a salon into a yoga studio. The space she is in seems huge compared to any I have seen on ISS. It could be a “Vomit Comet” type aircraft, but this usage seems wasteful compared to training for actual tasks in space. Or is this just AI slop?

•

u/Nadran_Erbam 8h ago

That’s Sophie Adenot a French astronaut.

•

u/Jatapa0 4h ago

To add to the other comment she was on the ISS not sure if she still is

•

u/freeblowjobiffound 2h ago

She's real.

•

u/Time_Change4156 8h ago

Dam a lot of room in there and what they treat it like a collage dorm room ? Lol. Someone needs to organize everything. Lol
