celeb yoga scoop

Yes, I've come out of the closet with my teeny tiny obsession with keeping up with what's going on the celebrity world. Sometimes I do run across pertinent info...such as these stars sharing their love of yoga...

"Yoga is a metaphor for life. You have to take it really slowly. You can't rush. You can't skip to the next position. You find yourself in very humiliating situations, but you can't judge yourself. You just have to breathe, and let go. It is a workout for your mind, your body and your soul." Madonna

"I'm learning yoga. It's fascinating. Once again, it's all about getting to know your "self." Connecting your heart and your mind in order for you to not make compulsive or obsessive decisions in life. Simplicity is the medicine." Ricky Martin

"I started [yoga] about five years ago. I will say, definitely, it changed my life. It made me calmer. It puts you right in the place of witness - which is great." This is a testament to the fact that yoga really does teach people about life in general. The practice differs from a 'regular' exercise regimen where the physical body is only focused on. Having a personal trainer does make one feel better physically and can increase strength, but there is little focus on meditation or calming the emotions. " Meg Ryan

Really, how did you think Madonna got those arms? I heard she can crack walnuts with her biceps alone. ;-)

Have a lovely, lovely weekend.
