Heathrow Express runs every 15 minutes. It is the fastest way to travel between Heathrow and Central London. But more often than not, taking an express train is only part of a long journey. Many people may have already spent hours on trains or planes. As a result, they are likely to feel quite tired and stressed. Luckily, Heathrow Express has come up with a new idea to help these people relax: Yoga Trains. They invited yoga expert Celest Pereira to develop a 12-minute seat-yoga and meditation(冥想) class. Travellers of all ages can follow the yoga teacher and do the exercise on their seats.

“Travelling can be very tiring. There is a lot going on and a lot of things to think about,” said Pereira. “We hope that people can feel less stressed and enjoy the present by doing yoga on a moving train. To make the experience even better, the train is decorated with colourful flowers that give off a nice smell. The ‘Yoga Train’ has been highly praised by many travellers.” “I enjoy going to new places but sometimes, travelling from place to place can make me tired,” one of the travellers who took the very first yoga train, shared her experience. “So, something like this is really great. It offers me dream travelling experience and I’m a lot more excited about my trips now.”
