Some acts are tricky. Eartha Kitt was tricky in a wonderful, old-style way. She did yoga on the piano and put her hands over her ears when the other acts were on.
If people love ‘Gremlins’ so much and ‘Clueless,’ ‘Yoga Hosers’ is not that weird. It is very weird, but compared to that stuff, it’s not that different.
I have been doing yoga long before variants like power yoga became popular.
You can fix your body, your heart, your diabetes. In Korea, China, and India, there are people who do yoga. They go to the mountains and do breath-in, breath-out meditation. They can live 500 years and not get sick. Keeping their bodies for a long time is possible; even flying in the sky is possible.
As a child, I couldn’t afford going to the gym, so I started doing pull-ups, push-ups, suryanamaskar, dand baithak and other forms of yoga. I also trained in martial arts and practiced freehand exercises.
I wrote a book called ‘Yoga for Regular Guys.’ We made the title of the book funny, but it was actually super serious. We were trying to get regular guys to do yoga. It just kept developing from there, and the concept eventually turned into DDP YOGA. I am so passionate about it.
I meditate in the morning, and my daughter will do it with me, looking like the most perfect little Buddha. I’ll do ten minutes of yoga, then two to ten minutes of meditation. She’ll sit there quietly half the time.
I feel like I finally got a routine with massages, and yoga and swimming, and all these different things that I do. I think it has helped me not get hurt.
I have always done exercise because I was a dancer, and it is probably good for you. I have done yoga consistently.

I love yoga.
I practice yoga for an hour every day and 4 days a week I do physical training.
Yoga helps me be a stronger runner. I can lose track of my form, and yoga reminds me how important it is.
Any spirituality can be enhanced with the practice or study of yoga.
We’ve all tried to bunk our gym session or dance class. A single routine can get monotonous. That’s why I have decided to make my fitness regime fun by incorporating different workouts into my schedule. From dancing to yoga, I plan to keep it as interesting as possible so I’m never bored of working out.
The goal in some types of yoga is to try and reconcile all the characters within a person, and, in fact, the word ‘yoga’ comes from the word ‘union.’
There are people doing yoga in New York, dancing around; that’s the power of India. You go to a nightclub somewhere in Spain and there’s Amitabh Bachchan on the screen there, dancing around. That’s the power of India. That’s the power of Indian people.
I have always worked out, and I’ve gone through different phases of yoga, but the combination of Pilates three days a week with yoga is incredible.
I dance a lot and I run and do yoga and play field hockey and tennis. I like to be active. I don’t always have time for that stuff, but I do always feel better afterward.

I go to yoga classes and work on my core.
I wanted to share the experience of how yoga and meditation have transformed my life, how they have enabled me to observe who I am, first in my body, and then emotionally, and on to a kind of spiritual path.

I do bikram yoga as often as I can – and if I can’t, I’ll go for a run.

Everyone thinks they can cure stress by adding to their schedule, like going to yoga. Oh, great – one more thing to feel guilty about when you can’t do it.
I try and work out as much as I can. When I’m working or travelling, it’s tough, but when I’m at home, that time and space is sacred. I do yoga every day.
When I came back to Mumbai after boarding school, I was 16 and I picked up weight training and yoga. This is when I also started dance classes and Pilates and then I started doing different workouts every month. I am now proficient in kick boxing, gymnastics, classical dance as well as yoga.
To relax, I do yoga and meditate and do little math problems, and it’s fun to check that part of your brain off and turn on a different part.
Yoga has allowed me to bring my complete spirit together, which allows me to do less, which is more.
I enjoy yoga a lot. Dhanurasana, Matsyasana and Pranayama are my favourite.
I am so lazy. I really don’t have a regimen. When I was younger I used to be into cardio and taebo and step-orobics and hiking. Lately, I haven’t done anything at all. I’d like to get into yoga, but I’ve been really bad.
I am a health nut who juices daily, takes vitamins, stays active, works out, does yoga, goes to sweat lodges, eats healthy and reads up on nutrition and spirituality.

I love boxing, MMA, and hiking with my dog. I work out 3 times a week, and on my off days, I do yoga to keep my body relaxed and to stretch.
Yoga introduced me to a style of meditation. The only meditation I would have done before would be in the writing of songs.
Before me, there was no money, no business with yoga.
I really like to hike. L.A. is a great place for that. And doing yoga a couple of times a week is a really big part of my regimen.
Yoga is just good for you.
Yoga is a way to freedom. By its constant practice, we can free ourselves from fear, anguish and loneliness.
Yoga has helped me to see death as more of a gift than a loss, and that has been my experience so far.
We’re built to need a thing. I do think everyone has god. It’s just, who’s god for you? Is it god in the sky? Is it Shantel who teaches hot yoga Thursday mornings? Is it the person you’re in a relationship with? I hope not.
I do yoga. I do tai chi. I do a lot to keep my body and my spirit together so I can work.

Yoga always made me feel really good about myself.
For the first 42 years of my life, I was the guy who wouldn’t be caught dead doing yoga.
People don’t understand, and I do, is what happens after wrestling. What do you do when people stop chanting your name? For me, I already had that with the nightclub business before wrestling and now with DDP YOGA.

Never did I imagine that a simple practice like yoga would benefit me in so many ways throughout a tough period like Covid.

I had a friend that was really passionate about yoga, and she let me come with her to a couple of her classes – I just got really into it. The more you practise, the better you get. It’s an hour when I’m not thinking about anything except breathing.
When I’m driving past the place I used to work, or when I’m driving past the comedy studio where I used to take photos in exchange for classes, or when I’m driving past the yoga studio I used to clean on the weekends – it’s not that far removed from me yet. I get very sentimental over things like that.
I started practicing yoga. I started learning some hands-on healing stuff. And I found really good chiropractors, really good massage therapists, and what I found is I’ve been able to actually peel off layers of trauma on my body and actually move better now than I did.
I think yoga builds strength, flexibility, and calming of the mind – which is never a bad thing.
Hot yoga is something that I forced myself to get into. When I first did it, I thought, ‘How on earth am I going to get through an hour and a half of this?’ because I was so hot.
With gyms unaccessible, Yoga is the only way to keep yourself fit.
Yoga is not Indian; it does not belong to India.
I did yoga in the cell, meditated, and slept well; somebody brings you some food and drink. I’ve been arrested four times now.
I like to start the day with yoga. It’s the best way of moving into the day.
It wasn’t easy in the 1970s when I initially started on my mission – to take yoga to the world. Nobody knew what it was in Japan. When I met Bill Clinton for the first time, he asked me if it was a form of yogurt that you eat! But I kept my faith and never gave up on my quest.
The means that make one qualified for enquiry are meditation, yoga, etc. One should gain proficiency in these through graded practice and thus secure a stream of mental modes that is natural and helpful.
I discovered yoga in Sydney during my ‘chubby’ phase at this school on the beach that taught ashtanga-hatha flow. I gradually moved towards ashtanga, going beyond the primary level, which is a feat in itself, and even did an internship as I thought I wanted to become a yoga teacher.
