Russell Brand is training to become a yoga teacher. The Get Him to the Greek star is a huge fan of the Indian exercise and wellbeing practice and even thinking of opening his own studio in Los Angeles with the help of his instructor Tej Kaur.
"His teacher at Goldenbridge Yoga is in charge of teacher training at the center and has encouraged Russ to take the course. He decided to give it a go. The pair have become good friends and Russell relies on Tej to bring calmness into his often crazy life. Once he's finished his course next Spring, he'll set up his own studio in Los Angeles," a source said.
Former sex and drugs addict Russell, 37, may even use the center to help those less fortunate than himself. "He has this idea of an all-giving studio where teachers work for their own fulfillment and those in need such as the homeless and addicts in need of finding their spiritual soul. He wants to create his own mantra and take his teachings round the world like other renowned teachers he's learned from in the past. It's all part of his dream of building his own community and he would like to offer free classes to those in need. It would also include meditation, cooking classes, lectures and aromatherapy classes," the source added.

Jay-Z wants yoga lessons from Chris Martin.
The “99 Problems” rapper has been supporting Chris’s band Coldplay on tour and admits that he is envious of the singer’s on-stage flexibility and wants to be able to mimic his movements.
The hip-hop star, who is good friends with Chris and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow, said, “I try and work out four times a week—cardio, weights, push ups, pull ups—but I haven’t for a month because of vacation and touring. Chris hasn’t tried to get me to do yoga yet, but I am close to doing it. I’m envious of what he can do on stage. Watching him is amazing, he can really move. I want to be able to move like that, get my leg behind my ear, things like that.”
The rapper, who is married to Beyonce Knowles, enjoys life on the road but admits he misses his home comforts: “I miss my bed, the comfort of your own bed, there’s nothing like it. I only trust my own sheets. I don’t take my own with me though.”

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz says that yoga helped her bond with her son.
The 24-year-old star, who has a nine-month-old baby, Bronx Mowgli, with husband Pete Wentz, loved doing the low-impact stretching exercises when she was pregnant as it made her feel closer to her baby.
“Your body is changing, and it’s such an amazing time to feel that connection. I did prenatal yoga, which was a nice way to mellow down and focus on me and Bronx. Being pregnant was the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life. Except for the cupcakes!”
Ashlee enjoyed being pregnant, adding that it gave her valuable time to adjust to the way her life was changing: “I’ve grown up so much. The great thing about being pregnant is that you have nine months and it really does prepare you. Being a mom’s so empowering and incredible. I’m one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason, and if you just go with it, that’s where the best moments come from.”
