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.
