◎魏國金
Stressed-out commuters got a surprise as they boarded an Israeli bus：a yoga instructor with a microphone coaching them how to breathe correctly.
背負沉重壓力的通勤族登上一輛以色列公車時，得到一個意外驚喜︰一位配戴麥克風的瑜伽老師指導他們如何正確呼吸。
The passengers stretched their hands toward the ceiling and bent their heads forward as Miri Harovi, a 21-year yoga teacher, guided them through a set of exercises that can be performed while sitting down.
21歲的瑜伽老師哈洛薇指導他們一套可以坐著進行的動作，乘客隨之將手朝著車頂伸展，並將頭向前弓。
"I think that because of our history of terror on buses,’’ Harovi said, referring to past suicide attacks that have targeted crowded buses."It’s very important to do yoga to relax and to show everyone that life is stronger than the fear.’’
「我認為，由於我們的公車恐怖的歷史，」哈洛薇說，意指過去針對擁擠公車發動的自殺攻擊。「所以做瑜伽來放鬆，並向每個人顯示生命強過恐懼，是非常重要的。」
Harovi said the idea of for a yoga bus came to her in the middle of the night while she was sleeping. She talked to the Tel Aviv bus company and they jumped on the idea.
哈洛薇說，公車瑜伽的點子是某晚她睡到夜半時浮現的。她向特拉維夫公車公司商談，他們立刻贊成這個主意。
Most of the passengers on the bus participated, and many said they felt relaxed and more ready for work. The yoga bus has run every Tuesday for three weeks, but Harovi hopes that the program will continue and expand.
大部分公車乘客會參與這項活動，許多人表示覺得放鬆了，更有精神上班工作。每週二上路的瑜伽公車已持續三週，哈洛薇希望計畫能持續並擴大。
