Yoga the answer to flight crew stress

Air India's newest flight attendants will possess a new sense of calm as the airline introduces daily yoga as part of its training programme.

More than 78 new pilots and 300 cabin crew members hired by the airline will begin their training days with a 6:30am yoga class according to The Economic Times.
