Consumers in the UK and elsewhere are making the most of the fantastic range of yoga wear now available and in many ways the trend among people has been led by celebrities, a considerable number of whom have extolled the benefits of taking part in such exercises.
Indeed, drawing attention to the popularity of the discipline among A-listers, the Times of India pointed out that former Friends star Jennifer Aniston is a big fan. It suggested that the star dons her yoga clothing for at least five sessions a week and has credited the activities for its de-stressing and body toning properties. Meanwhile, she also said it helped her to quit smoking.
Of course, Aniston is by no means alone. Another celebrity highlighted by the publication was fellow actress Meg Ryan, who it claimed gets stuck into yoga at home. Reportedly, the American has claimed that meditation is what draws her to the activity and it has helped her to establish calm and peace in her life.
Another high-profile individual to enjoy slipping into her yoga wear is Madonna, who is said to have been one of the first celebrities to adopt yoga as a lifestyle.
And it is not only women who enjoy the discipline. Singer Ricky Martin also dons his yoga clothing and takes part in the exercises while at home. According to the Times of India, he is particularly keen on Hatha yoga, which is also called hatha vidya and was said to originate in India in the 15th century.
Many consumers feel inspired when they hear of celebrities who have made the most of yoga and this serves as an impetus for them to research the options open to them. People of any age can make the most of the activity and it can also be useful as a way of alleviating the symptoms of particular medical conditions.
