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.
