Yoga and meditation exercises regularly appear in the national news, not least because plenty of celebrities love to do them. What is it about the holistic health regimen that attracts stars and starlets?

Some celebs aren't telling. For instance, the Daily Mail recently spotted actress Katie Holmes leaving a yoga session with mat firmly in hand. While she didn't open up about her love for yoga, her mussed hair and empty water bottle indicated that she probably got a real workout.

Other famous and fashionable folks have no trouble explaining why they can't do enough yoga and meditation for beginners (or in some cases, experts).

For instance, in an interview conducted by the Washington Post, model Christy Turlington Burns described her enthusiasm for yoga in no uncertain terms.

In order to train for an upcoming event promoting her maternal wellness charity Every Mother Counts, she has been doing extra sessions of yoga and talking about it online.

"I said I'd only tweet about my issue, but now with my run, I tweet about that, and yoga, too," she told the newspaper, adding that she has been an avid yoga practitioner for 25 years.

What event will Turlington Burns be participating in? A full marathon.
