Man tries airplane seat yogafrom @natebehar11

[01]

Overview

The creator films a man on an international flight who is watching a 'Seated Yoga' tutorial on his in-flight entertainment screen. The video then shows the man attempting to perform the yoga pose in his cramped seat, looking around self-consciously as another passenger watches with a smile. The entire sequence is set to Frank Sinatra's 'Come Fly With Me' and framed by a text overlay that humorously challenges the idea of being a 'performative man.'
