My brain puts baths in the same category as yoga: it’d be ‘nice’ to relax for an hour, but I just want a 10-minute, high-impact workout; get in, get out. Showers are my cardio.
Yoga is highly relaxing and beneficial in the long run.
Yoga and mediation exist whether we choose to acknowledge or practice. It’s like a tree. You can walk by the tree and inhale the oxygen it provides consciously or unconsciously. You’ll still be benefiting from the tree.
While Chris Martin has a deep interest in yoga spirituality, it does not make him an expert on how best to portray Desi heritage.
I love hot yoga. I go to a sculpt class with weights. That’s really good for the core and it’s obviously super hot. I love cardio bar. I’m not a big gym fan, so I like to go to classes.
Staying cooped up in one place is frustrating and I try to keep myself occupied – with yoga, meditation, cooking, reading, watching movies – to take my mind off things.
Yoga is not a practice – the word ‘yoga’ means union. It does not mean standing on your head, twisting your body, or holding your breath. Yoga means to know the union of life. When you experience everything as a part of yourself, you are in yoga.
I do a mix of exercises – cardio, gym, yoga.
I meditate twice a day, T.M., and do yoga and tai chi.
Meditation is important – yoga, walking.
Diamond Dallas saved my life. He didn’t have to, but that’s the kind of guy he is. He’s helped so many people with his DDP Yoga. It’s just incredible with the lives he’s changing, the lives he’s affecting. I am so honored to be part of that.
I don’t do much physical yoga anymore, but I do use yoga for a series of medication techniques, and I do them every day. It keeps me in good health, keeps me good on the inside, and I use these techniques to keep my personal life on form.
I go to the gym twice a day. I take no days off. I do three days of DDP Yoga, and I do Pilates twice a week. Every day, I’ve got some kind of program.
I do yoga most mornings first thing when I have a little bit of time to myself, before the kids get up.
I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, and I do a lot of yoga.
I am completely at my wits’ end if I am unable to practice yoga for a few days at a stretch! Once you get into the flow it’s difficult to leave it, precisely because of the way it affects your energy levels.
Learning ballroom dancing is great for your brain. But it only works for three to six months. After that, you’ve got all the benefit you can get, and so you have to move on to yoga, and then Tai Chi, and then bridge, always keeping on the steep part of the learning curve.
I’ve tried yoga a few times and absolutely love it. I need to do it more. It makes me feel really good and relaxed.
I love Pilates, yoga, and spinning.
Your outlook is pretty happy and positive after yoga. It’s a good way to open up and center.
I’m pretty fit, and I do home workouts or yoga.
For an hour every day, I did something. I was on the elliptical or the treadmill, and if someone asked me to go to a class – whether it was spinning, boxing, yoga, you name it – I went. By the end of the month, I felt so good, I just kept going. I didn’t want to lose my momentum.
My mala beads are very precious to me. A yoga teacher and friend named Leslie made them for me with love and intention. They are very grounding, and I love them.
I do plenty of workouts – HIIT, spinning classes, Pilates, yoga.
I don’t stress about things I can’t change, so if I have a day when I don’t look great, I don’t look in the mirror! I try to fit in one session of Bikram yoga and one run a week and, if I can, one swim, but that’s pushing it.
On the days I don’t run, I do yoga and cross-training.
I do Yoga. I’d like to say I do it every morning, but I don’t, I just don’t have the time.
It’s a dream of mine to be a yoga teacher one day.
I wanted to get really fit. I wanted to lose some weight. So I’ve been doing Pilates and yoga, trying to lean out my body so I won’t be bulky.
Musically, what happened was this: I retired twice. I retired after The Black Crowes, and I retired after Brand New Immortals. Then, we started buying real estate, which really took up my time. I was busy. I was still teaching yoga, but I was mostly busy running business, and I was fine. I was happy.
I try to do yoga once a week.
Yoga has been done for thousands of years and if people keep doing it, it must mean it works.
Much has been written on the subject of self-care, and what truly counts as such; one woman’s double gin and tonic is another woman’s culturally appropriated yoga retreat.
I love yoga… I also see an Ayurvedic doctor, which is an ancient Indian thing. I go and see the doctor to balance my system twice a year; it’s preventative. They take my pulse, give me some herbs, and tell me what I should eat and what I should avoid. They rub oil on me too, it’s so lovely. It’s like a detox.
Every morning I stand on my head and do a yoga workout.
Concentration of the mind is in a way common to both Knowledge and Yoga. Yoga aims at union of the individual with the universal, the Reality. This Reality cannot be new. It must exist even now, and it does exist.
I prefer the competitive atmosphere of a classroom setting, like yoga or Pilates. That keeps me going. Although performing on stage is great exercise!
I do yoga every day, some sport, have a meal once a day, eat some fruit, and drink one glass of wine. And once a month I gather together my close friends. But my wife and I do not like conspicuous luxury.
I tend to do something for two years then move on to something new. Yoga, then biking, then weight lifting, then back to biking. The moment it feels like a rut, I switch and search for a new love. It’s like having a midlife crisis, but without the new wife or cheesy BMW.
I find the world pretty overwhelming, so I’m getting into meditation and doing lots of yoga. And I love my garden, and I love nature, and I feel like that grounds me and keeps my mind clear.
The meditative, calm sound is a reflection of my personality. I’ve got a silly and a crazy side, but it makes sense the music would come across that way. I do yoga every day and try to keep a sense of peace and calm in my life. I don’t have a lot of frantic energy.
Practicing yoga has helped me realize a deeper, grounded way of being in the world. I have learned how to communicate in a meaningful way that makes me smile and have learned the super handy skill of efficiency. Use what you need. Rest what you don’t.
The thing that comes most frequently to me on yoga retreats is excruciating pain in my hips.
Everyone should do yoga.
I hope I will be a calm mother; I do yoga and I meditate, and those should help.
In the morning, I practice 15 minutes of yoga.
Fitness has been a part of all my life since I was a young child. I started dancing ballet and doing yoga when I was three, before stopping ballet at five to start playing soccer and tennis instead. That lasted until my early teens.
Yoga is a part of who I am. It has given me a permanent relationship. A relationship between my body, my mind, and my emotions.
I think the advantage I have with yoga is that it is something I can do on my own and can’t make excuses that I don’t have a place or the time. One can practice yoga anywhere, anytime. You don’t have to worry about what you’re wearing. For all of these reasons, yoga works for me.
In everyday life, I use positive thoughts, sense of humor, Taekwondo, running, and yoga to make me stronger.
The best thing about yoga is that it is not just about weight loss but being fit from within. It’s about better concentration, a calmer mind, and knowing your body.
I’m big on yoga and of taking care of my mental health.
Before, I would play a little hoops, a little tennis. Now it’s more yoga, Pilates, stretching, some light weight work, push-ups, sit-ups, resistance things. When I used to live on the eleventh floor, I would take the steps. I don’t do that so much now. I’m taking the elevator a bit more these days.
I can be a bit extreme. I’ll spend too much time running round the park, doing yoga and drinking green tea. I can get a bit obsessive. I have to rein it in sometimes.
My sister is a chiropractor and she says I have an unusually flexible lower back, but I don’t do yoga, and I don’t feel like I’m very bendy.
Even if you’re meditating, practicing yoga, reading a book, or taking a bath – It’s so important for our wellbeing to just take some time away from social media.
I used to spend a couple of hours in the weight room, but really, an hour is long enough. I lift twice a week and on other days incorporate more core yoga and different exercises. It’s important to listen to your body. I will shut it down if I’m tired.
I’m a total tomboy at heart. If I don’t have to be on stage or doing anything that day, I’m always in band t-shirt and yoga pants and sneakers.
I practice yoga at home to a TV show called ‘Inhale,’ taught by Steve Ross. I figured that if the people on the show could stretch that deep then I could too. I ended up pulling my hip flexor. But that’s how I met my husband. Paul was the physical therapist my coach called to meet with me after hours.
I do yoga almost daily. I try to fit in swimming and cycling when I can.
I really love yoga.
On game days, I do yoga as just a really short routine. It’s more to warm up and to calm down in the morning.
I’m actually banned from the Himalayas, because I’m too good at yoga.
My yoga teacher is a guy from Michigan. ‘Yoga Dan’ – that’s what he calls himself – he’s been a big help for me.
I am an Indian, so I do yoga.
Ayurveda is a sister philosophy to yoga. It is the science of life or longevity and it teaches about the power and the cycles of nature, as well as the elements.
If I don’t do high-intensity interval training classes for an hour every morning and yoga a few days a week, I get depressed.
I don’t stretch enough. I know I should do it more, and I’d like to do yoga, but I just don’t have time.
If I’m stuck in traffic or have a bad moment in my day, I go back to my yoga practice, and I breathe.
Shilpa keeps asking me to practice yoga, and after much deliberation, I have added it into my regime.
I love the paddle board. It’s just a really good way to recenter. Being on the water is really peaceful, and you have to focus on your balance and holding yourself up. Doing a little bit of yoga under the sun on the water is really, really magical.
I want to get fitter. And yes, I’m learning hot yoga to get a bikini body. I don’t believe one has to sport a size-zero figure to flaunt it. One just needs a fit, sexy and toned body.
The standing yoga routines work all the main muscles of the body and improve stamina while increasing your metabolic rate, and there is a specific Yoga Abs workout to build all-important core strength to improve posture and trim the waistline.
I have to tell you, it’s very boring, but before I did yoga, I was a stand-up comedian who can’t stand up. And now I can stand on my head.
I’m a horrible perfectionist and very highly strung. That’s why I do yoga: to unwind.
Yoga only works one way.
When it comes to music, movies, literature, paintings, and even Bikram yoga, it’s pretty easy to have an opinion about whether something has been copied. Software, on the other hand, was an awkward late addition to the original Copyright Act of 1976, shoehorned into section 102(a) as a ‘literary work.’
I deal with postpartum feelings by reaching out to mom friends. I became very close with some of the women in my prenatal yoga class.
I spent two years in Palo Alto – what an awful, suffocating place for those of us who don’t care about yoga, yogurts and start-ups – and now I have moved to Cambridge, MA – which, in many respects, is like Palo Alto but a bit snarkier.
To help staff recharge and think better, companies are setting aside quiet places to relax, practise yoga or even take a nap. With hi-tech giants such as Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft underlining the pitfalls of being ‘always on,’ firms are imposing speed limits on the information superhighway.
Sometimes I go through a yoga phase or a spinning phase, but I try to vary my workouts so my body doesn’t get used to any one thing.
When I am home in L.A., I love to stop by a yoga class or Soul Cycle session. There is nothing like doing some cycling in the dark to club music and candle light.
Truth be told, I would love to tell you that I work out every single day and I’m really into yoga and meditation, but it’s just unrealistic. I truly could not keep up if I tried.
I take yoga classes, do a mile run, and of course take part in some kind of water sport.
I don’t have a gym membership. I usually do a bit of basic yoga or stretches at home or in my dressing room before the show. I’ve done plank for 60 seconds almost every day since 2009, when I had to wear a bikini onstage in ‘South Pacific.’
I could go back to teaching the yoga and not doing the TV for the rest of my life and be perfectly happy.
Anything that’s outdoorsy and fun, like hiking, biking, running, paddleboarding, swimming in the ocean… and then I’ll mix in Pilates, yoga, spin, ballet.
Yoga, the physical part, brings health in your body; meditation works on the mind, realizing your self. And they both can be practiced at the same time.
I am a teacher. I get up in front of large groups of people and teach them how to do yoga – I work one-on-one with them.
I do a lot of yoga and it’s made me positive.
There are so many different styles of yoga.
I do hot yoga and TRX, a kind of suspension training.
Yoga is really all about process, acceptance, and becoming more present, and I really want to show that it can expand off the mat.
I think yoga gives me awareness not just about my body from the outside but also about my internal organs. I feel it’s very important because it teaches you self-realization of your body.
People must at least do basic squats, yoga and surya namaskar every day to keep their mind and body fit.
Anytime I have to write down what I do, I write yoga instructor. That’s what I do. My thing is yoga.
Yoga’s hard for me, but I know you can really feel the difference when you do it consistently. I’d rather be playing basketball.
We thought we could reinvent the way people came together for live events. We wanted to ticket everything from a five-person yoga class to a 10-person cookery class to a fashion event.
I think you have to mix Pilates and yoga with cardio because I don’t think you’ll get the result you want to get if you’re just doing yoga.
In yoga, you hold the positions, whereas in dance, you’re constantly moving, extending, reaching through the legs and arms, which helps build long, lean muscles as opposed to shorter, tighter ones.
Just to keep myself balanced, I do things like yoga and meditation.
Yoga in America is a joke.
I go on walks during lunch breaks and travel with a fold-up yoga mat. I also love reading by candlelight at night.
I do a bit of yoga – by myself, not classes. I like to go for long walks and to garden.
I understand that it would be smart, career-wise, to line up something, but it wouldn’t be smart for my personal life or my sanity. Some people thrive when they’re working. I thrive when I’m hanging out with my friends and doing yoga.
I love my gymnastics and a flexible body, so I indulge in a lot of yoga from that aspect.
We had one task where we had a yoga mat on a big hill and told them to get three yoga balls at the bottom of the hill onto the mat. We didn’t think that one of them would bring the yoga mat down to where the balls were, so that was a reminder that sometimes these comedians can be smarter than us.
I used to dance for seventeen years -classical ballet, which was very disciplined. I like yoga and Pilates, but I don’t have the discipline to go to the gym.
For some people, staying grounded means doing yoga. For others, it’s spending time with family. Social media, too, can be a lifesaver.
I need to go to my yoga class – I love hot yoga!
Yoga is equal parts strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance.
I’ve always done yoga but I never really spoke about it.
I am doing everything to be fit – like not eating oily food, doing yoga, gymming and consulting my doc.
I say I’m the strongest in the NFL, but the yoga has helped me to a point where I can’t be moved off the line, because I know how to get rooted in the ground and use the energy around me.
I’m really into fitness, so my hobbies are yoga, Pilates, and working out.
I’m a sucker for turquoise sea, white beaches and palm trees. I’ve been to the tropics every year since I could afford it. It’s the perfect place to unwind. I can chill out, read, do a bit of yoga.
I’ve got a yoga instructor and a trainer. I just started a heavy-bag class, which is like boxing and cardio, and I salsa dance with my girlfriends. I try to do something every day. Continually exercising is natural for us.
I do yoga and meditation three times a week.
I’m from Wisconsin, and I love snowboarding, hiking, yoga and soccer.
The things I’ve really loved doing over the years most consistently are running and yoga.
It’s a big part of me still, as is being athletic – although these days I find myself playing tennis, hiking, and doing yoga and Pilates rather than swinging a bat.
I think that ballet is very good for the body. It’s very similar to yoga, because you have to hold a position.
There are people who intensely clutch an idea that yoga is a higher system, not to be lowered to the weight loss or even fitness category. This is the same kind of clutching that has kept yoga part of a tightly knit club for so long since its introduction in America.
I started doing yoga.
We do a lot of different workouts, like hot yoga, to stay flexible, loose, and healthy.
I don’t chase the perfect figure. I’d rather focus on staying and eating healthy. A combination of running, swimming, yoga and circuit training works brilliantly for my body.
The idea of the mystic solo, meditating away on his own, is only one path of yoga. Very early on, I chose the path of Life. One path is austerity and isolation, the other is Life. But they both lead to the same place.
I just don’t do the treadmill; I hate that. I do Pilates and yoga. I’ve recently joined aerial Pilates; you’re in the air and with straps. It’s crazy fun.
I have always heard that uber-successful people who write books about how to become uber-successful all have one thing in common: They all meditate every day. I consider yoga my meditation.
I need to figure out how to sleep better. Most of my binge watching is after midnight. Most of my baking is after ten. I’m really working on trying to sleep more. No devices in my bed, get into a routine. I’ve started doing yoga every night.
I used to be really into Kundalini yoga, and all the teachers show up, and they always wear white because they say it expands their aura by several feet, so I thought, ‘If it works for them…’
I always run around in gym clothes, great excuse and you never know when you can catch a yoga class.
Many exercise forms – aerobic, yoga, weights, walking and more – have been shown to benefit mood.
Emily Osment has ‘osteo-old-woman-itis.’ She can’t lift weights or do physical activity but ride her bike and do yoga.
Yoga, in its authentic form, is a system of health for the body, mind, and spirit. Neglecting an element transforms the practice into something that is not, in fact, yoga.
I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and I gained only 30 pounds.
Running – and yoga, too – is my sanity and my saviour. It’s just finding the time to do it!
There are certain ways in which I cultivate awareness, both through mindful yoga and taking care of my body and taking time to actually drop as deeply as possible into stillness, into whatever is unfolding in the present moment.
People on a spiritual path – personal growth, spiritual practice, recovery, yoga and so forth – are the last people who should be sitting out the social and political issues of our day.
I like to do a couple of yoga classes during the week. Yoga for me is more of an elongating thing.
I was a rhythmic and athletic gymnast for a little while. Then, when I quit gymnastics, I fell in love with yoga. So sometimes I think I’d like to open up a yoga studio.
I did yoga in both of my labors. It’s painful, but it helps you, you’re supposed to stay active and move around. A lot of squatting. I didn’t take any childbirth classes.
I suppose to the outside world I do seem slightly obsessed. But I once had a balance problem with my inner ear, and the fear loitered. Yet I have found that golf is like a yoga procedure for me: it’s had wonderful, sedative, remedial qualities for my day-to-day life.
My father left our family for his ‘yoga buddy’ in 1984, when I was 15. I always stayed in touch with him – I had a deep need to be connected to my father, even though it could be painful at times. I shunned the yoga community because of his actions but eventually realized that yoga could be the antidote to my pain.
I love yoga and the way it makes me feel.
Any time I am nervous, I do a couple of yoga breaths, and I am fine.
More yoga in the world is what we need.
For nearly every challenging moment in life, there’s a yoga pose to help you feel better.
I like to start my day with meditation followed by yoga and then exercise.
I’m doing yoga, MMA and things like that. I’m an unorthodox player, so I have to do things that fit my kind of game.
Yoga teaches you how to listen to your body.
I had a few months of physical prep where I was training six hours a day – I was doing an hour and a bit of yoga, I would do a couple hours of cardio and weight-lifting, and then I would do an hour or maybe two of martial arts training.
I’ve never meditated in my life. I don’t practice yoga nor any religion. I’m a tourist on the realm of stillness.
Ashtanga yoga is a well known practice for keeping yourself fit and healthy. Yoga is good for my body.
I do yoga every other day or as much as I can.
I do yoga; have been doing it for a long time now.
Where older religions promised heaven, the church of yoga promises quicker, more practical, earthly gratification, in the form of better heart rates and well-toned arms.
In yoga, we say that everyone has a magnet on them, and you’re either positively or negatively charged. So if you’re liking how you’re looking, you’re gonna be more positively charged.
I condition with Pilates and yoga; they’re my two favourite things that I do, and they go hand in hand with dancing.
Pilates and yoga, we always do those together. But I think it’s a little bit easier for me, at 5-7, to be more flexible and to move a little better than him at 6-5.
Actors of today are made to do ridiculous steps. May be you can call them yoga asanas.
During lockdown, it’s important to keep fit mentally as well as physically. Hence, I have taken to Yoga extensively.
I do yoga every morning, then I run for half an hour and take a sauna.
It took years for me to figure out what my body needs and that what works for my friends doesn’t necessarily work for me. Doing yoga five times a week has transformed my body.
Be it gym or yoga, I love it all. I start my day with it and it has to be at least for an hour and a half each morning. Even when I am holidaying, I stick to this regime.
I think everyone must practice yoga, especially during this time of COVID-19 pandemic to decrease stress and anxiety. It not only helps our physical health but also helps in maintaining a good mental health.
Indeed, the whole point of the man bun, I have surmised, is to assert a high proficiency at yoga. There are no yoga-achievement badges, no coloured belts like judo, so the male yoga expert needs some other kind of visible symbol.
My yoga mat comes everywhere. Keeps me stretched out after sitting still on all those planes, trains and road journeys.
I must know good yoga classes in about 25 cities on this planet.
I’m training in martial arts. It’s a whole new world for me and I’m loving it. I do that or hot yoga; I have to do some kind of exercise.
If I can challenge old ideas about aging, I will feel more and more invigorated. I want to represent this new way. I want to be a new version of the 70-year-old woman. Vital, strong, very physical, very agile. I think that the older I get, the more yoga I’m going to do.
I do prenatal yoga and walk a lot.
Do I do yoga? Yeah.
I think yoga has given me better posture. People don’t realise how strong it makes you. You have to use your body weight to hold yourself. As you get older, you’re supposed to lift weights, but I find that kind of boring. Yoga is lifting my own body.
Yoga helps one slow down the mind and focus better.
Wal-Mart is like a physical version of YouTube. You can find anything you want on YouTube. It let me access millions of people online who maybe wouldn’t have tried yoga. Wal-Mart carries a similar heavy weight in its ability to reach people.
I tried doing yoga, but I have dislocating shoulders, one of which has been pinned, so I find things such as yoga and pilates, where you have to stretch quite high up with your arms and things, quite difficult.
I’m really interested in finding good tips to stay in shape, and I love being in the gym, and I love doing yoga.
I enjoy yoga a lot, not even for the workout.
I can set up shop anywhere. I’ve got my oils, I’ve got my yoga mat and I’m good to go. I must know good yoga classes in about 25 cities on this planet.
Yoga changed my life. Hopefully, it will do that for others.
I love yoga.
I’ve always loved yoga because you get to connect to a deep religious truth while stretching your legs.
My workout involves cardio, jogging, and yoga as well. I am a firm believer of yoga and meditation.
I am not really into mediation etc. but I am more interested in physical benefits of yoga. I love the fact that it helps me keep a control on my body and muscles.
When you practice yoga regularly, you get more then you will from jogging on the treadmill catching up on the last season of ‘Lost.’ When you practice yoga, you use your body and your mind, and you’re gaining awareness and intuition.
I do yoga, go to the gym. I do a lot of weights, a little cardio, lots of squats, lower body stuff. I’ve had a trainer over the years, that helped get a routine.
There are some days that I have to remind myself, and I have to give myself affirmations, and I have to go to yoga or do something nice for myself. I get nervous about putting myself out there, but I want to encourage others to use their voices, too.
I never miss yoga before a show.
I wake up at 6 A.M. and start with yoga. I’m by no means a morning person, but I’ve trained myself to become one. My husband wakes up at 4:30 A.M., so he makes me feel like a loser. When you wake up and no one is in the bed, it kind of gets you up.
I’ve done everything from traditional yoga to Bikram yoga to Pilates.
I like green or brown eyes. Tall but not overwhelmingly so. I like men who do yoga and meditate.
I always mix it up. I do everything from yoga to running – StairMaster does wonders for your butt, ladies!
I can’t take a traditional yoga class or anything. I’ll just lay down and take a nap on the mat.
Flexibility is crucial to my fitness. Incorporating a good warm-up and cool-down into every session decreases my chances of injury. I use both dynamic and static stretching in my training. I’ve starting doing a few yoga sessions which incorporates muscle strength and flexibility.
I have a good grounding in yoga. I have been doing it from my graduation days.
I got introduced to yoga in drama school. It’s now a mainstay in my life, ever since I got instructor certification at a teacher-training intensive. I even occasionally guide an intimate class of friends and family, but mostly the training was to serve and deepen my own practice.
If you do Bikram Yoga, you exercise your body 100 percent.
I held down as many jobs as I could find, from being a waiter to working at a yoga studio and as a ticket-taker at a small theater company – anything that would allow me to go out and do auditions.
Yoga has brought me closer to myself. It’s helped me realize the interconnectedness of the mind, body and spirit, in the Buddhist sense of the word.
I don’t do detoxes or cleanses – they don’t really work for me. I have a really moderate, simple routine. I like to do yoga, Pilates, dance, and things like that.
I start my day with a mind, body, soul practice – yoga, Pilates or meditation.
Wherever I am, I always do yoga every day. I think it’s so important for my physical health in sport.
What fun is life if it’s taken so seriously, and what fun is yoga and the search for enlightenment if we are tight, tense, and clenched up from the inside out?
I do hot boot camp, play tennis and do yoga three times a week.
Dancing is my therapy. I also try to meditate every morning and take several two-hour yoga classes a week at my favorite yoga studio, Urban Flow.
For some reason, I find jogging incredibly boring, but yoga is the only thing I’ve been able to consistently do over the years. I think it’s because it also is sort of a mental exercise and calms you and refocuses you. So I find that that’s great, and sometimes someone will drag me to a spin class or on a hike.
With yoga, it works every part of the body and increases range of motion. People think you get super flexible and you lose your power in sport. I’m getting back to normal because I’m so wound up and tight.
Maybe the yoga I do helps me to play as much as I do. It certainly gets you in the right frame of mind, stretches and relaxes you.
When I started ‘Third Watch,’ I knew I was going to be with the firefighters and lifting, so I was doing yoga, running, and swimming – all at the same time. I didn’t have a kid then. Now I don’t have time for that. I want to spend time with my son and my husband, so it’s mainly just yoga now.
I do not view myself as a psychedelic person but as a yogi. Although most link the Beatles with bringing awareness of yoga to the public, it was myself who actually brought yoga into the mainstream in the United States.
I used to be really into Bikram yoga.
Even in L.A., where everyone’s in yoga pants, I’ve never been the girl to run around in sweats.
I’m somewhat of a masochist at heart. I like to sweat. I come from a very competitive sporting background – my dad was a world-champion surfer – so it’s always been a part of my DNA. I do a lot of soft-sand running, hiking, yoga, and boxing, and I compete in triathlons.
I don’t go to a gym, I don’t do yoga. I don’t do personal training.
You spend so much time in your head in life. And what yoga does is, it asks you to allow your head to be quiet, to allow it to be still, just for an hour and a half. Just deal with your body and your breath. And it’s a great workout. I love it.
Yoga changed my body 100 percent. It tones everything and leans you out. Dancer’s pose is amazing. It works every muscle!
I work out for an hour and a half every day, alternating between cardio and weights. I also do yoga for an hour every alternate day and swim every other day.
My mom was into spiritual stuff and yoga.
I love exercise, but I didn’t join a single sports club as a student – I have no hand-eye coordination. Things like yoga are amazing, but anything with a ball just isn’t for me.
For me, because I’ve been working out since I graduated college, I have to mix it up. But it’s not just working out for health’s sake; it’s also a whole mindset for me. Yoga is really important for that.
I like to keep fit, and when not gardening or singing solo or in a choir, I cycle, play tennis, swim, dance, and practise yoga.
I do body conditioning, spinning and yoga. On the treadmill, I’ll do intervals of running flat and then on incline. I’ll do that for an hour.
Starting out in a beginner class and really understanding the fundamentals of yoga is really important.
Yoga practice is therapeutic for the body and mind, reminds us of our goodness, energizes our creativity, and inspires.
I do Pilates and yoga and try to eat healthy.
Not only is yoga excellent for flexibility, but it is also a great tool for longevity and injury prevention, as it allows for internal body awareness.
Someday, I plan to buy a house in Goa, do only one movie a year, and spend the rest of time painting, learning how to cook, cooking for friends, and doing yoga.
I do a lot of yoga and meditation. It calms my nerves and helps me channelise my energy.
I love exercise. I hike, do yoga.
I’ve learned that a regular yoga practice is essential.
It’s no secret the benefits of yoga include but are not limited to a healthy body, calm mind, reduced stress, feeling of connectivity with self and the world, increased awareness and sensitivity, and an overall feeling of awesomeness.
My siblings and I grew up studying from both the Bhagavad-Gita and the Bible, going to Mass, and then coming home to a yoga kirtan.
I love yoga, and I love circuit training where you can do five exercises, 15-20 reps of each exercise, and I do it five times in a row – it only takes twenty minutes, and you can do it anywhere. You feel instantly better.
In yoga we say ‘you want to ground to the floor.’ Getting yourself to motivate is about putting your feet on the floor, grounding and going. It’s one of the most important forces we can have.
Yoga puts me in a place that is a little bit less about doing and more about being, which enables me, in fact, to do more.
A lot of people still disregard something like yoga. I would have as a young player. I would have been too busy playing golf or something.
I think yoga should be for everyone, not just the folks who change their name to something Hindu.
It’s very good for you, riding. You know how every model is like, ‘I do yoga.’ Well, I find horses to have the same effect, in that you have to put your ego aside and concentrate on making the horse do the things you want it to do, and move in the way you want it to move – particularly if you’re doing dressage.
I’ve started doing Bikram yoga. You’re in a boiling hot room, bending over pretending to be a locust, you can’t do that at the gym.
A lot of people over the years have been doing yoga and I think even more these days are expressing an interest in it. So there are a lot of manifestations of spirituality here in town.
I knew that I wanted to meet girls, so I joined a fraternity, and I did yoga.
Yoga gave me the ability to calm down.
I love yoga and hiking – I think that’s the perfect combo.
I used to do a lot of yoga, but I tend to lose a lot of weight when I do that.
I was in L.A. during an earthquake in 1994, an experience that really stressed me out. I started doing yoga to calm my nerves.
I like to do varied exercises, even just going for a hike with my friends or taking my dog for a walk, then going to see my trainer or going to yoga.
Yoga has been the best tool for managing stress and life’s challenges. Everything from my studies to my father’s death was eased by my practice of it.
I don’t know where my career is going, but I know that when I’m not active, it really drives me crazy. So it wouldn’t have to be a film with dance in it, but hopefully I’ll be able to be somewhat active with the projects that I do or, if not, I’ll have time on the side to do my yoga.
