Mom-to-be Eva Longoria, unwinding in July of 2017, has been a yoga devotee for over a decade. “I started doing yoga maybe 15 years ago, when a friend of mine was like: ‘Let’s go to yoga class,’ and then another friend was a yoga teacher, so he would come over and give us private lessons,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in 2016. “I like to combine it with something else—yoga with SoulCycle or yoga with kickboxing. I think it’s the perfect way to end a workout.”
