The world of celebrity is hustling and bustling, with a constant revolving door of new faces coming out to bump the older ones out of the way. With that being said, there’s an enormous amount of pressure on A-listers these days to stay on top of their game. With having to be in peak shape physically comes a great mental strain too, so what do the likes of Kate Hudson and Gwyneth Paltrow do to stop themselves from going absolutely nuts? We have one word for you. Yoga.

Yoga originated in ancient India, but only caught on in the western world in the twentieth century. Not only is it a great way to keep in shape and get super flexible, but it strives to bring the practitioner inner strength too. It’s no wonder that celebrities the world over can often be found twisted into all sorts of shapes in skintight spandex. More often than not, Instagram feeds offer up a plethora of serene shots of yoga poses and gym wear. We aren’t complaining. In fact, we could all do with taking some time out to try one of the many forms of the ancient practice – but for right now, why don’t you take a look through 15 Celebrities Who Love Yoga for some inspiration?

Namaste.

15. CARMEN ELECTRA

Carmen Electra is a woman of many talents. Born to entertainer parents, Electra debuted into the industry after meeting Prince in Minnesota who launched her singing career. Most famously known as a glamour model, Electra has to keep her body in shape. Like many celebrities, she’s a devoted Yoga addict, often doing it on the daily. Rigorous workout routines along with the vast benefits of yoga keep this 45-year-old looking 25. There’s no doubt that Electra remains one of Hollywood’s hottest, on top of her game despite being in the biz for decades.

14. JESSICA BIEL

Accomplished actress, mother and wife to pop star Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel testifies that yoga is ‘a constant for her’. After giving birth to her first child in 2015, it didn’t take long for her to bounce back into shape. Jessica credits her incredible figure to a great clean diet with plenty of water, no alcohol and a healthy dose of probiotics – and yoga of course. As of this summer Mrs Timberlake jumped back onto our screens as the series lead in USA network’s The Sinner. There’s no signs of her career slowing down yet, and we’d say that Biel is a pretty good example of the successful modern mother.

13. GISELE BUNDCHEN

Gorgeous former model and wife of football pro Tom Brady, is it really any wonder that Gisele Bundchen is on this list? Tall and perfectly toned, her Instagram is full of plenty of snaps showing various yoga poses on the deck of her house or in her living room. In this particular shot, she poses for fashion powerhouse Vogue on a sandy beach and we’re pretty happy about it. Bundchen was one of the longest running Victoria’s Secret models, with a reign of 7 years from 2000-2007; as we know, only the most svelte and leggy catwalk walkers are chosen for that particular honor, which would explain why Bundchen spent so many years on top before taking a step back to concentrate on her marriage and kids – and yoga.

12. NINA DOBREV

The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev is a huge Bikram fanatic and practices it before bed to calm her mind and improve circulation. As Dobrev is such a fan of this type of exercise, she can often been seen in the pages of glossy magazines sharing her favorite routines and spreading the Bikram word. And of course, like many celebs she likes to bust a pose out on the beach and in other idyllic locations, sharing a snap or two on her Instagram. Since leaving the The Vampire Diaries in its sixth season, Dobrev has starred alongside Ellen Page in the movie Flatliners and Vin Diesel in the latest installment of the XXX franchise.

11. MILEY CYRUS

The pop world’s good girl gone bad, Miley Cyrus, has been an avid practitioner of yoga for years now. The above pic was snapped back in 2013, when Miley was on a trip to Costa Rica. Of course, there’s nothing we like better than starting the day off with a good stretch on a beautiful beach while we’re on holiday (or a Pina Colada). At the time of her trip, Cyrus tweeted, ‘Para para paradise… Rare to get a moment to thank the universe for all my blessings in the form of yoga in a place like this.’ With her relationship with Liam Hemsworth back on track and her life seemingly more together than ever, we bet Miley is counting her blessings even more these days.

10. MIRANDA KERR

The 34-year-old model and ex-wife of Orlando Bloom keeps herself in tip-top shape with yoga. Miranda Kerr got her big break as a Victoria’s Secret model in 2007, the same year that Gisele Bundchen left her wings behind. Kerr uses her physique and doe-eyed looks to her advantage, raking enough money to have consistently been listed on Forbes list of top-earning models since 2008. That’s not to be sniffed at. There’s no doubt that being in the public eye and relying on your looks to pay the bills is a huge amount of pressure for anyone to carry, so balancing your mind while keeping your body healthy is a pretty good move to make.

9. AMY WILLERTON

25-year-old pageant queen and television personality Amy Willerton is also a fan of the super-stretchy practice. After winning Miss Universe Great Britain in 2013 and failing to scoop the ultimate crown in the defining Miss Universe contest, Willerton flew straight to Australia to film the UK’s highly popular reality show, I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! She has bounded around the reality TV circuit ever since; while maintaining her Miss Universe body for the cameras. More often than not the Bristol native has been compared to the Cindy Crawford, with her awe-inspiring curves and beautiful flowing hair. What do you think?

8. KATE HUDSON

For those celebrities that really, really love keeping fit and yoga, there’s nothing more left to do than start your own line of workout clothes – and that’s exactly what Kate Hudson did in 2013 when she teamed up with JustFab to launch Fabletics, a membership service that decks you out in all the latest gym wear. Is that a smile because she’s doing yoga in this snap, or because she’s raking in a huge paycheck? Let’s face it, it’s probably a bit of both. Hudson has proclaimed her love for meditation too, stating ‘Meditation has been the most helpful and life-changing thing for me. You can feel the difference when you meditate on a regular basis. At least I can…. I started practicing transcendental meditation a year and a half ago so I meditate 20 minutes in the morning and I try to do another 20 minutes in the afternoon.’

7. JENNY MCCARTHY

There’s nothing like being a former Playboy model to make sure that you keep going to the gym. Jenny McCarthy got her big break in the magazine founded by the late Hugh Hefner in 1993, and hasn’t slowed down since. Now an author, television presenter and author, there’s almost nothing McCarthy hasn’t turned her hand to. Leading such a busy life has to come with its own share of stresses (especially when you dated such crackers as Jim Carrey for a considerable amount of years). McCarthy married into the Wahlberg acting dynasty when she snared Donnie back in 2013. He probably backs her yoga obsession 110%.

6. KALEY CUOCO

32-year-old Kaley Cuoco has been around longer than you might think, picking up a series of supporting film roles since the 90’s. However, it wasn’t until her starring role as lovable actress Penny in the hit comedy series The Big Bang Theory that the world really started taking notice. It’s not always been an easy road for the California girl, who dated her co-star Johnny Galecki and endured a divorce from first husband Ryan Sweeting. When Cuoco first started appearing as Penny, she was more curvacious than she is now. These days, she sports a perfectly toned body that just oozes health – as you can see by this snap taken on the set of the show, yoga had a part to play in this transformation.

5. CHRISTIE TURLINGTON

Stunning model Christie Turlington is 48 years young – but you wouldn’t think it, would you? The brunette beauty has a pretty impressive resume, from model to charity-founder. A firm practitioner of Jivamukti yoga, Turlington has been stretching out her muscles and learning the craft for 20 years. Not content with just doing it, she’s also penned two books on the subject, Living Yoga: Creating a Life Practice in 2002 and also the Yoga Journal. If the sight of this ultra-fit beauty isn’t enough to have you reaching for a copy of either of these, then we don’t know what is. Turlington married actor Edward Burns in 2003 and have two children together. Interestingly enough, her sister Kelly married Burns’ brother Brain.

4. JENNIFER ANISTON

Is there anything we don’t love about Jennifer Aniston? She stole our hearts as Rachel in the uber-popular sitcom Friends, and gained worldwide sympathy when her A-list husband Brad Pitt left her for sultry actress Angelina Jolie. Jen proved she didn’t need pity when she continued to style it out with a grace that can’t be taught – but did yoga and meditation have a hand in that? Over the years just about every glossy magazine in the world has revealed an insight into how to get the 48-year-old actresses age-defying physique. According to People, Aniston uses a mixture of spin, cardio and yoga to keep everything in five star form.

3. GWYNETH PALTROW

A few years ago, actress Gwyneth Paltrow unleashed Goop onto the world, her own website dedicated to lifestyle and well-being. It hasn’t been without its controversies, receiving criticism for touting potentially dangerous practices such as vaginal steaming and jade eggs. What can’t be denied is Paltrow’s love of yoga, stating once when asked, ‘Physically, it completely changed me. I found strength that I never thought I had. And mentally, I mean, it’s taught me just patience and letting go, and it’s really changed my whole psychological outlook, I think.’ Probably best to stick to championing yoga, Gwyneth. Leave the intimate care routines for another day!

2. HILARIA BALDWIN

Hilaria Baldwin married in to the Baldwin acting dynasty when she snared Alec back in 2011. They met while she was teaching Yoga at Yoga Vida in New York, so it’s no surprise that she absolutely adores practicing it. The couple have certainly been busy, with three children already had and a fourth on the way. Hilaria is also the lifestyle expert for EXTRA, sharing all of her health, beauty and fashion tips to make living a bit more bearable for the likes of you and me. Baldwin clearly likes his women in shape, having previously been married to Kim Basinger – although the less said about that horrible divorce, the better!

1. MADONNA

The Queen of Pop. Madge. The Material Girl. Whatever you like to call her, there’s no denying that Madonna is ruler of switching up her image. One thing remains constant and unchanging though despite all of the decades past – her amazing figure. Madge has been practicing yoga for years now, and it shows. Often using her skills on stage for body (and mind) bending tricks, it doesn’t disappoint fans. With often relentless touring schedules and the pressure of living in the lime light, most would buckle under the pressure – but Madonna is old hat and uses yoga to keep her body and mind in check. If that’s the key to a successful career, then count us in.
