Air travel rarely inspires thoughts of relaxation and calm, particularly during the holiday season, but one major U.S. airport is joining a growing list of airports looking to change that.
Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, one of the nation's busiest and most delay-prone[1] airports, on Tuesday marked the grand opening of a new addition to help stressed-out travelers relax: a yoga room.
According to ABC Chicago, the room will allow travelers to unwind[2] by doing yoga and meditating.

— Tina Sfondeles (@TinaSfon) December 10, 2013[4] O'Hare is far from the first airport to offer space for travelers to practice yoga. San Francisco International Airport became the world's first to offer the service in 2012[5] and airports in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Albuquerque and elsewhere offer similar services[6] .
In addition to the new yoga room, O'Hare's international terminal is also home to XpresSpa, which offers massages, manicures and hot shaves in addition to yoga[7] and the airport is also on the verge of offering "Minute Suite" nap rooms for travel-weary passengers[8] .
