The Hollywood star was travelling from New York's JFK Airport to Utah's Salt Lake City when she left her seat and began bending and stretching in front of shocked onlookers.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Uma started doing yoga in the aisles. She used the flight-attendant station as a ballet barre, where she stretched and did plies for 20 minutes."
Most travellers politely looked in another direction and put Uma's antics down to a stringent fitness regime.
However, they were surprised to see the health-conscious 38-year-old star race off the plane when it landed and immediately light up a cigarette.
The source explained: "After we left the plane, she ran for an exit and then chain-smoked like crazy."
Uma has previously revealed that if she isn't exercising she finds shopping helps her forget about the pressures of acting.
She said: "I shop all the time and I buy more or less anything! Clothes express the way I feel and I go through very different stages over the year, the month, the week or even the day."
