I wish all my flight were through Midway!

Had a long layover and was absolutely delighted to find this room. The soft music and fresh air brought in canceled out the outside noise. I would make a long layover on purpose to have time to use this room again!

Surprised to see this and after hearing my flight would be delayed 3 hours I sought out an activity and went here. A family with children were in the room when I arrived probably hoping to have the space for the little ones to play. They quickly left though I didn't say anything. There were no wipes for the mats. Thankfully I had one from my prior flight. While doing some yoga stretching and breathing an attendant came in to refill the wipes. Strange coincidence. The flat panel tv was off so there were no images or soothing sounds other than the sound of AC running. Several people popped their heads in but no one else came in. A good 25 minutes well spent. Search for a YouTube video for whatever yoga routine you need.

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed to walk past this yoga room in Midway Airport near Terminal B and the USO room. I went in and found four people using the room to relax and work out the kinks that travel often causes. The room, while small, is thoughtfully arranged and appointed. A bench just inside the door gives an easy way to remove your shoes. Across the room, a cubby system holds your shoes and small items near a basket with several yoga mats neatly rolled, and a notice on the wall outlines some ground rules for the room. A floor to ceiling mirror along one of the long walls is exactly what I expect to see in a yoga room. Finally, the frosted glass in the door and window provide natural lighting as well as privacy for those in the yoga room. The designers of this room have excelled in helping travelers find a bit of peace in a usually hectic place.

A busy airport, hectic travel day, a little too much time between flights... Guess we could have a beer. Or walk into the yoga room at Midway. It's just what you want: quiet, mats, tranquil music. The rules are posted on the wall, cell phones are silenced and the shoe rack has charging stations for your phone. There is a large security panic button on the wall. Though I've used the room several times and it's always been up and up and well worth it.I wish all airports had a little yoga room. Enjoy!
