In an effort to celebrate international yoga day, we thought it would be fitting to pay homage to one of the most toned bodies in hollywood and shout out the yoga instructor behind her look.
Just make sure your eyes are open for this one. Remember the mother-of-all body roll’s Jessica Alba’s character Nancy Callahan put on show at about 1.45sec of the sin city trailer? We do!
We know where she got the body and moves from for the flick, but since then one of the ways she stays in ab-tastic shape is none other than hot yoga.
Leave it to Jessica Alba to find a yoga instructor who has a wait-list for his classes (We have been placed at #13 and turned away!) and has danced on stage with the likes of Madonna, Prince, Janet Jackson and Mary J Blige to name a few.
Omar Lopez who teaches the famous and ever packed Sculpt class at Hot8Yoga has been working with Alba for about three years since she “came into the studio and took my sculpt class,” Lopez said in a previous interview. “Sculpt is something completely different. It’s something else. People don’t know how packed it gets.”
Oh yes we do! So does Alba who likes the variety Lopez brings to the yoga practice. “She doesn’t just do yoga…we do fusion,” Lopez said. “It’s a combination of yoga, dance, kickboxing, pliometrics and more. She likes to dance she likes yoga and this is all in one.”
There you have it! And in case you are wondering how Alba does hot yoga classes at home, well, it’s pretty simple: “It’s just a garage and heat but it’s fully functional,” said Lopez. “It’s hot!”
No excuses folks… just heat up a room and go!
But if you want to check out Omar Lopez’ classes go to Hot8Yoga and show up at least half and hour early or you will probably miss out!
