Hannah Tokuno has returned to give us some Ohmmmmmm. The Californian model has been practicing Yoga and Meditation for almost 15 years and says that it clears her mind and acts as a great stress reliever.
Modeling can be challenging, and at times soul destroying. It's not easy to let the effects of competition and rejection roll off your back. Therefore, it is important to include activities in your day-to-day life that make you happy.
Meditation is one of the best ways to generate calm. It also allows you to focus on your goals and positive thoughts, and manifest them into your reality. If you've never tried it before, now is the time! Find a nice quiet spot to sit or lie down, then let Hannah teach you how to meditate in the video below. Namaste.
If you've got World Cup fever or you just want to play soccer instead of watching it, the former pro-soccer player turned model, Maya Tucker is back to show you how you can incorporate a bit of footy into your workout. For this week's Workout Wednesday, Maya demonstrates a few of her favorite soccer exercises. Don't worry if you have never done this before - we've included some instructional videos for the more complex footwork.
