Train passengers given live yoga classes from the comfort of their seats during journey

為緩解出行焦慮 英國(guó)推出“火車上的瑜伽課”

A TRAIN operator from Britain has made travelling more tranquil – by hosting live yoga classes during journeys.

英國(guó)一家火車運(yùn)營(yíng)商在列車上舉辦現(xiàn)場(chǎng)瑜伽課，讓乘客的旅途變得更加寧?kù)o舒心。

Heathrow Express passengers travelling on October 13 were treated to sessions with yoga influencer Celest Pereira, who has developed a 12-minute seat-yoga and meditation session to help travellers relax.

為了幫助旅客放松下來，10月13日，瑜伽大師賽麗斯特·佩雷拉在希思羅機(jī)場(chǎng)快線上向旅客講授了12分鐘的坐姿瑜伽和冥想課。

The class has been developed so travellers of all ages and abilities can perform the exercises safely from their seats – and it’s believed to be the first time a yoga class has taken place on a moving train.

這堂課可以讓各個(gè)年齡段和不同身體條件的旅客都參與進(jìn)來，在座位上就可以安全地練習(xí)瑜伽。據(jù)稱，這是第一次在行駛的火車上開設(shè)瑜伽課。

To get passengers in the right frame of mind, the ‘Tranquil Train’ carriage hosting the sessions was decorated with fresh eucalyptus and lavender to fill the carriage with soothing aromas.

為了讓乘客進(jìn)入狀態(tài)，開展瑜伽課的這節(jié)“寧?kù)o列車”車廂用新鮮的桉樹葉和薰衣草作裝飾，讓整節(jié)車廂充滿了舒緩身心的香氣。

The initiative was trialled after a study also commissioned by Heathrow Express found more than half of public transport users find travel stressful following the Covid-19 pandemic.

在試點(diǎn)舉辦瑜伽課前，希思羅機(jī)場(chǎng)快線委托開展的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，新冠疫情暴發(fā)后，超半數(shù)公共交通乘客感覺旅途中壓力重重。

Celest Pereira said: “Travelling can get very fraught – there’s lots going on, lots of things to think about, and it’s very deadline driven - so it can be a very intense experience.

賽麗斯特·佩雷拉說：“旅行途中要操心很多事，要處理、要考慮的事情很多，時(shí)間也很趕，所以人們會(huì)感到很緊張。”

"By hosting these classes we’re hoping to alleviate those pressures and help passengers be in the present moment, feel less overwhelmed and relieve any muscle tension.

“通過開展瑜伽課，我們希望可以緩解這些壓力，幫助乘客享受當(dāng)下，減輕心理負(fù)擔(dān)，放松肌肉。”

The study of 2,000 adults also identified the most frustrating aspects of travel – including delayed departures (52 percent) and crowds (48 percent).

這項(xiàng)涵蓋了2000名成人的研究還列出了旅途中最讓人抓狂的事，包括出發(fā)延誤(52%)和人群擁擠(48%)。

Missing flights, trains, or buses (47 percent) also leads to aggravation, as does trying to find a seat (43 percent) and worrying you’ve forgotten something like your passport or the tickets (40 percent).

錯(cuò)過航班、火車或公交車(47%)最令人懊惱，其次是找不到座位(43%)以及忘帶護(hù)照或車票等物品(40%)。

Other worries include getting lost (38 percent), being separated from your luggage (33 percent), and missing travel announcements (29 percent).

其他煩心事包括迷路(38%)、人和行李分離(33%)以及沒看到(聽到)行程公告(29%)。

So perhaps it’s no wonder 72 percent would like operators do more to make travelling on public transport more relaxing.

難怪有72%的人希望運(yùn)營(yíng)商采取措施，幫助人們?cè)诠步煌ǖ穆猛局蟹潘尚那椤?/p>

Joe Bence, a 26-year-old from London who was among those who boarded the Heathrow Express ‘Tranquil Train’, said: “I have such a busy life and usually look at my phone on the train - but today I completely switched off.

26歲的倫敦人喬·本斯也是希思羅機(jī)場(chǎng)快線“寧?kù)o列車”上的乘客之一。他表示：“我平時(shí)特別忙，在火車上一般都是看手機(jī)，但是今天我卻得到了徹底的放松。”

"The class was a nice distraction from life, it made my day.”

“這堂瑜伽課是很好的消遣，讓我一整天都很愉快。”

Those polled also revealed how operators might be able to reduce passenger worry when travelling – including more ‘quiet carriages’ (39 percent) and reserved seats (39 percent).

此次調(diào)研還向運(yùn)營(yíng)商提出了幫助旅客分憂的辦法，39%的受訪者認(rèn)為“車廂應(yīng)該更安靜”，還有39%的旅客希望有預(yù)留座位。

Free snacks or refreshments (36 percent) would also make a difference, as would reserved places for luggage (32 percent) and onboard entertainment to take mind off things (30 percent).

調(diào)查還發(fā)現(xiàn)，提供免費(fèi)小吃或飲料(36%)和預(yù)留行李位置(32%)能改善旅客心情，在旅途中提供娛樂節(jié)目(30%)也能讓旅客暫時(shí)忘卻煩惱。

Three in 10 (30 percent) would also like tranquil music to be played during journeys, while a quarter (24 percent) think calming fragrances would help, according to the OnePoll.com data.

OnePoll網(wǎng)站的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，30%的旅客希望旅途中可以播放舒緩的音樂，四分之一(24%)的旅客認(rèn)為安神的香氣有助于放松。

The eucalyptus aroma on the ‘Tranquil Train’ made an impression on many passengers.

“寧?kù)o列車”上桉樹葉的芳香讓許多乘客印象深刻。

Commenting on her experience, Elizabeth, from Washington DC, said: “This was a real pick me up, especially after a long overnight flight. The smell is so wonderful.”

來自華盛頓特區(qū)的伊麗莎白在評(píng)論這段旅行經(jīng)歷時(shí)說道：“這種香氣真的很提神，尤其在搭乘了漫長(zhǎng)的夜間航班之后。這種香氣真是太美妙了。”
