Americans looking for back pain treatment may want to follow celebrities' lead and do yoga

Yoga is considered an effective method of back pain treatment for millions of Americans who suffer from debilitating discomfort. The holistic program, which originated many centuries ago in the East, has taken the Western world by storm with its calming breathing exercises, relaxing poses and tranquil stretches. Many enthusiasts report that the regimen enhances multiple aspects of their well-being, enabling them to stay physically fit while strengthening their mental and emotional health.

The secrets of self healing yoga are not so confidential after all, seeing as so many celebrities swear by the mind-body technique to help them stay fit and feel great.

One such individual is Imogen Thomas, a Welsh supermodel and actress who was photographed by the Daily Mail after attending one of her many yoga classes. The 28-year-old was spotted leaving a studio in a white bra top and shorts that revealed her impressive abdominal muscles.

Thomas has not stinted on praise when it comes to the holistic regimen, even taking to Twitter to tell her followers, "I'm gonna post some photos to show you what yoga does to your body," quoted by the news source.

Victoria's Secret model Erin Heatherton is another yoga devotee, according to the Skokie Patch. The 22-year-old beauty recently unveiled a new line of sportswear known as VSX Sexy Sport, which promotes comfortable clothing designed for yoga, which she says is important because "I need to stretch out all my muscles."

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail also snapped photos of a pregnant Alyssa Milano leaving a prenatal yoga class. The actress, who is weeks away from giving birth, was photographed wearing a soft black tank top and carrying a hot pink yoga mat.

With all of the famous faces leaving yoga classes these days, it's no wonder that so many Americans have caught on to the vast benefits of the relaxing mind-body program.
