The noted pop singer Madonna, who donned the role of a yoga teacher in a movie, is into Ashtanga Yoga in real life also.
In the film ‘The Next Best Thing’ (released in 2000) which stars Madonna as Abbie, a yoga teacher, whose friendship with a gay man undergoes a dramatic change, yoga gets royal treatment. The $ 30 million-film was directed by John Schlesinger. In one of the important sequences in the movie, Madonna demonstrates a series of difficult yoga poses with many of her instructors. “The kind of yoga that I am doing in the film is Ashtanga Yoga, which is a kind I practice in real life,” she says.
