People across the world have been practicing yoga for decades now to stay fit and remain in good shape. While some enjoy yoga in the comfort of their homes, some go to dedicated yoga centres for the same. However, now we have come across a video where an astronaut has performed some quick yoga poses in space. We are talking about European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti who is known for sharing videos of her experience during her space stay. In a recent video shared on social media, the astronaut can be seen performing some Cosmic Kids yoga poses inside the International Space Station (ISS).
In the video shared by the Cosmic Kids on their official Twitter handle, the astronaut while following the directions of the instructor Jaime from earth performed the different yoga poses efficiently. “What happens when you try to do yoga in space? Here’s the astronaut doing Cosmic Kids on the ISS!” the caption read.
