It is International Yoga Day on Wednesday and the entire world will celebrate this age-old practice that has its roots in India. June 21 was declared as the International Yoga Day by the UN in 2014 and India is all set to hold the third edition in Lucknow. Well, yoga is an integral part of the Indian tradition and is over 5000 years old. And you will be surprised to know that to celebrate the big day, Indian govt has launched a mobile app named ‘Celebrating Yoga’, through which people can share their experiences about participating in yoga and other related activities. Isn’t that amazing!

While Baba Ramdev has played a major role in spreading awareness about yoga in India, our Bollywood celebs have also done their best to motivate people to practice this form of exercise for a better well-being. From Shilpa Shetty’s power yoga to Kareena Kapoor Khan’s hot yoga, many of our B-Town celebs swear by this practice as it helps them soothe both mind and body.

This age-old practice is not just limited till Bollywood, many Hollywood celebs are also a big fan of yoga. From supermodel Gisele Bundchen’s freestyle yoga to Madonna’s asthanga and hatha yoga, it is one form of exercise that works the best for both the Bollywood and Hollywood stars. Yoga got popular only after Madonna took it to the West. Soon after, many other celebs too started practicing the same and saw its benefits. FRIENDS Rachel aka Jennifer Aniston is also practicing yoga since a long time. It was her good friend and instructor Mandy Ingber who introduced her to this age-old practice.

While we wish the entire world comes to know about yoga, we need to thank these Bollywood and Hollywood celebs for spreading the benefits. By practising yoga, they have contributed towards making it a global phenomenon. Here’s a look at 11 of our Hollywood beauties who credit yoga for their flawless skin and a healthy body:
