Stories from around the weird and
wonderful world of yoga
Planet yoga
Royal appointment
Prince Harry’s latest squeeze
Meghan Markle was spotted
recently heading to a yoga studio
in Toronto for a bit of downtime on
the mat. The 35-year-old actress
is currently filming US TV legal
drama series ‘Suits’ in the city. She
was ‘papped’ by photographers
clutching her own rolled up yoga
mat and sporting a $1,500 Mulberry
tote bag as she made her way to
the studio. Toronto’s vibrant yoga
scene is enough to entice anyone
though. Yoga and wellness is
booming in Canada’s biggest city,
with lots of fab new studios.Epic fail
US rapper 50 Cent has admitted that
yoga can be hard going, after trying
his first class recently. The singer got
a rude awakening after trying to keep
up with fellow yoga students with more
experience. “It started out good and then
the ladies started going faster and faster,”
he told Harry Connick Jr. in a television
interview. “It was difficult moves for you
to put your body in different spaces and I
was like, ‘what?’ and I’m looking around to
see if other people are having the same
experience. I ended up in a class that was
a little too advanced for me.” Moral of
the story: don’t follow the crowd, just play
your own game.Flying high
Airline pilot Malin Rydqvist, 29, who flies
a Boeing 737 for her day job, is winning
admirers for her yoga moves too.
Between flying around the world in her
jet, she is posting flawless headstands
on social media from locations around
the world. Multi-talented Rydqvist, who
is Swedish but based in Croatia, swaps
her pilot’s hat for her yoga pants as
soon as she touches down. She says
she first got into yoga after a 2008
snowboarding accident, which left her
with back pain. “I tried everything and
the only thing that really worked for me
was yoga,” she was quoted as saying
by the Daily Mail.Croatia
