Kate Beckinsale, 50, showed off her strong abs, arms, and legs in a yoga workout Instagram video.
Kate loves practicing yoga and even says it may help her avoid injury while filming action movies.
To fuel her workouts, Kate shared with WH that she eats lots of protein and veggies.
Kate Beckinsale started her Halloween off strong with an intense yoga workout. The Pearl Harbor actress, 50, showed off her sculpted abs, arms, and legs doing a serious morning stretch with instructor Jessica James.
In an Instagram video, the Underworld star begins her workout by pushing her legs over her torso and head into Plow pose, with her fingers interlaced behind her back. After lying back down on the mat, Kate grabbed James' ankles for support as she moved up into a bridge to work on her back flexibility. She then ended the series with a Happy Baby pose, grabbing each foot to stretch out her inner thighs.
"Halloween morning. Have as good a one as you can x 🎃," Kate captioned the video. "Goddess Kate, you are as physically flexible as you are talented and beautiful!" said one fan. "Bend it like Beckinsale," another commented. And she got props from still another: "Beautiful plow pose 🙏."
Earlier this month, Kate did another yoga workout with James, which included some hardcore partner work together:
Oh, and Kate's not the only one who gets in on the flexibility fun! Het cat also joins in on her yoga workouts:
Besides working with James, Kate also practices her flows with yoga instructor Mandy Ingber and friends. The group had a yoga session together back in August. "I love savasana. But savasana on a puppy pile of the people I trust the most in the world is the best," Kate captioned her post-sweat sesh pic.
Kate even credits yoga with protecting her body while she's at work. "I haven’t been injured while doing an action movie, and I think that’s partially from practicing yoga," she told Women's Health in 2020.
But don't just take Kate's word for it—yoga's mental and physical benefits abound. "Most yoga classes involve flowing through a series of poses (like downward dog, tree pose, warrior pose, and cobra) that utilize your body weight as resistance," Cedric Bryant, PhD, president and chief science officer at the American Council on Exercise, previously told Women's Health. "The focus is on improving balance, flexibility, and the mind-body connection."
Prana
Prana is one of the very first yoga brands I fell in love with. Its clothes are totally built for a yogi lifestyle—they're comfortable, lovely, and super-versatile. The Midtown Capri, in particular, is one of my staples for yoga flows and just everyday life.
Outdoor Voices
You know all those really adorable pastel sports bra and legging sets you see all over Instagram? Well those are often from Outdoor Voices, and yes, they're just as lovely IRL. Its leggings and tops come in a fun new mix of color combos every season, so you can find one that best suits your yogi vibe. Just one piece of advice: OV's classic "Spring Leggings" are great for lighter yoga, but if you're into sweatier vinyasa or hot yoga, opt for their "TechSweat" options instead.
Lululemon
Before you shout "duh!" at your computer, hear me out! Sure, Lululemon built its brand around its iconic yoga pants, but actually, that's not why they made my list. I'm a huge fan of many of Lulu's yoga-centric products, including this Reversible Mat. It offers amazing cushion and support (which is clutch if you have sensitive knees, like me). Lululemon also makes great yoga bags, low-impact sports bras, and yes, high-quality leggings.
Alo Yoga
Alo Yoga is a fave (and not just because Halle Berry is obsessed with the brand). They make pretty, flowy tops, sweet matching sports bra-and-leggings sets, and stylish jackets to throw on top of your yogi outfit. I especially love Alo's Goddess Leggings, which are essentially half tights, half form-fitting leg warmer. (What's not to love?)
Beyond Yoga
If you like to feel comfy, and I mean really comfy, during your yoga flow, look no further than Beyond Yoga's workout clothes. Its leggings—especially any made with BY's Spacedye performance fabric—feel equal parts silky and cozy on your skin. Plus, its high-waisted leggings are some of the best I've tried. They sit above your belly-button, but don't feel too tight against your stomach—perfect for flowing from pose to pose with ease.
Manduka
Manduka makes a wide range of yoga-focused products—everything from apparel to yoga mats. I've tried and loved all of the above, and always get compliments on these leggings. But, as someone whose hands often sweat to the point of slippage during yoga, I'm a big fan of the brand's yoga towels. They come in all kinds of colors and patterns, and give you great grip.
Jade Yoga
Speaking of not slipping during a flow...Jade Yoga mats still go down in my book as the grippiest around. They come in various degrees of thickness, and lots of colors and styles—plus, each one offers the same impressive no-slip traction. Bonus: They're made from eco-friendly, natural rubber. Jade Yoga also makes a number of other yoga props, including blocks, straps, and towels.
Athleta
Athleta makes super-reliable and high-quality workout clothes for everything from running to boxing. And its yoga selection is no exception. I especially love the brand's sports bras, which offer just enough support for your flow. Plus, they often include cute details. like criss-crossed straps, that add a little something extra to a simple yoga outfit. Bonus: Many of their products are now made with recycled material.
Onzie
If you're looking for super-fun, vibrant yoga clothes—Onzie is your brand. From graphic patterns to leopard print and more, its offerings will help you express your fierce inner yogi. It also makes great, flowy tops like this twist back shirt (that I've worn more times than I can count), which pair perfectly with their funky sports bras.
Liforme
I was introduced to this brand about four years ago, and I've been obsessed with its eco-friendly mats ever since. They are made with non-toxic material and are biodegradable. What makes them even cooler is they feature strategically placed lines that are designed to help you find proper alignment and body placement. Bonus: They come with a yoga mat bag to help you tote your planet-friendly mat with ease.
La Vie Boheme
I was introduced to this brand about four years ago, and I've been obsessed with its gorgeous patterned mats ever since. While these mats aren't the most technical ones around, I love that they offer a bit of extra cushion. Plus, you have something beautiful to look at throughout your flow.
Gaiam
If you're looking for a more affordable yoga gear and clothing brand, Gaiam has you covered. This brand offers a solid yoga mat for less than $20, with countless patterns and colors to choose from. It also has plenty of yoga props, including blocks, bags, and straps. And if you're in the market for a cute new yoga outfit that will cost you less than $100, check out some of its sweet sets.
toesox
Do your feet slip and slide around during your flow? Yeah, same, and it kinda disrupts the Zen. One solution: yoga socks. ToeSox makes all kinds of different options with grippy soles—including toeless pairs, full- or partial-coverage, and versions designed for specific activities in mind, including yoga. Bonus: The can double as barre or Pilates socks.
To fuel her body well for her yoga workouts, Kate shared with WH that she likes to eat lots of protein like chicken, eggs, and salmon. And she always loads up on veggies, like her go-to salad with radishes, Brussels sprouts, and safflower oil. For a salty treat, she reaches for chips.
Keep on flexin', Kate!
