There’s a stereotype that yoga classes are just for women. I mean, yeah, if you walk into a yoga class, it’ll probably be mostly women, but that doesn’t mean men aren’t welcome. Lets look at 10 famous men who are breaking the stereotype and embracing yoga. It’s a great workout and if you have any doubts about that, just look at these gorgeous men and their bodies.

Adam Levine, the singer of Maroon 5, is know not only for his talent, but also for his looks. When I say looks I don’t just mean his gorgeous face. He’s quite a proud owner of a very hot body. We’ve all seen THAT magazine cover. Want to know how he maintains that body? Yup, yoga. Who would’ve thought, right? Adam says he’s also a very fidgety person, and finds it difficult to concentrate and yoga helps him focus.

Our favorite noble Pirate of the Caribbean is a big fan of yoga. He might’ve been introduced to yoga by his lovely and gorgeous wife Miranda Kerr, but he hasn’t looked back since.

Part italian, part irish, part Vulcan, the star of Star Trek is also a fan of yoga. Turns out Spock, sorry I mean Zachary, is a big fan of yoga.

It’s easy to take yoga with you, cause you don’t need any special equipment and you can literally do yoga anywhere.
- Colin Farrell
Colin Farrell admits that some friends still make fun of him for doing yoga. However, he’s sure that it’s because they’ve never tried it.

Russell Brand does a lot of things. He’s a hilarious actor, witty comedian, prolific author, activist and all in all a very lovely, talkative and talented man. He’s also quite an avid yoga fan. He’s been doing yoga for years now and he can’t stop talking about it in almost every interview. Russell firmly believes that yoga is equally great for both physical and mental health.

Robert likes to believe that life can be changed completely in a matter of hours, so he likes to keep himself on his toes.

David Beckham is a legendary soccer player, but we mostly admire him for his amazing hair and gorgeous body.

This special type of yoga is practiced in a room that’s heated to a 100 degrees Fahrenheit. As you can imagine it’s very hot and sweaty, but hey, it keeps Ashton looking hot, so it must be worth it.
