Stacy Haiduk
(Kristen) builds up
her core muscles
to keep her back
from giving out.Yoga gives me strength because it works
a lot of the core muscles and just [helps
with] breathing. That helps me a lot with
my lower back issues.”
Y&R’s Joshua Morrow (Nick) is also
a fan of yoga. “I found yoga thanks to my
wife [Tobe],” he shares. “She dragged me
to it probably seven or eight years ago. My
physical therapist had been recommend-
ing it forever but I was like, ‘No way. I’m
good.’ But as you get older, your body
needs more and more maintenance. My
wife introduced me to yoga and I fell in
love with it. It’s definitely my favorite
workout. My flexibility has improved dra-
matically from before I started. It’s really
helped my back a lot. I’ve got a bad back,
as the crew and the show will tell you whenJILL JOHNSON/JPI AMANDA EDWARDS/GETTY IMAGES STEVEN BERGMAN
