In-Flight Essentials for the Traveling Yogi
Comfortable air travel doesn’t have to be a flight of fancy. Infuse wellness into your travel routine with these in-flight essentials that make flying a breeze, from takeoff to touchdown (even if you’re stuck in that middle seat).
ZEN IN TEN
Banish pre-flight jitters and take a deep, cleansing breath with a meditation class on Alo Moves. Whether you’re looking for a calm breathwork technique, a short meditation, or a long and restorative sound bath, you’ll find what you need to start vacation in your seat. The best part? No Wi-Fi is required. Download classes on the app before your flight and take your practice wherever you go.

ON A ROLL
No room to stretch? Pack a yoga therapy ball (or lacrosse ball) in your carry-on for instant myofascial release. Learn a few techniques for lacrosse ball massage here (we recommend the ones for feet and hamstrings).

SKY LOUNGE
Once you try the Alo Yoga Lounge Leggings, you’ll never want to fly in anything else again. These ultra-comfy leggings are made from soft performance fabric that’s breathable yet cozy for running through the terminal and resting in the chilly airplane cabin.

TOTAL SNOOZEFEST
Zero good movies on the in-flight entertainment? Nap time it is. This satin and organic cotton eye mask is infused with Binchotan charcoal, which is said to help ease tension and relieve pressure around the eyes. This eye mask is perfect for long red-eye flights and helping to reduce jet lag.

GIVE ME THE TEA
The name of this tea says it all: “Peaceful Easy Feeling.” Next time the flight attendant comes around with hot water, dip in this herbal elixir of chamomile, rose hips, lemon verbena, and lavender to soothe your mind, body, and soul. Bonus: it tastes good and does good as well. The T Project makes organic, fair trade, ethically sourced teas delivered in eco-friendly, sustainable packaging.

OH SO COZY
At Alo Moves, we’re all about flexibility — and we’d expect nothing less from our travel pillow. This one contorts to a variety of shapes to support whatever position you choose to rest on the plane, from the window seat to the aisle. It’s also machine washable and does triple duty as an eye mask and noise-canceling ear covers.
