Yoga is a big celebrity favourite – not only as a way to workout, tone up and keep their bodies in check, but also as a way of unwinding and meditating. These 5 celebrities have all gushed about how much they love regular yoga classes and credit it with helping them in so many ways – from giving them a spiritual lift to even making their skin better. Here is what they have to say about practicing yoga as part of their workout regime.
- Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer loves to stay fit with yoga and says it lifts her spirit as an extra benefit: “I do yoga, yoga is very important. I love it. If I’m not doing it, then my spirit sort of goes. I try to do some form of exercise, even if it’s just for 20 minute a day, so that I get my body sweating and blood pumping.”
- Katie Holmes
Katie loves Bikran yoga as a workout and has seen her skin improve too: ”I love Bikram yoga. I like the sweat. I feel like it’s good for me and good for my skin. I just don’t like the guys who wear those little tiny shorts. Why don’t they have a sign? It’s not OK!”
- Miranda Kerr
Before she gave birth to her son Flynn, Miranda gushed about her love for yoga and how she would use it to stay fit after pregnancy too: “I practised yoga for over 10 years and I just continued that practice throughout my whole pregnancy and then after as well. It does (keep you in shape after the birth) especially when you’re breast feeding.”
- Nina Dobrev
Nina is such a big yoga fan that she wants to open her own studio: “I want to open my own yoga studio. Planning construction and looking at properties is fun. I’m using a different part of my brain. You know that feeling when you use a different muscle? You’re excited to be exercising it, but you get a little sore! Yoga changed my life. Hopefully, it will do that for others.”
- Pink
Pink mixes yoga in to her workout regime: “I run 60 minutes a day, I do an hour of yoga and then I drink a lot of wine – I think that helps, I honestly do.”
