Sports from Rachel McAdams

Figure skating

Figure skating is a sport in which individuals, pairs, or groups perform on figure skates on ice. It was the first winter sport to be included in the Olympic Games, when it was contested at the 1908 Olympics in London.
Rachel McAdams
Actor
I've always loved sports. I'd started figure skating when I was four years old, competing regionally until I was 18. Figure skating and living that lifestyle really taught me how to be in tune with my body and physicality. It gives you a command of your body and a confidence.
Practice from Rachel McAdams

Yoga

Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India and aim to control (yoke) and still the mind, recognizing a detached witness-consciousness untouched by the mind (Chitta) and mundane suffering.
Rachel McAdams
Actor
McAdams is passionate about yoga. "I'm going to sound like a typical actor, but I love, love, love yoga," she says. "That's daily for me! I love kundalini yoga. I get a lot out of doing that in the morning. It gets my mind and body in gear. That's been a fixture in my life for a number of years now. When I want to break a sweat I'm also into high- intensity interval training. I really enjoy it."
