Sure yoga has had more than just fifteen minutes of fame.  With celebrity giants like Madonna and Sting flexing perfectly toned bodies and swearing by the benefits of yoga, it was bound to become a rage and have a large number of people hitting Yoga classes.  Here is a list of celebrities who practice yoga:

• Madonna: The yoga rage can be most attributed to one of the staunch believers and practitioners of Yoga, Madonna.  Madonna began practicing Yoga after the birth of her daughter in 1996.  It did bring Madonna back to shape, but additionally it continues to give her promising health and a shapely body till date, even at the age of 50.  Madonna practices ashtanga Yoga on a daily basis and simply seems to be blown over by the benefits of Yoga, when she quotes ““Yoga is a metaphor for life. You have to take it really slowly. You can’t rush. You can’t skip to the next position. You find yourself in very humiliating situations, but you can’t judge yourself. You just have to breathe, and let go. It is a workout for your mind, your body and your soul.”  Clearly yoga has given her a much more than a slim and healthy body.
• Sting: the veteran singer is nearing count 60 and definitely doesn’t look his age,  at least not when his charismatic smile, still low on wrinkle count and his amazing energy level is called into question. Thanks to yoga, the singer has been able to stay fit and charming as ever.  Sure his wife and children must have also picked some inspiration for practicing yoga.  His wife Trudie styler and kids practice yoga too. 
• Ricky Martin:  for the pop sensation Yoga is not just a body sculpting regime.  Yoga for him, it is a means to connect the body and the mind, to help a person stay in control and treat everyone with love and respect.  To achieve this,  Ricky Martin practices a milder form of yoga called Hatha Yoga.
• Gwyneth Paltrow: Gwyneth leaves a Yoga message wherever she goes.  Clearly she has reaped the benefits of Yoga and is all set to inspire a lot more people into learning and practicing yoga.  Gwyneth has been practicing Yoga for over 20 years now and feels that it is a life changing experience. She largely owes her fit and lean physique to yoga, but Like Ricky Martin, she believes that Yoga is a way to get centered. 
The rage of Yoga is spreading like wild fire and my list would just become endless if I continued to talk about each one of them.  Nevertheless,  it is not just the fad of Yoga that has an innumerable number of people practicing it.  As anyone who practices yoga, and they would not deny that it is form of exercise and rejuvenation like no other.  Will spill out a few more names before I sign out Meg Ryan, Candice Bergen, Nick cage, Naomi Watts, Uma Thurman, Kareem Abdul, Sachin Tendulkar, Oprah Winfrey, Angelina Jolie and Cameron Diaz.
