# Yoga Traffic Lights Li Ming Hsing Turns Crosswalks into Mini Yoga Studios With Her New Design By Michael Hines | Published 2011-03-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoga-traffic-light References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/03/16/yoga-at-the-lights/) & [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/03/16/yoga-at-the-lights/) Li Ming Hsing is trying to make the time spent waiting at traffic lights more productive with the Yoga Traffic Light. The Yoga Traffic Light is designed exactly like a regular traffic light except that it shows yoga poses during red lights. Living in the city means spending a lot of time waiting for [crosswalk lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polis) to turn green. While it may not seem like that long, the time spent waiting for a light to turn green does start to add up, especially if you walk everywhere. The Yoga Traffic Light turns what would be wasted time into a fun mini yoga session. I think everyone could benefit from a little downward facing dog and flamingo pose in between green lights.
